Hehe... true, but I think that particular Viper's V10 engine (which has a rather nice turbo running at 15PSI + NOS!!!) would pretty much leave the ol' 'line behind. :uh-huh:

The 1000HP dyno-sheet is also rather impressive... :D

there was a viper getting around here last sunday. nismorick wanted to have a go against it in his gtr butja the old dude wasn't into that kind of stuff. would have been good to see if they did have a go ..... $50,000 vs. $200,000 .... just to see if they are worth the money... personally I'd take a skyline, I'm not fond of anything thats got more cylinders than neccessary ....

I dont know exactly, i assumed theyd be around the 200 k mark :P Even so if i was buying a car that much i would be a multi millionaire to even consider it so the extra 200 or 300 k wouldnt bother me at all!

PS Ron dennis and i go way back so he could do me a litlle deal i spose

Having spent a day driving a 99 RT/10 Viper I can assure you all they are bloody wicked!!! Can you say TORQUE! Mind you with 8.0L’s you'd expect that. The Viper I drove accelerated as hard in 4th @ 60km/h as it did in 2nd. Somebody mentioned understeer!? Try oversteer, mostly power oversteer. The stock 315's aren't hard to break loose with 8.0L's of torque.

The built quality isn't the greatest, certainly not to Japanese standards, but it's not too bad.

Some Viper owners in the US have managed high 11's for the 1/4 stock! Not many complete standard factory cars can do that.

As for this beast, take a look @ the terminal speed on its "shake down" pass - 152mph!!! 10.11 1/4 with 152mph TS….. I'm guessing the 60ft time on that pass was very poor! Probably run on road tyres?

      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 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
