i got the car stock as a rock except for a pod filter...

car ran absoultally perfect...

now everything ive done is cut/bridged out that factory boost controller that gives extra boost

at 4,500rpm.so i havent turned up the boost other then that mod.it had a stock cooler and it was starting to ping etc so i put on a front mount cooler pinging went away... then probally about this time i think its my coils are breaking up and doing weird arse machine gun shots some times when im giving it all hell..now ive just put on a 3 inch turbo back exhaust,fmic,pod ,atmo bov,

im still getting this what i think is the coils playing up but also im getting some pinging as well ive always run 98 octane fuel...what should i do next..i want it back to running sweet and how it should with all these mods if i gotta spend some dollors i dont mind any help much appreciated...

Best to change the coils this might smoothen things up as well as check or afr's might help in the pinging area

had the exact same problem!

check plugs, coils etc. if problem still persists, see your local dyno tuner. That was my scenario....did some runs, ran a fuel flow test etc. I had wrong sparks in, timing was off and discovered the pump was lazy. Replaced sparks and under tuned the car to be safe until I go back and install a walbro. currently organising an arc sidemount to replace the standard one before I go back for the walbro pump and tune. :)

on another topic, I first witnessed the change in skylines with different climates...goes so much harder in the cold :( turbos and husky's have much in common.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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
