hey guys

ill enlighten you on the situation... the other night i was waiting at the lights when a ford mustang pulled up against me.... when the lights turned green i planted my foot down on the pedal...... i tried my hardest to pull away from the mustang but with a stock rb20det it wasnt good enough.... when i was reaching speed of 130km the car was struggling to gain higher speed.... is this because my ecu was cutting my speed...

No... Its called a stupidity sensor actually. Nissan fitted it to some cars, but not to others it seems.

Basically the car realises you are street racing, and it stops the party for you as its... illegal, stupid & dangerous.

Gimme one good reason why i shouldnt close this thread.

Yes it is, behind the left kick panel is your ecu, take it out and cut all the red wires out with wirecutters. This will let your car go much faster.

I have done this mod and my speedlimit is 243kmph. its not unlimited but i guess its good enoung.

I was told if you cut all the wires with stripes on them it runz 44psi and makes your injectors 1000cc

Somebody should say something constructive:

PSI R32 - As you can see we are all having a go at you, pulling the leg, please don't do what you do - don't race on the street. Join up here and go racing at Wakefield, WSID, or Oran Park etc instead. dragging, drifting, racing.

This forum is a great source of information, parts, help, idea's and just for making friends. And we all try in our way to discourage illegal street racing/hooning etc. We want you to enjoy your car, but do it in a way that you can live with. Too many good mates don't live through the impulsive years, we are all just trying in our way to stop you doing anything stupid. Come to a few events and learn to appreciate your car at so many other levels.

Help us to make it better.

AFAIK factory speed limit is 180km/h ...sounds more like ur stock blower was running out of puff

But seriously dude...if ur gonna race..do it at the track..chances are you'll get more attention/cred running a 10 sec pass on the strip than occasionally winning a street race against a mustang with a driver who couldnt tell a stick shift from his left elbow!!

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
