Lololol nope i just read it incorrectly man! Ignore my last comment haha

If you work on the suspension and tyres etc you should get some power to the ground, mine is gripping up hard in 3rd now which is good :yes:

Yep they sound real good! Love the whistle!

Awesome choice in ECU :D

That will suck if you have to get rid of it mate! Mine will stay in my possession forever if i get the choice... Too much money invested too let her go!

Yeah, suspension wise I've just got the pineapples and adjustable control arms (with the camber almost at zero), and with 275 Adrenalin's (at $700 each!!!) the grip isn't great... Shitloads of fun though. :P

Did your diff make a noticeable difference to traction?

I have always said that there's no point in selling it, and that I would like to track it one day, but if I move I'll be renting out my house here and renting an inner city apartment interstate, and they generally only come with one carpark - the fiance flatly refuses to drive my car since the mods (she drives a mirage :yucky: ) so unfortunately she has to come first. However, as I'm certainly not going to be driving a mirage around I think I've just about convinced her to let us get a 2005(ish) WRX as a compromise we can both live with... lol.

Pfft, what rubbish, I can drive a car slower than a mirage if I wanted too... I just don't want to :laugh:

Mat/Lithium, someone please explain the picture on the previous page? What is this? What does this do? Do I want this? Cos I'm about ready to whip out the soldering iron and put some bubbles on my turbine if it's gonna make me go faster.

Joking... But seriously. I wouldn't even know what to google with that :glare:

Mat didn't know anything about it, I was just being a twat looking for dodgy mods. It was from a thread I happened across a few years ago where someone announced that they had done some neat tricks to improve the performance of their turbo and posted the pic of "bits" soldered/welded to the compressor wheels. It's up there with some of the interesting implementations of Somender Singh's combustion chamber grooves I've seen out there, angle grinder + head = win? :D

Did your diff make a noticeable difference to traction?

I have the same diff, and I would say it definitely does... depending on how you drive :P

I never understood how a proper LSD worked until I got one. But I would definitely say, when driven with grip in mind, it pushes you through corners so nicely. If you turn the car quickly with a heavy foot, you will most definitely lose that traction though :P

Yeah i agree, the Diff makes a big difference and is SO nice to drive on daily!

I am sure I can think of ways to improve on that ;)

Ok OK! Ill weld those extra blades on :ph34r:

Lol that's a go kart track. You need the track to be 2nd and 3rd to really let those ponies gallop.

Yep, was too tight for my setup! BUT the biggest thing was running plumb back gate and low boost, it made it quite doughey!

It was all the "drifting" slowing you down :)

Lol, no drifting! Just HOONING! :woot:

Edit - And Tracey Grimshaw, that is a farking track so STFU!!

Reckon you'd be faster with a stock turbo in there. :P

Go and set a time at Wakefield already farkin!

Hey! The time was quicker than every other RWD on the day ya mongrel haha, even the 35GTR!

And yes if i can complete a lap without rolling it i will set a time in May/June!

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • 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
