Hi guys - just a quick hello from Washington.

We have spent a few days in New York, and have been to Niagara Falls, and now Washington. The weather is awesome, sights fantastic and we are having a ball!

Cars here are very cool, and I have been taking plenty of photos of interest. Haven't seen any Skylines - except for V35s, of which I have only seen 3. Got some photos of them too!

Hope everyone is well, and I might do a longer post with some photos, when I get to Boston early next week, and have time to upload/edit them.

Hey Nightcrawler

Im in Calgary Canada at the moment but im commin to the USA in 2 days time (Seattle). I dunno what its like in DC but here every1 is driving Acuras and Hondas, I saw a R32 GTR for the first time this week in Banff (brought bk memories of home :P). I had a stop over in London for a day and that whole time I only saw 1 import which was a Soarer, the cost of fuel ova there is like $3 AU i think so imports arnt so popular. Newayz have fun man and if u can stay in a hostel with a bar, even if u can afford a hotel they are the best fun and u meet so many different ppl.

Cheers, Spangers

PS Anythin happening in SA?

Hmmmmmmmmmm I'm Jelous Andrew!

RIGHT now i'm currently supposed to be in LA BUT still stuck in Adelaide which sucks!

My Parent said the weather in NY was Awesome the other week. Like 30 odd something...

Anyway hope you have fun!

Like i said so so so jelous!

Sounds like you guys are having a ball Andrew. I'm guessing Caroline is with you?

By the time you read this you will have left Washington so I hope you had a chance to check out the Smithsonian (Smithsonians really as it's 7 musems in total!) the Aerospace museum is awesome! Plus all the usual places: The White House, Arlington (JFK's grave/changing of the guard etc.) The Pentagon and so on.

I have vivid memories of my last trip to the States (mid 2001) I even did the trip to the top of the World Trade Centre (can't remember which tower it was) and still have a little Statue Of Liberty that I bought from the gift shop at the top of the WTC.

Enjoy the rest of the trip mate. Stay safe.

I'll finish off with... GO THE CROWS!!! :wub:

Well we just got home safe and well - I am heading to bed now, but will do a nice big post in the next day or 2 outlining our adventures. As we have just come from Hawaii, and I have now been out of bed for over 24 hours (13 of those spent flying), I am stuffed!

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • 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  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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 🍻
