Congrats to Dave for your blistering 617rwkw run... which he followed up the next day with a 593awkw run.

He took out the Tough as nails, outright power and AWD dyno trophies at Melbourne Autosalon this year.

The dyno runs were pretty consistent, with most cars getting around what they've recorded on other dyno's.

Also of special note, the Osman's $300,000 yellow bathtub recorded a mind boggling 102awkw.

Now all we need is a scan of Leewah's Dyno sheet printout.

More details and discussion in the VIC section.

617 at rears (hence rwkw) and 593 at all fours (hence awkw), think they removed the driveshaft on the front or something to cut off power to the front wheels.

He also has a torque splitter which could have helped.

Thanks for your comments peoples. It was a long road to getting stupid numbers out of the car without it blowing itself to kingdom come.

I haven't scanned the dyno sheet yet but will when I get some time quiet time at home. Should have it up soon.

We'll go racing soon, prob early May once we make sure the car and engine can sustain these power levels for a few runs.

    • 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
