Better pushrods is an oxymoron.

For tyres I would see what sort of money you can get Federal EVOs for. Or just use the 595s and get them hot, Noel used them back in the day and they performed well after a large burnout! Also Theo Woolett ran a 9 on them in his GTR so they cant be all bad!

But in all seriousness 90/10 shocks is what you really need. When I first upgraded the turbo in my old 32 I had no traction at all, if I went to pass someone on the highway it would put on a smoke show! But i set up my subframe bushed for squat and got the shockies set up to keep the weight down over the rear and the problem was solved.

In fact I wager that even with bigger, better street tyres you wont get much of a result until the suspension is addressed

nik, some sound advice here.

you will probably find you get more traction if you swap out your coil overs and put your standard struts in.

I don't have standard struts :(, car came with coilovers.

ur skatin everywhere :woot:

Yer it's slippery as hitters hair style, but that gives you an idea of what I'm dealing with (which I'm sure any guys with big power can relate to [even if mine dosent have big power the stall makes it feel like it dows])

:/ Seriously bro. Buy a Maxima.

LOL (and it continues)

Yer I'm regretting not going the 90/10s like I wanted to. Then everyone was like "no no get coilovers and just soften them up youll hate 90/10s" :dry:

coilovers are too hard for ya - as Luke mentioned struts TWTGO

Lawl. Take your car against the abomination at drags :P I know that you said you couldn't be there, but I can drive her :P

I could do that... or I could take my car with me and try it out on the lovely new range they just finished on my way to where I am going... I am yet to see the abomination and I am looking forward to it.

    • 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
