guys,

was wondering-how bad would it be to have the line parked in the drive in for say 3 hrs?i mean, aside from the exhaust, do your lines eat a lotta fuel idling there??

i used to take my old shit box over but with the line, i am not sure...

what?

unless your battery is completely shit the bed. you will not need to leave your car idling through a movie... maybe give it a quick crank half way through....

if your really that scared, Supercheap auto sell jump starters for like $40.... cheap cheap.

I dont know what to say.........

lol @ allblitz

you want to idle it for 3 hours and you're just worried about the fuel?

We start up the car a few times during a movie, purely to heat up the cabin, but its not on for long. The radio really doesn't use much of the battery.. so unless you want to put on 50,000 neon lights and the rest of your accessories you really don't need to run the car the whole time.

I think its time to ban people for being daft.

lol

Drive in movies = sit in car and watch movie on screen = soundtrack broadcast on radio = need radio to watch movie.

you don't need to idle unless you have 11ty billion jiggawatts of subs to power. Just crank and idle for about 5 mins in the middle of the moovie and you should be OK. That's providing you have a good battery. If not, take a portable radio and some batteries :)

    • 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.
