Lovin the TE37's - but they're a bitch to keep clean. Damn bendix ultimates :)

same as me.. but mine are bronze so its a bit easier to keep em clean.. and ive got bendix ultimates as well.. damn dust

that look very very low!! any problems driving around?

nice one mate!

Besides the fact it scrapes up the driveway in that picture, and cant get over ANY speed bump in Victoria..

Nup! No issues at all lollllllllll... :)

But I wouldn't have it any other way.. :mellow:

Thanks,

Abu

Nice looking car man. What coilovers are you running and how stiff are they. Are your rims the 18/8.5+35 front and 18/9.5+38 rear? If so they are the same as mine, very cool.

Thanks man.

I am running TEIN Flex coilover's, and there fairly stiff at the front, but when I slide it hard with someone in the back the rear tires touch the arch a little.

I haven't stiffened the rear ones up yet though, there running low damper but will do it this weekend.

Ride's awesome though, really happy with the ride.

Nah my rims are 17" man, but if you ever want to sell your 18's let me know as I am keep to go to 18's. :D

Thanks,

Just took car for drive, mine are scrubbing bad at front.

Any dips in the road and then you hear a creeking noise coming from the fronts.

Not sure if its scrubbing or perhaps the springs/shocks? as it seems to only come from the front right?

Guess its rolling lip on the weekend ~_~

think somethings wrong there mate, definitely shouldnt be scraping like that, so yeh could be shocks or something, i was running the rears on the front which are 9" +30 (which is another 12mm further out then the 8"s) and i didnt have any issue with scraping even then, although it was very close.

How low is that sitting man?

Coilovers? chopped springs?

nice bro

I agree with everyone else. That 32 sits awesome mate. Id love to go that low but on my coilovers its bumpy as fark! Its also probably one of the first cars iv liked 3 spoke wheels on. Looks decent :rofl:

Thanks man!

Totally agree with you there on the tri spokes lol

Thanks,

Abu

i think its just my shock/spring setup.

The stiffness isnt that much different from stock, so its a comfortable ride but dips in road it scrubs a little.

It isnt that low as you can see :S

    • 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
