Ok - I find it all interesting but it looks like he is close to having what he wants a responsive non GTR acting motor aka V8 type response.

let the poor girl free let her breathe and rev like god intended. It is a thing of beauty.

OR I HAVE AN IDEA - There is a Super Charged RB32 here in nz somewhere. Give that a go.

haha, Pete is happy, because Pete is getting close to what PETE wants :yes::wub:

Hold on , SUPER CHARGED I want one of those :banana:

RB32DERT. That should hopefully keep pete happy.

I understand what you blokes are saying and I love the sound of and feel of my car when it was high in the rev range BUT to use it as a DD and get to hear it, you would be in 1st gear all day or in jail :)

I will have lots of revs to play with that I can use on a daily basis .

This thread has gotten so large people will think it's a legit thread for people to post asking for predictions.

Guys my -7's is going on a flex tune soon.

How much power will it make?

Best daily is one that doesn't come on boost till 4k. Putter around all day under boost, no attention, no headaches

You can putter around if you do not extend the right foot as long as it is not too noisy and when you want to use the response push it when it is appropriate :)

Car will go in next week sometime :cheers:

Should read

:D:D:D

You have to excuse me if I do not get the humor ,I am an old man and of course you need to REV it to get it going, but mine , even now, not so much ?

I remember this car as a 26 when I needed to get the passengers out to help push it for a step hill start, it was so funny watching them scurrying to try to get back in :)

What ever happened to throttle control? Don't want to come on song, don't put your foot down. It isn't binary made up of 0's and 1's, throttle wide open or shut, mashed into the carpet or off it.

I just don't understand the logic of why you want all that torque and power down low.

Maybe its because I drove a car with a high stall for so long and loved the fact that for everyday duties it was lazy and much nicer and easier to drive compare to before the converter went in. Similar to changing from stock to -5s which made the car nicer to drive daily.

I suppose I don't like setups that are surgy and responsive that makes for a nervous and less livable drive for daily duties, for me anyway.

    • 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.
