GoldZilla

I've got 245x40x18 on my car, but my wheels are 18x8+30 Skyline V35 wheels. The fronts are fine, but I had to get the guards rolled at the rear as there was a little bit of scrubbing.

lol Someone's put a bit too much thought into this... Should we ALL be scared of you, Alan?

Stagea + motorbike rack, got overhang? Nice shots, Chris!

Towards the lesbos? Cover yourself in honey, Sammeh!!!

Agreed, as long as your shocks are in good working order (especially if they're brand new replacements with original rates), then the best change you can make to keeping that handling is the upgraded sway bars.

Hahaha, it's just a shame they're well past their use-by date!!! It still puzzles me seeing those badges on the Mitsubissan EvoZilla

Apparently the couch is too big for the wagon, Tom. BUT I don't get hassled by cops. EVAH!!!

Couldn't handle the power, so settled for a Legume? just kidding!

Wish mine was that kinda stock, Mitch.

I think suspension too - best bang for buck for sure!

Correction, it is Tomei who make RB25 crate engines, but Brad's one was a Jun motor. Link to Tomei crate engines: http://powerplayimports.com/index.php?page...t&cat_id=71

They (or Tomei, I can't remember now) do make RB25 engines, but not sure what capacity they are. Brad had converted his to RB26DETT anyway, probably one of very few in the country.

186 Holden block + 221 Falcon crank + BMW rods + Arias pistons = a very strange combination!!! I bet those BMW rods were tough though!

...and then some! Brad's car had a Jun 2.7l at one stage!!!

Nope, the only moving it was doing was back into the workshop at the end of the working day. So, no, unfortunately it wasn't on the hoist, Duncan.

Ummmmmmmmm...

Adam, we'll grab the sofa bed off you, but just need to organise transport for it. Are you in a hurry to get rid of it?

Spotted a gunmetal grey s1 R33 today on Old Windsor Road in Northmead while I was waiting to exit the Shell/McDonalds/KFC car park, around 2 or 2.30pm

Alan, setting up a group buy is a great idea, but if you can get at least some of the details sorted beforehand (such as a likely prediction on the saving off RRP, etc.), then you might build up some more interest. Also, even more interest could be gained if you post it in a general section so all SAU members can benefit, not just us Stagea boys and girls... PM sent.

Best place to start modding is the exhaust (if it's not already done), as per usual. The PFC will replace the need for an SAFC, as it will handle fuel, timing, etc. all within the PFC itself. If you want to get rid of your AFMs, then get the D-Jetro version of the PowerFC. The latest issue of High Performance Imports magazine has a few articles on the best way to get the max out of a GT-R, so this should easily apply to your 260RS.

Spotted Duncan's car this afternoon in Castle Hill.

What time are you guys flying in?

The hand controller is good to have to keep an eye on your vitals of the engine - it can display Knock levels, injector duty cycle, engine revs, road speed, timing, various temps, etc. If your car isn't running right, it's a good device to check quickly to see if any of those things are factors in it not performing properly.

Yep, Adam, the R32/R33 GR-R PowerFC is the one you'll want for the 260RS. Keep the Profec B, apparently it's better than the Apex'i boost controller that plugs into the PFC. It's a separate unit anyway, so seeing as you've already got the Profec B, you might as well use it with the PFC. I've got a PFC in my car (mine was converted to manual before I bought it) and will be adding a boost controller soon, and I've been advised from quite a nfew workshops that the GReddy unit is the way to go!

Brendo, now that you've got the original cams out of the engine, is there any chance you could have them measured up for lift and duration? I've heard from a few different workshops that they think the Stagea cams are different to R33 Skyline ones, so I'd like to know if this is indeed true. Nice work on getting the power and torque up to a very enjoyable level!
