sweet thanks RBNT, I got the same msg from the track, first meeting is 24/12, too late unless my contract up here extends.

Of course, If I'm still in NT I'll have to give it a go :)

What sort of times was your GTR doing around the track?

Hey Duncan,

Ran a 1.27 but had overheating probs (track temp is very very high) and ic piping blowing all the time. Track surface is very good and gets even better as time goes on. You will find your best times are after the club cars go through, bit more rubber on the track (thanks dave). I suggest if you go out on the track for the first time you take it pretty easy all over. After you are familiar with the track the only place's to watch are the entry to clubhouse corner - some bumps just prior to the braking area so go in straight and brake hard late. The hairpin is a good one also, I have spoken to the top club car racer about how to go about this one but it is still a mystery to me. I felt quickest going through in 2nd and clutching it out of the corner to get a little sideways and make the attessa work. After the hairpin you will come up on the terrace turn which should be flat chat in 3rd. The sandtrap corner can be tricky - go wide and turn in sharp (hopefully you are not still flat out in 3rd) to wash off a bit of speed (atessa induced cornering out of the nissan bible of circuit racing) and prepare yourself for a bit of a rest down the main straight. Oh, dont forget to brake(^^) you will work out your own braking marker for that one. Will not be in Darwin to see you as I am travelling down to the ACT for a wedding at the time. All the best.

Arrived a couple of months ago with my '89 R32 GTR - which I've yet to get on the road (buggered turbos). Rebuilt with steel and BB

Looking for the odd spare part from an R32as well like the flat plastic underbody BOV protector plus odd screws etc.

And an oil filter reloation kit. Any of you guys have any opinions on running oil collers up in this part of the world? Necessary?

Seen a fewskylines on the roads including the white "Zilla" and met the R33 d00d at Japanese Motor Spares in Winnellie (nice car, nice bloke).

Cheers,

John

      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 🍻
