It's only posted an 11.8 as I always do it with full trim (including stereo), so i'm pulling over 2 tonnes down the strip.

It has no traction in first.

Or second.

And when the track cools, sometimes not in third.

Cross the finish doing 220 which should be good for a 10 second pass. I just need different wheels to capacitate slicks, which I refuse to do as it is a waste of money.

how many gearboxes have u gone through? i broke mine first pass with 522hp (has made 605hp before, which would probably be about 700hp on a hub type dyno, going by the local dynos anyway) and threw in a dogbox and ran a 11.3 @ 125mph. I highly doubt 220kmh at end of strip, the drag calculator which is pretty damn accurate reckons u would need 650rwkw to run that speed and thats good for 9's. 2 tonne and 500kw is around 125mph.

I'll see if I still have a slip lying around.

According to the drag calculator:

Weight 2000kg, time = 11.8 means I need 530.4HP

For 800 at engine, ET is 10.3

Engine Motor Horsepower Estimate Calculator - Elapsed Time ET

Automobile Car Truck Motorcycle

Quarter Mile Run Or Drag Race

Note: This is a rough estimate of engine horsepower.

Using the

Engine Motor Horsepower Estimate Calculator - Trap Speed

To cross at 220km/h they calculate I need 870HP at the fly.

Note: This is a rough estimate of engine horsepower.

It does state 650kW, but they are talking ENGINE, not wheel power.

And still have factory gearbox.

WoW...simply amazing,I remember this stag when I join this group but it got to a level far up of anything I've seen or imagine....the only thing that can say(that my envy allows me to say) is congratulations you built the real heck of a ride...

Cheers for the comments. I am just organising the photos for the build thread. Do you guys want it from the start, or just the last lot that finished with what I have now?

It was factory --> fully forged + stereo 1 --> added T04z --> stereo 2 --> painted --> current motor. DO you want all 3 years worth, or just the last (stereo 2 --> painted --> current motor)?

Whatever you can be bothered to post up i reckon we'd be happy with!

Hi,

Here are a couple of photos of my 2002 Stagea 250RS. These were taken 10 days ago on the "Railway straight" of the Hamilton 400 V8 track. The car has 19" ZU2 mags that look pretty trick. I'll take some more photos and add them on the weekend.

Nice shots man... but who is the try-hard in the driver's seat with shades on at night???

I like it Nick... but that shot makes me feel like a dentist working on a molar. :)

ahaha! i tell the little one it'll gobble her up if she's not careful!

i was thinking the same thing. but they're fantastic shots though. i wish i had the capability to shoot like that.

hahah actually its the shadow from the rear-view mirror across my eyes.

unless you mean the bonnet shots, then thats me lol

Yep. The bonnet shots... and I figured it was you... those lights can get bright, eh? :ninja:

    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
    • Good to see you followed your heart, got your dream car and have it pretty well sorted out now. I think anyone can get caught out with a seller not being 100% honest about a cars problems. Can relate to all the electrical issues, had similar issues with my first car (mk2 escort) ages ago
    • I just bought the Nexus S3 for my gtt, haven’t installed it yet as I’m collecting parts to do everything at once…so far spent $14,000 The Nexus is nearly future proof
