Sydneykid, feel free to PM me your honest opinion :P

I think we would all like to hear it. Whats it like on the street, does it just burst into wheel spin as soon as you get on boost? looks like it would be a handful to drive fast.

Dont get me wrong, i wasnt trying to put a downer on your results mate.. And im all for wheelspin.

My old 180 had 360rwhp and spun in 3rd coming onto boost on some surfaces.... but thought in 4th and with 197rwkw (or any car that spins a lot in 4th for that matter) you might want to look at your setup.

As fun as wheelspin is, nothing feels as awesome when it hooks up and slams you hard into the seat.

ok, the car is a drift car, not s street car, so i was after a fairly sharp torque range in the midrange for responce and the ability to keep the tyres smoking after entering a high speed corner while slowing down for a slow speec hair pin. XSomething a stock Rb20 doesnt do well.

not too fussed about making much more peak power... would rather have reliability and midrange torque then massive peak HP.

cheers

me = 270rwkw + no loss of traction coming on boost in 2nd/3rd at all running 245 streeters.... then i went to 300+ and only then did it squirm. Gotta control the right foot :(

That was a nice push into the seat.

guess thats the joy of linear power rather than a light-switch.

but a light-switch turbo would be much better suited to drift one would think. But i guess you can argue either way

... whereas with a bb turbo it would be more gradual resulting in less wheelspin.

Thats funny as the cars with big BB turbo that i have been in kick you in the guts and knock your teeth out! Then my turbo for isntance seems a bit duller when it ramps onto boost.

Perhaps mine has been tuned with the fact its rwd and i go to the track in mind??? I dont know, but the supposed hard boosting trust turbo on mine doesnt seem to hit hard...i want to scare myself when it comes onto boost , who cares if its slower :thumbsup:

    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
