For us Skyline boys these runs are generally done in 4th as that's the one with the 1:1 ratio. All of mine have been except for this one tuner here in town who chose to do it in 3rd instead because he "didn't want the car going that fast" :D

Like i said, I assume, as im not sure, you did not answer my question, let's just say anything over 110 is useless, your dyno shows about 150 kw at 110....like I said not surw how these things work/read

You dont drive a skyline for practicallity.

That's a nice 4th gear pull by the way...she'd be gradually getting faster and faster just like mine except you get to stay nice and straight lol :D

How does yours go in 1st and 2nd? Do the turbos give a hard kick in 1st or does it feel like that the engine is a bit ahead of the turbos in 1st and it's only in 2nd where the turbos get to play a part of it.

...as mentioned earlier, mine are like that and my old 33 N1's were like that too. But I haven't quite had turbos pull as hard in 3rd and 4th as these new -9's do.

Dafaq?

6k rpm at wot and max boost will see the same power no matter what gear it's in

ahhh makes sense now, cheers mate. Kind of dosent sound as good now tbh hahah

shudda gone -5's then

which would result at lower kw at higher speed would it not, smaller the snail wouls see more power at less speed and lower rev range

The -5's are one size up from the -7's and 9's with totally different A/R's and trims... and are roughly equivelant to 2530's. I imagine them being laggy as f**k around town. They would have less down low and more on offer up top.

Your dreaming if you think you got 380rwkw from gtss on 18psi. Not even on e85

What 1/4 mile did you run? Trap speed?

seriously? I was at the tuner yesterday for 5 hours.. sure it must be a dream loll I just do not brag about my setup on the internet like some of you. I have nothing to prove and couldn't careless if you don't believe me.

but for the people really interesting ( because, yes I actually got 3 pms regarding this) about the -9, yes its possible ot achieve great number.

and here, we do not run E85 ;) we run 94.

The bottom line is that octane comparisons won't help, as Aus and US ratings are measured differently, as well as dyno corrections.....

Taken from wiki: (see wiki for fuel table)

The octane rating shown in Canada and the United States is 4 to 5 points lower than the rating shown elsewhere in the world for the same fuel. See the table in the following section for a comparison.

Australia: "regular" unleaded fuel is 91 RON, "premium" unleaded with 95 RON is widely available, and 98 RON fuel is also reasonably common.

United States: in the US octane rating is displayed in AKI. In the Rocky Mountain (high elevation) states, 85 AKI (90 RON) is the minimum octane, and 91 AKI (95 RON) is the maximum octane available in fuel. The reason for this is that in higher-elevation areas, a typical naturally aspirated engine draws in less air mass per cycle because of the reduced density of the atmosphere.

This directly translates to less fuel and reduced absolute compression in the cylinder, therefore deterring knock. It is safe to fill a carbureted car that normally takes 87 AKI fuel at sea level with 85 AKI fuel in the mountains, but at sea level the fuel may cause damage to the engine. A disadvantage to this strategy is that most turbocharged vehicles are unable to produce full power, even when using the "premium" 91 AKI fuel. In some east coast states, up to 94 AKI (98 RON) is available.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
