good work guys. should make a nice improvement with a functional gearbox and grippier tyres. i thought RSR's were quite grippy but with 350rwkw maybe they dont stand a chance, especially with axle tramp going on.

vids next time? :)

Nice work on the strip :-) glad its now proven that the turbos can trap the speed.

now its time for others to revisit their setups and their tuners.

Indeed, those trap speeds are much more like what one would expect from those power levels... for the sake of interest, what kind of blow of valve is this car running?

Well done stao and status - must've been interesting having it try to swap ends in 3rd or 4th on the strip! :P

Can't wait to get this new clutch in and get back to the strip.

What tyres are you going to run next? Some semis?

He's getting axle tramp as said which wouldn't be helping things.

Stao as reference if you aren't running pineapples already you should get onto it asap.

My S14 has pineapples and does not tramp at all, while friends who don't have the pineapples tramp like mofo's.

Yep, i agree... I had bad tramp and put the collers (dunno how to spell lol) and it made a HUGE difference....

Tramp is less about pineapples and subframe location issues than it is about damping. I agree, locking the subframe up with better/newer bushes and/or pineapples is a big help and probably a necessity, but I would always look to the rear damper settings/health as my main concern when trying to fix tramp.

GtScott: Would great if you can pass on a link to those pineapples. I will have a look into them.

Been recommended to Mickey Thomson 16inchs drag tyres. Will need to source that and a set of factory rear rims.

I took few video footages in bystander area. Will upload shortly.

Yep 11's would be my guess..... And yes locking the subframe made a huge difference on my car but doesnt mean it will on all cars :)

I'm thinking what happens if run a 1.06 turbine end on the G3. it should take away all the zappiness down low causing wheel spin while kicking in mid top range while the car's rolling at much higher speed.

Noob question. Quarter Time stands for taken completing the run. Does the car with higher mileage stands for a faster car after the completion of the track? assume if the run way is 1 full mile instead of quarter mile.

    • 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
