New hiccup this afternoon whilst tuning. Slipped teeth was the diagnosis. Will hopefully be fixed tomorrow and hopefully finished. Car was making impressive figures before that and sounded great.

1123nm of torque was reached early also struggled for traction at anything over 2000rpm which is a pain.

Here is a pic for the meantime

lookin the goods Scottie.

Can't wait t'il u can post some final dyno results buddy

So far it isyes. Traction really is the biggest killer for me at the moment. Anyone got ideas of how to help with it? Currently running 275 semi slicks on 18's also have BC racing coilovers. Im going to look at softening the rears up. In regards to boost levels Richo was playing around with it at 25-30psi so will see in coming days what it performs best at

1100nm of torques is impressive...good luck hanging onto that :P

GTR rear guards and 315's will help that, but really with the power your looking at, nothing is going to save you :devil:

Im interested to see what he gets out of it once he can finally put his boot through the right pedal!

Most reckon semi's will show a lower power figure aswell. Try and get some cheapy rubber on there so you can compare apples with apples.If it spins, sit in the boot :yes:

Hope it goes well.

Funny you mention sitting in the boot. I said to the tuner to just throw some of the old motors he has lying around in there for some weight haha

You can mess with any dyno, Greg's V6 rodeo gave somewhere around 350kw on the dyno at our most recent dyno day.....lol

accurate would be running it as you will on the street/strip. no point talking numbers if you can't actually show them when it counts.

imo.

Agree to some extent.

Most 'talk numbers' using street tyres on the dyno. No doubt the results will be compared with others cars so if he is using a tyre that is claimed to produce a lower reading there will always be that differential, let alone the dyno and a gazillion other things, which will make comparisons more difficult.

    • 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
