Nissan Stagea - Street Sleeper

[DE_GODFATHER]

Hi Boys & Girls!

Well finally got the beast back and thought I would share it with before it goes!

Bought the Car over 18 months ago now, and it was advertised as having 500bhp @ Flywheel, Just to make sure all was running sweet I decided to take the car to Thor Racing based in Kenilworth Nr Coventry.

These guys really are first class and use Dyno Dynamics Packs which bolt onto the hubs of the car to get an accurate power reading. Thor came back to me with a Power figure of 345bhp @ the hubs (Which is just shy of the 500bhp Flywheel figures I was told).

Shortly after I had a New ECU installed and opted for the LINK G4 from Thor Racing and had it all mapped up. Picked the car up and now it was giving a beautiful 445bhp @ the hubs!!!! What can I say Boost Baby!!!!!!

Now the Bad luck begins :-(

Unfortunately one late evening whilst doing a bit of a run the injector on cylinder 4 decided to fail.

Raaaaaaaaatttttttttttttttllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeee Depression!!!!!


I had the car shipped back to Thor Racing, after stripping down the engine they found that one of the rods and hammered itself into the crank . Oh Sh*T.

After much contemplation I decided to bite the bullet and opt for a fully forged RB26 Bottom end built to Thor¡¦s owning tried and tested spec!
Had a few other bits fettled and now the car has a very healthy 457bhp @ the hubs and runs like a bullet train! Boost comes in at 4000rpm and then Boost comes in HARD at 6000rpm Yeah Baby!!!!!

Anyway most of you might have nodded off by now so onto the spec and some pic¡¦s!
