Dash instruments look great.

actual Dash loods good too.. has it been painted black?

Interior retrim is not what I'd do but at least it's new..

Jnr32r,

Im a drag person myself wanna get my 11second pass , though I may take it to a track day as yet dont know .

GTST

Yeah looks pretty standard under there ceptin for the shinny bits ,its a 93 model there just the plates I got from the rta ,I had a laugh about that too,yes dash is painted black as is most of the trim barring the inserts and seats ,I went with the red and black because there are so many others out there that have gone with the tans and whites and others like beige I wanted this to look fairly standard but neat and along the lines of the car as there not a great deal of red's i got to choose from that was fairly close to the colour of the car and wanted a standard material as well (I recon leather sweats to much and I hate cleaning windows I've had leather trim b4) and it keeps in contrast with the dash as well being red and black.Gee is it worth that much I was gonna sell it for less :huh: and thanks it was alot of work

Sleepyboi

Hi GoldZilla

Its now a 2.1 ltr been bored 40thou or 79mm and has an rb25 crank which makes it 2108cc and thanks for the complement

Peter

That's awesome considering the displacement has only increased by 100cc - obviously you've put a lot of time and thought into the modification process!

All credit to you, you deserve it.

Hi Roy

Yes, still useing the hks 40mm external wastegate on the hks manifold,I'm useing a hks exhaust I think its called a hypermax or something cant get my fat head far enough under the car to read it properly. I have a custom front pipe thats 3" with the external wastegate plumbed back into the exhaust just b4 a catco highflow cat the stainless steel barrel type bought it of BATMBL then its 3.5" through to the resinator and 4' to the barrel muffler

Hi GoldZilla

Thanks mate,my goal with this setup was in trying to get the lag time down which I think I've succeded with to an extent, which would there for bring the boost on earlier, and there would bring on the power earlier and give me a broader power base to work with.The turbo being a gt3040r is a big turbo on an rb20 at the best of times but it also has the .82 exhaust housing which I new would give me the higher end power, this is where all the porting of the head and flow honing of the cast manifold and both hot and cold sides of the turbo has helped to acheive this as it starts in positive vacume at around 2000rpm

Cheers Peter

    • 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.
