I hate coming into the qld section, I feel soooooo homesick, still miss all of you so much.......................

I have my 30th bday coming up and am doing nothing for it, well instead of having a party I'm going to a skidpan in July, cant afford to do both.

Everyone I know is in Brissie anyway, sif they'd all drive up to rocky!

yeah, know the being far away thing.. by the time I drive 80 mins to bris, and another 80mins back, for something that may only be 2 hours long - kind of not worth it.

30 eh? you old man you! that makes you AS OLD AS ME.. actually, not quite, few months less..

how is the stagea rocking along?

Yeap it's ok, I sooo wish I could afford a Z32 afm + a full retune at matty spry........................... just dreamin, but still even in the cut down tune it currently has, it still shames most thing up here, even wrx's and man rocky has about a billion of them :teehee:

There is a guy who bought a stagea for $10k who picked it up on Sunday and is driving it back here, so I wont be the only stagea in CQ anymore, not that I was anyway, there was another S1 floating around, and when I had mine in for a service, he came in and got a wheel alignment done........... but I havent seen it in the flesh myself so to speak.

it was never proven!!

I just bought an LS400, so I will at least have the car to go with it ... I can sell all sorts of good drugs using that.

wanna buy a pulsar? does skids..

2 door or 4 door? price?

2 door or 4 door? price?

they're all 4 door? the 2 door is sorta the SC400 (soarer), but not really.. price: $8k? :teehee: like joshies old one, except less f**ked/undercoated/saggy. It even comes with a medical kit and spanners! ha

the question is, ska, how well does the stag skid? :teehee:

Bloody AWESOME! in the wet I can hang it out and keep it out for ~10 secs before the awd finnally brings it back, and how awesome is that, I go from nearly 90 degrees side on, right back to straight and no kickback slewing from side to side down the street.

But with a better tune i reckon I could get it past the 90 degrees and bring it back :P

cool.. so you'll be able to have your own 2 car stagea cruises, and maybe even produce little baby stageas if they really get along :teehee:

hmmm.. tune.. stock tune ftw!

yeah stock tune for good fuel economy...................

$8k for a pulsa, pffft tell him he dreamin!

yeah.. that's the shitty thing.. to save money, you gotta spend money..

I had my powerfc all sitting here, then decided 'nah, i need some money, plenty of them around'.. suddenly they're discontinued and now cost $1500.. ouch. My friggin pulsar isn't even worth $1500 !

bahaha that's funny as, i can just imagine that happening! :teehee:

Yeah and even funnier, when the cops drive by and stop you and ask if i had just seen a "sports car" doing skids, I tell them I saw a white commodore doing skids just a second ago, he went that-a-way officer, and off they go, cause i drive a slow volvo, it doesnt skid at all :P

The wieght of the rear of the stagea is what keeps the backend out so long, you just need to get enough momentum into the rear end, chuck it out and it seems to just hang out there for aaaaages, funny but normally all 4 wheels are spinning too, so the front end does weird things when the rear end is out.........

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
