hey everyone,

just thought i'd whack up a few pics i took when me and a couple of mates went on a bit of a cruise a few weeks back, starting in gawler, heading into the hills, through lobethal to mount lofty, then back down through adelaide to glenelg, then back to gawler via port adelaide. the weather was crap but it was still good to get out and go for a decent spin.

the orange BA xr6 turbo is my mate's and has around 330rwkw and 19inch rims, the blue AU III xr6 is his brother's and the blue green r33 is my pride and joy.

the pics arent the best as i just took them when we stopped every now and then and i had to reduce them in size a heap.

anyway, hope yas all like em,

take it easy,

ben

pic 1:stopped in lobethal

pic 4: stopped at the skatepark at west beach

:lol: so true ... just so that the now middle age v8 heads will not feel bad opting for the xr8 which is more expensive and like half a second faster in factory form.

amazing how much power lies in the xr6's though with little mods. im not even a ford fan.

People really shouldn't knock the Fords these days they've come along way, alot of people out there would be very surprised when they see the XR6T absolutly shitting over them. You gotta wonder why Holden have been bothering with that shitty little supercharger, Don't get me wrong blowers are all good, just not pissy little ones!

    • 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 🍻
