The stock speedo is horribly out at high speeds. My Pivot speed meter, showed 160km/h at the end of the 1/4 mile track, stock speedo showed 180km/h and the sheet said 160.5km/h.

5,500rpm in fifth usually hits the stock speed limiter which is set at 180km/h ain't it?

well, top of 4th is 180

so I'm thinking 5,500rpm in 5th is about 220 - 240.

Got there probably a little too quick... maybe in around 20 seconds?

stupid big turbo, making my car go too fast.

Should have checked the powerfc, its accurate isn't it?

205 55' 16" Tyres

4.363 Diff gears

RB20DET G/box ratio's of:

1st - 3.321

2nd - 1.902

3rd - 1.308

4th - 1.000

5th - 0.759

Reverse - 3.636

Please correct the above if wrong...

This is very accurate calc compared to what my PFC reads. 100km/h in 5th on the pfc is 2782km/h. This calc states 2780km/h.

The tacho reads ~2925rpm, so out considerably. :D

This is what I will eventually have.

25t box running 3.9:1 diff gears behind the rb30.

Make a nice cruiser + I won't notice the bottom end loss.

Due to the longer *thats if my ratio's are correct* 25t gearbox's first gear I wouldn't want to go a 3.7, would really be a pain in the arse with my ceramic puk clutch.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
