Hi Guys, posted this in the suspension section, but it probably belongs here more....

I have a little ongoing test for the Stagea handling improvements. One of my heighbours has a Forrester GT manual (exhaust & boost), we both leave for work at similar times and travel the local winding road which has 15 corners in 1 km. When I first got the Stagea I couldn't keep up, he would gradually get away no matter how hard I pushed. When I put the stabiliser bars on I could just hang on, with a bit of effort. He was impressed. I upped the boost last week (to 0.7 bar) and I could then pull up to him on acceleration between the corners. This morning, with the Bilsteins in, he was slowing me up in some of the corners. He was mightly impressed.

Next week, if we meet up, I will have the rear Bilsteins in and the A/F ratios tuned, so I will lead for the first time and see if he can keep up.

:P

Ah well, another peed off neighbour, the Forrester just can't keep up anymore! I waited for him this morning at the end of the usual run through the corners. The first thing he said was, "even the farken exhaust is still farken standard". Thinking about the difference it made to his Forrester.... "What's it going to be farken like when you get a farken big one?"

I think that means he is impressed: :)

PS; every sentence had at least 2 profanities. :(

Hahahaha, well done SK, I wish I was there to see his face :(

Near my place I see a silver GT Forester in the mornings, and she (female driver) always gives it a squirt when she passes me. But where we usually met is about a 1 min drive from my place and the Stagea is still stone cold... That means I have to restrain myself and not put the foot down :)

One day the timing will be right, and she'll feel the wraith of the straight six !! LOL

Muhuhaha.

I got an odd look from a wrx wagon the other day, the guy just stared me down while he drove past. Didn't worry me though, i don't have to drive a car with an engine derived from Nazi Germany

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.

      yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.

      I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
