Its a good number. But I cant spoil it for the owner :)

Ive heard very good things, as expected!

Cough *cut price GTRS upgrade*

You too hey? Thought I was the only one special enough to know :(

It's nothing huge, but an expected figure and there's probably room for a few more killerwasps with a couple more mods. Definitely a worthwhile street car upgrade, given how early it comes on.

Were you guys breaking traction in the vid?

easily more then 240kw? not hating but it doesnt really even look that quick.. maybe the video is miss leading.. and lol at breaking traction .. are you listening with your ears blocked n eyes shut.

I'm on a laptop in an office, what do you want me to do, put on some fucking Sennheisers? Speed looked to be going up inconsistently with the RPM, was curious if there was any break in the drivetrain, be it clutch or wheelspin.

On that note, I bet I can film a video of me breaking traction in a car with the camera looking at a blurry view of the dash and you wouldn't know it.

To me the SS1PU is a GTRS replacement with a little more scope for a well sought setup.

That being said, the GTRS is a 240-250kw item with ballistic response. So far the SS1PU is living up to my expectations, and Stao has shown it definitely has the scope for more (which I dont think the GTRS can do 'as easily').

If I owned an SS1PU on a fairly simple setup I would want around 240 and id be happy with its outcome. If I had spent lots of time making sure my cooler and exhaust and stuff were all good, and no valve float etc, then I would want 270 from it. Remember that Stao runs a fresh motor and upgraded valve springs. While it still is a 'stock' RB25 it is pretty much the best a stock RB25 can be.

As Birds has noted previously, the guy has spent countless hours perfecting his test car and knows how to get the best out of it. Dont buy an SS1PU expecting 280kw without LOTS of effort.

    • 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
