Awesome - glad it's finally at that stage, I would have thought it'd at least survive the dyno tune with a bit more boost so you don't need to go back for another tune just to get more from what you already had. Either way, good power at that boost... how does the spool look, and how does it drive? Happy?

Spool quite well I reckon considering its low boost level. Full boost at about 4500 so a bit laggy but one it's on it flies.

Traction issues are the biggest hurdle at the moment. 3rd gear rolling launches are straight wheel spin. Standing start 1st and 2nd area almost a write off

Argh, weird scale - it's really hard to tell the power numbers... though can see that it definitely wants more rpm! Looks like it is at 20psi by just after 4000rpm which isn't too bad, reasonably quick ramp rate too - does it actually feel laggy at all on the road.... how comparable is it with the GT3076R on the RB25 to drive?

yeahit is a weird scale. The lag isnt really that much considering the turbo size. Once it hits full boost it goes like a steam train in 3rd gear. Limiter at the moment is set to 6800. I've got to go back shotly and get the head tightened down so I might get him to throw a few more PSI at it and take the limiter out a bit further.

Feels like a totally different car compared to my old setup

New motor got its first taste of a track day today. Only a little happy laps session but good enough to get a feel for it. Ill start posting some videos once they upload

Managed to come across a lone photo from the Downshift Circuit & Coffee on Sunday.

Also you may notice that the car got some new plates. "MR33"

Big thanks goes out to Marg G Photography for digging this one out for me.

Thats also Nick riding shotgun with me , or #Captain Natro as he is known around here.

Hopefully i can get it back to Richo this week to get the head tightened down. Maybe throw a few more PSI at it to see how it goes. One thing i did notice from giving it a few good runs on Sunday is that the package isnt working hard at all to make the numbers. It feels like i wants more boost and the 6800 limiter seems too early

    • 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
