Here she is:

Stag089.jpg

Ohlins coilovers fitted and 18" ROH rims fitted with 245/45 rubber.

Thats the look I was after. Clean but menacing!

Now its time to fit the intercooler kit and wind up boost.

BTW dragged off a guy in an XR6 turbo last night, about midnight (he was asking for it, and I couldn't resist). He had the front mount kit and all. Mine's still stock. Boy did he get real f**ked off when the Stag pulled away from him. :)

I backed off at 70kph and returned to the legal 60kph ... he kept it planted and tore off down Port Road giving me 'the finger' and doing well over 100kph! :D

Just had to be in front no matter what the cost.

XR6 turbo's come stock with a front mount. I dare say it was probably stockie.. although I'm not pro-ford vehicles normally, those XR6's are wicked tuned and on boost... a stock stag wouldn't have a chance.

Still nice ride mate... I think it looks great.

My Stag is stock. :thumbsup: Prob just a shit driver!

query - why those particular Roh 18" mags?

hopefully see it in the flesh on the cruise.....

Those ROH mags became available from a member here ... so I scooped them up.

Those ROH mags came to as close to what I was looking for, without forking out over $2K

XR6= SLOW

STAG= fast and good looking lol

btw. drag racing is dangerous lol but funny wen u see the look on there faces like how did i lose haha

True. I could have just said 'no' and ignored the prick. But he was tailgating me up West Terrace towards Port Road. He shot past me as we got to Port Road but got caught at the lights. I only took the game as far as 70 kph and backed off, he didn't. I didn't encourage him, as he was driving like a dickhead in the first place. I just took the opportunity to put him in his place.

I don't promote drag racing in traffic, and this is one of the rare times I let the hoon outta me. There is no excuse, but the outcome was fun anyway.

I've drag raced plenty of times before, so my RT would have been a tad better than his. :D

Im fairly familiar with a stock and a 310rwkw xr6t ute and im pretty sure if you raced anywhere past 90-100 he would have caught you and left you for dead. On the strip is where the true potential of a car comes out, Some car's can have a menacing lead until the last 150m of the track and then get eaten. Racing to only 70kph and on the street certainly doesn't proove anything.

Good choice with the ohlins.

from my experience they're gut less of the line... i used to have no problem taking 1 in a completely stock 33, but from 60 no chance...

Thats true, my mates is soooooooooooo slow off the line, With my mates XR even if im doing shit gear change Im allways a good car length ahead from Launch, soon as I hit 80 then its a different story :laughing-smiley-014:

Not a bad look, but kind of agree the 17s looked a little better IMO.

With the XR6, was it a BA? I'm guessing so, and it was probably the 4sp auto so no wonder you beat him to 70kph. If it was BF with 6sp auto and even mild tune, seeya! Driving my old man's 272rwkw XR6t with 4sp auto, it could really do with the shorter first gear like my mates stock BF.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.

      As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers.

      Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
