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:

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
