I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's the other way round mate.

Who's telling you this? The seller?

-9s are An updated version of the -7s, pretty much the same response as the -7s but flow a fair amount more. -9s on the same set up make more than the -7s etc...

i spoke with DVS Jez, and a few other ppl they will make the same power diff is, the -7s have more top end and the -9s have a bit more down low, but in the end they will both do the same job.

also ill be getting a platnum pro plugin for her.

yea fair enough, i really thought it was the other way round though. -9s being slightly bigger but better in design, therefore only a tiny bit more lag than the -7s but more top end..

i was fairly certain the -7s were the smallest upgrade turbos you could buy, but there is so much confusion around these turbos that i wouldnt be suprised if i had it wrong haha..

Wedge you know abit about this dont you?

The only difference between them that i can find was the exhaust wheel 1 was like 3mm bigger then the other or somehting like that. But i cant wait 3 weeks for -9s anyway so -7s will have to do im over all teh waiting and f**king around, just want it to run so i can enjoy the car.

yea fair enough mate.

just be easy on the clutch when you get it back, its generally the weakest part of the car from stock. and it is advisted when going with bigger turbos to upgrade it etc..

you doing anything else bar turbos and computer?

I'm not 100% sure but i believe the exhaust housing is slightly different design on the -9 too.

-7's = r34 n1 turbos

-9's ARE HKS GTSS turbos

The graphs i looked at when researching turbos showed <150rpm difference between the two (-9's been slightly worse), but the -9's usually had the better top end (10-15kw's), however this is highly dependent on supporting mods and i couldn't find any back to back comparisons (who's going to waste 2.5k to go from 7's to 9's unless the've blown a turbo)

TBH throw 20-24psi through either of them and your going to be making ~330awkw and absolutly exstatic. You can't really be disappointed with that.

Good stuff - that means all three of us a runing platniums.

all this talk of turbos is making me very keen for the next stage on mine..

seriously going to have to consider E85 i think.. have seen results with a similar planned setup as mine making 370awkw!

will be hard to pass that potential up i think..

Yep - I've been saying for a while i rekon it would be possible to crack 400awkw with E85 with 9's.

Someones 34nur in melburne made 379awkw with 7's (stock n1's) and E85 recently.

Yea I reckon 400 would be too much for those turbos... Could probably get a dyno to read it, but how accurate?...

I'm pretty sure both run out of puff around 22-24psi?...which would restrict huge top end power etc...

yea fair enough mate.

Yep, going to do mid pipe on my exhaust since the cat back is 3 and a half inch and so are the dumps but has the stock mid pipe, also needs a new clutch as mine is almost shagged, will do injectors and maybe fuel pump with the ECU, then after i have it all sorted in a year or so i may put a big single on it when i get another car as a daily, and go for massive power since the engine is built for it.

ohh and i hope everyone has taken the restrictor out of the side of the stock air box to, it just pops out 2 clips just use a flat head screwdriver, will double the air into the box, i can now hear my car sucking in that sweet sweet air as i thunder down the roads lol.

    • 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  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
