  1. What ratio is the diff? 4.3 4.1 ? How is the limited slip, worn out or good Simon
  2. Hey Gary, I too am keen for your S13 package, the 32 GTS-T is just fantastic which I've said previously As a comparison, i took my 32 4door around QR a few weeks ago, didn't have a flat out go on the sprint track, but was at ~85-90% and working up slowly before the diff died. I was only 4 seconds off my RB25 powered Sil80 time of 60.7. 4door was keeping up with STI's Evo 9's and 996's in corners and under brakes...until power came into the equation. Keep in mind the 32 is running standard boost 3 inch exh, rb74 pads, the killer SK suspension package and the same semi slick tyres as the Sil80-that's it. The Sil80 has ~330rwhp HKS suspension, whiteline bars, adjustable everything suspension wise and rb74s pad on the front and is ~200kg lighter than my 32. That should give you an indication how good SK's suspension package is. So Gary, what changes would need to be made for the extra weight of the RB25 in the S13?? Cheers Simon
  3. I have a HKS3037S ex gate, 0.73 ex housing 56 intake trim on my RB25 reaches 21psi @ 3700rpm and hold it to 8000. Thought about going to the 0.87 ex housing but when you look at my torque courve it's dead flat from3700-7200 then trails off ever so slightly, so for my application, its perfect. I have 356rwhp but there's still more in it. I had a fuel pump problem which was limiting things. No fixed back to the dyno soon. Hope this helps
  4. As always Gary, your selfless input is very appreciated. I've saved your advice on a word document for future reference. RB26/30 build begins
  5. Thanks Gary! Also i never did find out suggested bar settings. Currently front on hard and rear on middle. Again great kit Gary
  6. Hey Gary, Just wanted to say the suspension is just fantastic. Took it to Queensland Raceway on the weekend, was very impressed, car is so predictable Question. If i transplant an RB25/30 and RB25 gearbox into the 32, was changes would i need to make to the suspension to handle the extra weight Cheers Simon
  7. Hats off, looks like u had awesome access, got any other pics to share? ......what's with the underweear model????
  8. Hi Gary, Well in the end i raised the car to it's maximum height. Rasied it ~20mm. Fixed the camber problems front and rear but left it at 1mm rear toe in each side. Definately much better. Springs are settling in and the ride is firm but very compliant- damper rates are just perfect For anyone thinking about getting the kit, feel free to drop me a PM. I purchased the complete kit and recommend it highly. I also have a 500hp Sil80 that sees more time at QR then the road. The car has seen some development and Gary's street setup for the GTS-T is pretty darn good when compared to it. I wait with interest Gary for your S13/180SX suspension kit
  9. I'm an idiot. That's what you get for not checking things yourself as you'd think that a reputable suspeinsion establishment would check their work. I've just measured the wheel to guard height and it's too low. The rears are 320-ish mm fronts are 330. I asked for 350/340 and metioned that the struts shoud be set at that height out of the box. The circlip should be in the yellow banded groove. That's why the rear camber can't be adjusted any further and the rear tyres are rubbing on the guards- I thought it might have been caused by less -ve camber but now i know. I'll take it back it and get it re-done.
  10. Hi Gary, I'll check out the upper arm- thanks Yes, i asked what the possible cause would be for the rear camber- they mentioned that they tried to adjust the standard rear camber adjusters to help but to no avail. Thanks for the rear toe advice, it's currently set to 1mm in as they thought it was a total figure. Again thanks for the help with the kit- it's a different car on the road.....I'm glad i don't need to wear the kidney belt in the car anymore Again many thanks Simon
  11. Hi Gary, Had the Kit fitted today today. It was suggested that my front left hub arms might be bent as the least amount of camber they could dial in was -2.05degrees. Also what was puzzling, with the 350/340 ride height and 1 camber kit for the rear, again, the least amount of camber they could get was-1.4 left and -1.0 right? I thought i only needed 1 kit for that ride height? I guess I'll need the inner bush for the rear axel to dial this out? Was able to get ~6.2 and 6.4 degrees caster Question. The setting of +2mm rear toe in. Is that a total figure so 1mm each side or 2 each side. Also what bar stabliser settings should i set? Other than these minor glitches, the kit handles very well and has a nice ride quality Regards Simon
  12. Hi Gary These were the stiff Teins I've just taken out and replaced with your kit. Front ID 98mm/70mm Thickness 16mm Turns 7.6 Rear ID 88mm/71mm Thickness 14mm turns 7.7 Cheers Simon
  13. Hey Rianto, Been on 6 weeks holiday, received my rotors. Many thanks Will add you to my sucessful traders Regards Simon
  14. 550's be albe to support around 100hp each so around 600hp My HKS 3037S with 0.73 ex housing is still climbing at 8000rpm- Tomei 256 8.5mm lift External gate. 21psi at 3700rpm
  15. Hi Gary, Suspension has arrived. Thanks Simon
  16. sorry wrong section
  17. Hi Gary, Can you please advise the final cost of the complete kit sent to Brisbane please. I am chasing the entire kit, need to replace my super-stiff and annoying Tein coilers front and rear the rest of the suspension is standard. Will i need the bump stops? Kind regards Simon
  18. R33 racer, you must be gusting 220 braking for turn 1, I know i am? I won't make it, engine still out of the sil80: Modifiying the sump to prevent oil oressure loss on braking. Hoping to make it back for Wednesday arvo in november
  19. May as well. There is an extensive one in the QLD section of www.nisssansilvia.com.au Here is the link; http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/WORKSHOPS-t119823.html
  20. I run those cams in my Rb25. I too have asjustable gears but the cams are set to 0degrees. I have a HKS 3037s running 1.5 bar 0 is still the best setting.
  21. PM sent
  22. Hi, What is the dofference between the small and large body CATs other than $90? Cheers I'll be in the next group buy seeing I've missed this one. I'll be chasing the ceramic coated pipe for R32 Cheers Simon
