Did you put your car on a 4wd dyno? That usually shows a lower figure than in 2wd mode. I can understand your frustration but let me tell you this, don't take dyno figures as gospel, they are a tunin

Nothing I haven't told him on 3 occasions now since Aug 2010, even earlier it think. So basically what you are telling us is that 6 months down the track. You haven't taken it to the track yet? O

MAJOR THREAD BUMP :action-smiley-069:

i am in the quest of removing my HKS GTRS's finally - after deliberating for a loooong time, so i skimmed thru this thread which really provides some great reading & insight from others. they are just awful on a 2.6 to put it simple - i had enough!!!

paul - u are right that post no.7 by Gav sums it up as u mentioned on the UK forum.

with my 2.6, it is a built engine with tomei poncams (260's / 9.15mm lift) but i am a little undecided whether i would be happy with -9s (330rwkw) or -5s (360rwkw+). i'd like to know if anyone can share an overlay of these 2 snails, possibly? from my own due diligence, we are only talking a difference ~ 500rpm in low end boost response...

The following dyno graph tells most of the story, with the blue line being the GT-RS setup and the red line being the -5 setup:

#60 ADM DATSUN 2600: Coming from a pair of RSs, I'd point you in the direct of the -5s. Stepping down to the -9s I think you'd find the mid-to-top end to be... flat (putting it nicely). I personally love the -9s, especially for a streeter, however as you went for the larger HKS set-up from the get go I figure it's safe to assume that it's not factory like response that concerns you. If you want a quote on either drop me a line.

thanks for the advice - much appreciated.

i think u are right that i'd find -9s a bit boring as ive always liked the top end delivery BUT ive also thought to myself, maybe i need to enjoy the car for what it is as ive had my fair share of powerhouse donks. anyway, this is my personal dilemma :)

i'll pm u today.

A friend of mine has a -10 GTR with 400kw, states hes been taken in 370kw -5 cars which make him say WOW.

He reckons the haul of the midrange is very notable and better than the darth vader shuffle.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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
