heres a couple of updated pics of my front end.

i finaly got myself a set of series 3 xennon lights, they just make the front end that much nicer.

got a pair of border carbon side ducts for the front bar

while doing this i thort it would b a good idea to move the oil cooler (previous owner had it lying flat under the car) i moved it to the drivers side duct. has resulted in 10* cooler oil temps

do you have to cut your bar to fit those ducts in? also what BOVs are you running chris? it didnt look like i could fit my cooler core in there with standard BOVs

yeh u have to cut a fair bit off, i just started small n kept cutting small parts off untill i got perfect fit. it realy wasnt that hard to do.

ive got a trust type r bov, no way could u do it with stock valves, well my size cooler anyway

yeah thats what i figured. i remember when i was looking at the trust coolers, they said you could only use them if you had their bov and i always wondered why until i actually went to put mine in lol

btw car looks tough man, series 3 lights are teh sex!

    • 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
