Hey guys just wondering what is the key to get more low down responce eg torque/power i know high up everyone says of do the basics get the breathing happening etc but by doing this dont you reduce back presure which will then compromise on the low down responce ??? could be wrong but just wondering if their are any mods which are likely to yeild more low down responce.

thanks in advanced.

Option 1 - Add a torque converter = more torque down low.

Option 2 - Cubic inches = torque, go the RB30 route

Option 3 - Change your gear ratios or Diff ratio.

Or an easier but even stupider option, get a nice big v8 say a 350chev and twin turbo that (heard there is a kit out) and wham you have a twin turbo skyline with a hella lot of torque, would push way over 600nm of torque at the fw

:cheers:

cheers guys and coupe-this i dont think i will be taking that road :P but sounds nice hehe.

Seriously certain cams might give u a little lift in torque but that would most likely be in the higher rev range say 2500 - 4000rpm, depending on the lift of the cams, sadly the smaller the engine, the less torque, be glad u dont own a wrx as i have heard they arent anything until boost comes on :S

it all comes down to money as per usual, rb30dett? vq30dett?(300zx engine?)

I've got an old v8, and the power is totally different, just try to keep the revs up ?

    • 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
