I have a dyno chart on one of my computers somewhere. But seriously, you touched the throttle and it hammered. Any gear at any road speed, well it was insane. When i drive it at the track it was hell quick even short shifting at 5,000rpm as it had so much midrange. You coudl go real fast without reving the ringer or stressing the cooling systems

I have too disagree on keeping the standard turbo and agree with Roy. A HKS 2530 or a GTRS (or something along those lines) when set up properly is just as responsive as the stock one, if not more.

spot on.

Curious about the recommendation of the HKS 2530 - a mate had one on a RB25DET NEO and it seemed to just run out of puff! He then swapped it for a HKS 2540 and the thing pulls like a frieght train with only a FMIC, EBC and exhaust! (running a Stagea computer though).

the area under the graph of the 2530 vs the 2540 proves the loss in bottom end is not worth the extra top end.

im quite aware that an rb25 is not going to stack up at all against the mines rb26, just thought it was a good heading... obviously it was for the responses i have been given.

all im after is a car that has lighting response,well balanced car... wasnt really interested in changing turbo... seems the go though.

thanks for the people with helpfull responses, its all been taking on bored.

cheers james

    • 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
