Looking forward to seeing the beast back in action, with even more grunt this time.

I wanted a Stagea as our family wagon but Kim didn't want anything to do with it, doesn't like the look at all - she is a Toyota girl too. In the end, I got a '03 Caldina GT-Four N. They are surprisingly quick, slight boost increase and it does mid 5sec 0-100 and 13

sec 1/4. But the best thing is the grip level they can generate and the handling, they are quite a bit lighter than a Stagea and the N version gets tricky suspension and diff.

[jet_r31]

caldina sounds good, my mate had one, felt perky, but i bought the stagea to modify a fair bit, have 3540 .82 /ext gate/700cc injectors, has a o44 and undercarsurge tank, water/meth inj, couple of big trans coolers , just saving to get the auto trans built atm, with bigger lock up converter then will bolt turbo on and crank it up...

cheers

Sounds like a quick family wagon in the making - and knowing you it was never in doubt The Caldina is off limits to serious tinkering... for now.

Can't wait to get these on the car and in action! Given the so-so response to a private day in July, it looks like the open street meet on 29 July is the go.

[Madaz]

look good MAtt

[sky30]

Were did you get them matt?

[whatsisname]

Hopefully they deliver a reasonable 60ft given my set-up, Steve.

Andrew, I bought them from A1 Performance in WA. I bought my last set - 275 40 17 MT ET 1 from the same place. Good prices, cheaper than local despite the freight cost - warehouse is Sydney based anyway.

[Munro]

I might see if I can get out to the next street meet with the R35.

I have broken enough gear doing nines in my R33 so will keep that

for circuit racing & keep it in one piece!

_{Hey Munro, update your signature.....}

"2011 Nissan R35 GTR GT Blue - Willall Titanium exhaust, E85 Injectors, Custom COBB tune. 385awkw."

[whatsisname]

Hey John, be good to see you out there, and a 35 on the strip in the flesh! Talking about your 33, Sutto works with me these days.

[Munro]

Yes I caught up with him today. Be good to see a bunch of Skylines out there.

[whatsisname]

Chucked the old 33 on the dyno today to check the tune prior to drag day and see if a few changes made any difference. Ended up with just over 385kW at the rears. Need a bigger or second fuel pump and larger fuel lines and should squeeze 400+. Will have to wait till later in year though. Just got to fit drag radials and I'm ready to go.

[Madaz]

what fuel pumps you running Matt

[whatsisname]

Bosch lift pump - can't remember which one! - and an 044, Sard reg, 910cc Siemens, all lines upgraded, bar the solid ones under the car.

[Madaz]

so you'll be after another 044 ?

[whatsisname]

A second 044 is the plan at this stage mate.

[Madaz]

kool i have 1 i will be taking out of the skyline done like 1000kms

[whatsisname]

Sounds good Steve, I'll let you know when I'm ready to upgrade.

Are you upgrading?
