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.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
