how the hell is the RS4 S faster than the 260RS?

Haha you know it is, makes perfect sense! Well in the world of GT4 the RS4 makes a max 590HP, and about 600Nm @ 3200rpm from memory. Whereas the RS260 makes about 570HP, and a little less torque, but at 4400rpm or so. I assume the Nitrous used adds the same amount of power to either engine, you're not told how much that is so only guessin.

On the strip I'd think the higher rpm torque of the RS260 would be better. However the RS260 can be reduced to 1427kg, the RS4 1360kg, hence the RS4 should be faster. Doesn't reflect real-life, but I'm an RS4 driver so you won't see me complaining :nyaanyaa:

But that time of 9.458 in the RS260 I thought was bloody quick considering the weight difference, just not the fastest Stagea!!

Haha who can beat my 9.433?!!? I see its getting close!!

and my best 260RS time:

Running as close to the same settings as possible in both cars.

I am a really sucky driver so someone can beat this time I am sure, just think drag car/traction and you will get it there pretty easy, maybe a bit of luck!

Cheers

So, are you guys hitting the rev limiter in 5th, or at least 4th by the 400m line? If not, id say you could make the ratios shorter.

Try to make the car shift at the point where the power starts to drop off, then it shift into a point where the power is almost peak.

Also, id say its safe to assume that the NOS just makes a "boost" of power through the entire powerband, meaning peak power etc will all be at the same time.

Yeah I have been lazy to date, have just used the overall ratio thing to bring them all down to the point when I get the limiter light falshing in 6th as I hit the line. 1/2/3 shift so fast then spend a bit more in 4th then most in 5th. I will have to look into that!

what specs have you guys been tuning to get such low times, at the moment im getting 11second passes

Have you got 500+KW and Qualifying tyres? Basically, full power mods, tune the gearbox to use all six over the quarter, use traction control and auto gearbox mode. You should get into the 10's with that easy, just holding it flat...

Not sure if we are sharing too much more yet??? But it's all in there.

:D

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
