Thanks man

Yeah didn't get much of a chance to take many pictures, plan was to take heaps but ended up driving most of the day

I reckon it needs spacers to get a better fit but cbf with spacers so I am just going to slam it and try and keep it legal height. Should look a lot better when its lowered

Cheers Chris. Yep original paint colour. The Series 2 Gunmetal (KN6 from memory) is slightly darker or a different/ more pearl or something. The front of the car has been resprayed though as it had a dodgy front bumper paint blend in the bonnet. Mic @ Micolour fixed that up for me though. Looking at some new rims so it may look a little different soon.

Is it back on the road Al!?

looking good, man it must be nice to have it all sorted... you will have to take me for a spin :(

Yep Nick, all sorted and back in force :D

Feels awesome on the road and could not be happier with the package; 325rwkw with full boost by 3000rpm :P

Next time we meet up, just come and ask for a spin, but best place would probably be at the next DECA. So disappointed that DECA masters has been cancelled :D

325rwkw and full boost by 3000rpm... f%#k me... you must have shares in a tire company;) in gear acceleration must be pretty special... I bet it feels good on the road with the 3L, so easy to drive hey

yeah sad about deca! I might go on the cruise planned for the 28th

heres are some of my brother old skyline which was done by iq auto,, but to bad he sold it to guy that came down from qlds

it got ba headlights

This car was parked close to my house (B**** Cls., Delahey). Always wondered if he was on SAU and what happened to it, as i hadn't seen it for a while.

Exactly Nick! Very easy to drive and VERY tractable on low boost (315rwkw :cool:), also get better fuel economy: 410km/45ltrs.

The boost switch only gives a 15rwkw peak power differance, but the low/mid power and torque increase is just insane and breaks traction in 3th, using in-gear acceleration (ie: use 3rd gear, cruise at 70km, then stomp the accerator: instant loss of traction :down:).

Gear acceleration is just awesome, even fifth gear feels like an acceleration gear.

Of course someone from QLD bought it.

Bright paint, huge kit. All they need now is the silly numberplates no one can understand :dry:

    • 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.
