I wouldn't have a clue about Datsun 4WD systems. I'll have a look, thanks.

haha sorry i didn't want to insult you since its the first place you check - but wasn't sure what you knew coming from a WRX background. If you haven't done so already, check the fluid, its in your boot on the drivers side, probably behind a peice of carpet. It takes normal ATF if i remember correctly. Hope that helps :(

Also in future, don't be afraid to come ask any of us on the day, most of us don't bite. :(

Depends on a few things...the car shoudl be painted by then, but driving it yesterday it had a real bad miss on boost, so will see how i go for time.

Also what s the date for Sandown, i think i will be in Sydney for a wedding ?!?!?!

But the car will ride again, just sitting in it yesterday has me pumped again...but hanging for an injection of funds so i can finish it all off

it's on the 25th of april I think, but don't quote me on that

I'm trying to get missing under boost sorted out with my car now, hopefully without having to order splitfires in and going down that route.

now to find rails for this Velo...

If you need rails then give me a PM with your number...i went through a fair bit of heartache a whiel ago, and about to do it all again...basically do not buy Momo tracks/rails, and be careful of the other types you buy. Essentially Recaro or have a slose look at the ones you want to make sure they are deisgned the same way as Recaro rails/tracks

thanks Ferni,

I was winging to Jack, Aaron - actually anyone who would listen on Saturday about my issue. ;)

I'll have a look tonight - is it in the same location in R32 GT-R's - as that's what I have.

Regards

Andrew

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
