are you taking the piss Cara or you are seriously thinking of putting a 800 hp super charger on your car?

ive seen you drive NA and i can asure you with anything over 300 hp you will become a statistic.

please be careful.

hey darren,

no im not taking the piss.

and i will not becoming a statistic.....do you honestly think ill be driving the 34 as a daily with a 800hp supercharger hangin off the side? dude, i aint the frikin stupid. i have a plan in place and i will be sticking with it and that includes doing advance driving etc,, when tho the car will be mainly show/dyno queen and every now and then going down the track. everythins is being looked at to make sure the car is done properly before she goes on the track or road. im doing this properly. no shortcuts, yes it will be expensive, but in the end it will be worth it,

Cara, have you thought about going a bit more custom and running dual stage injectors?

It'd make low rev driving better/more responsive.

:thumbsup:

yeah i could ruby, lol but this whole thing is headache already and i dont wanna make it even more a headache lol

i just spoke to my guru, John Keen, and he said i can go 850cc without any dramas, he was running 850cc in Jakes VL and that was doing 650 rwkw and still had plenty left in them before they maxed out.

what fuel setup are you planning Cara? External pump/surge tank/ braided lines?

most likey damo

im guessing your engine is getting a full forged build not just bolting this stuff on....

and if u only 'upgraded' to gt-t brakes and kings springs i think money can be spent elsewhere...

ive already upgraded to that lol

and yes my engine will be getting a full rebuild and will be having a RB26 crank/pistons/conrods combo which will mean she will be stroked to 2.7L.

ill be going with ISC coilovers for my suspension, but there is alot of other nitty gritty things that i will be needing to speak to John Keen about when the car goes in for her service and tune next month, im hoping i can then finalise everything i need on my list and then get bit by bit.

what happened to the 2.8 litre stroker idea? that would've been the way to go

not at $10,000 just for the kit its not a good idea lol

i think stroking to 2.7 L is gonna be enough and i can do it for less, a new RB26 crank is about $1100

i don't know but i have seen n/a cars that go! e.g. k20 in a eg and the dude pulled 12.8 on the quarter. in america there are single cam 4 banger n/a ripping up 9's! so go figure

drag racing (and driving around in circles) is what americans do, its no wonder they can get n/a cars to put down good numbers. theyve also had more money invested into them than most people will spend on a house.

if you wanna see a wierd n/a haul some ass hpi dvd 4 has a 260z with a L6 (original motor) with a bottle of nos and some other stuff no doubt,

and then go's on to drop a 8sec quarter, had to rewatch it about 10times before i believed that the orignal motor could pull that sh*t

    • 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
