[EDIT] I said pretty much wha SK said above but no where near as good ;) So ill leave it at that.

Plus dont forget it comes down to the drivers ability also.

EG: A friend of mine went to calder and on one night could only muster a 13.4 1/4mile time after 3 or so runs, gave it to his Mechanic with a little bit more experience and reeled off a 12.6 on his 1st pass, thus proving drivers also have alot to do with it.

But going by other figures, times and praise, we all know who is in the lead of this 'race'...

Ok i will just say this.

If i had a Two totally stock GTR's (same model and all things being equal ie same condition, km's ect)

and i gave one stock GTR + $30k to Eric/hypertec

and the other stock GTR + $30k to Ben/Racepace

and i gave the exact same directions to both workshops (how they go about preping the car is up to them), I know who would produce the best results without any question.

Do you Ross? How much work have you personally had done by Eric? In fact, how much work have you had Ben done on your car?? ;)

Yeah but Ferni - your not really comparing apples with apples mate.

The Gibson R32 didn't have an RB31DET in it making 500rwkw's.

And again it's a little hard to compare most Racepace cars with Hypertech cars. From most cars I have seen at Hypertech they have been built to "Targa Spec". Now I doubt there is much hope that the Whites Targa winning GTR would run under 1.20 at Sandown. Benno is well known for his club / street GTR's. I don't know if he's ever tried to get the max out of a car built for Traga Spec and if so how it compares to one of Eric's.

I also don't know if Eric has tried to build a single turbo club track GTR. I really hope to get Eric down to one of our club meetings one night as I'd personally love to hear about the engineering of the Gibson cars. Maybe he can answer some questions on street GTR's there.

tru ben and eric have diffrent backgrounds (street and track) i think eric has a R33 GTR....in the work shop that is his that makes 430kw street spec, twin low mount turbos an still a RB26....do you have to be a member to go to a club meeting? (not a member yet but soon too be

That's a contest on who can buy the parts the cheapest.:(

Hey,

That 430 kw dyno sheet was done on 4wd dyno or 2wd?

And check Ice Performance out, as Leewah said G and Nige'll look after you, Nigel did good job of service my car and dynoing, Nige is top bloke to talk to...

It's your money you choose who to go.

I'm not one to argue with SK, but i would of assumed gibsons qualifying full slicks would of been a better tyre than todays semi slicks?

Plus theres the proffesional driver part.

How much did the gibson 32 weigh? even with the extra ballest im guessing less than the racepace GTR...

but point taken about the no limits thing.

SK: what do you have to say about that dyno graph above? :(

I would love to Jack, but this is not the place, nor is there a reason for it.

Eric and Hypertech are being criticized in public where they are not even present or have no chronies pushing their agenda.

We don't want to return the favour and provide the WA folk with all the entertainment, do we...? :(

If someone is geniunely interested in how to read a graph, they can start another thread without any references to the workshop.

This thread is a farkin waste of time lenbac if you want to try hypertech then go for it, so sick of people asking which is better there are only a few good workshops in melb

and both mentioned are on those lists.

I know whewre my car is going once the good motor is built :D

To be honest, I think you get what you pay for unless you are capable of doing it yourself. Now I have joked about paying 30K for a Racepace tune, but on inspecting the receipts it appears I have paid for a Racepace tune and 12K of racepace engine with Argo's.

That's a whole lot of peace of mind and a very good feeling.

    • Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
    • You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.
    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again
