we ran out of time - we had it on the dyno and had to add fuel everywhere - but initially found differences of 30 odd rwkw lower because of it wheelspinning on the dyno - with almost 100L water in boot + 2 people, plus 1 person either side holding chocks on front wheels it still tried to jump off the dyno (twice)... but ended up netting same result of 262 with cam gears set at 0.

due to adding fuel in throughout the tune - gives me the impression it's making more power - just cant get it to the rollers.

Once we get more time / get around to it - will get it all strapped in properly and spend the time tuning it with adjustments to cam gears.

on another note - made some more changes. to some things

- new steering rack boots (checked s14 rack is not leaking yay)

- tension bar to rear cradle / toe arms

- locking washers all fited

- cradle angle changed by adding pinapples

- diff angle changed

cheers

it's been a while... so just a quick update - a few new bits have been ordered / fitted... will post pics when they're done.

I have a bar welded in between castor rod brackets.

Carbon Fibre GT wing fitted.

Supernow rack spacer - on it's way

326 power modified knuckles - currently being done

bolt on flares - on their way

bolt on spacers x4 - yet to be fitted

Also had a little bit of a bingle at mallala, but all fixed and painted, it was just fibreglass mainly.

G1 rd 2 is this weekend so should have some good action shots :D

Hey Matt,

Just saw your pics of the black 99 stag with the R34 GTR wheels nice car. Is it a RS or a RS4? Auto or Man?

I only ask cause i have the same car with the std wheels and have been looking into getting a set of the same wheels for it. Any problems with skrubbing? What is your Centre of wheel to guard height?

Does it toe the car ok? I have been thinking how they would go towing a larger car, I have a R33 GTST track car that i have to toe around with my dads 4WD.

Sorry for the 20 questions.

PS: Nice drifter.

Cheers,

Ryan

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
