and the bay and where ever else i got but any way im still young^^

So I take it you are from Adelaide? since it looks as though it's got SA number plates also.

You say your young, but where abouts have you run an 11 second quater? We haven't had a running 1/4 mile track anywhere near Adelaide for around 5 years. Plus 250kw on a standard turbo (somehow??) in a boat like R33 doesnt really add up to an 11second pass.

I have a book about how to tune i read it and just add some thing else and still runin stock turbo :) took all stuff out of my boot u can do an 11 sec pass with 200rwkw all really need is a good set up

Ok, the "book" you are reffering to is the issue of HPI when they talk about doing an 11 second pass on a RB25 Skyline and how to achieve it.

First thing's first, if you are running the stock turbo with a great tune, good amount of boost and everything else is up to scratch you will be running around 200rwkw if your lucky.

Depending on your mods (ie if your car doesnt have a tune you have no hope) you could be anywhere from 170-200rwkw. So your figure of 250rwkw is WAY out.

Second that HPI issue was a bit missleading (probably possible, but very few cars perfectly setup can do such a thing, way to many variables), most stock turbo

skylines with a tune and good setup crack into 13 second passes. Yours would most likely would be in the 14's, so once again, way off 11 seconds champ.

Not trying to hang shit on you mate, just trying to educate you a bit so you don't go around saying stupid things.

There is not 38 grands worth of car there

I also know what a stock turbo'd R33 is capable of and it definently not 250rwkw and most definently not an 11second 1/4

    • 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
