For those of you who don't know, one of the 12 Apostles collapsed over the weekend, leaving only 8 of the limestone rock formations left.

If you have not yet driven to Port Campbell to see these, then I suggest you make it a priority for a spare weekend, before there are none left. Since I first saw them on a school excursion almost 20 years ago - the London Bridge formation has collapsed also.

The drive along the Great Ocean Road is nothing short of spectacular - and makes a fabulous weekend away. The Golden Chain motel in Port Campbell even has spa rooms - perfect for a 'wink wink' weekend away :P

As a club, we try to have at least 2 drives down the Great Ocean Road every year - the first having been in March. We'll try to plan another one later in the year to take advantage of nicer weather, and hope that in the meantime, nature plays nicely and the rest of the Apostles stay there.

20 years ago, now you are showing your age! :uh-huh:

I have done the drive a couple of times and enjoyed it immensly. Maybe a remembrance cruise needs to be organised for the demise of the 9th Apostle.

Could your arm be twisted to go if weather is good???

Arm is quite twistable, but the weather this weekend is looking quite crap. That being said, I'm sure every man & his dog will take the opportunity to head down this weekend.

I'll have a chat to a few mates and see when they're interesting in making the pilgrimage.

:cheers:

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
