well thats how i bought the car and as soon as i got the money there will be a new motors and turbos in the ebgine bay

anyways thx pual i really apprecate the time u put in to this, after i get my car back (4week bein painted again coz wasnt done rite the first time) i will try taking the pods off, and if ur rite i will get u a slab!

thx buddy

im guessing the olive has been removed from it to get 14.5 psi, i have done this aswell on my 33 gtr and noticed the same thing,its pretty sucky to notice theres shit all boost when someone pulls up next to you.I have noticed it will cut the boost under load only, once boost is down you have to turn the car off then on to get boost again.try putting it in 3rd gear and load the car from low revs(it should cut out the boost). its taken a bit of time for me to work it out but im pretty sure you have the exact same problem.

Blame magazines they advertise the fact to pull the olive out:)

SOLUTION: just put the olive back in an get a boost controller. now how about that slab ? :blink:

As i metioned on the previous page that i have the same problem. Im running pods & exhaust. I pulled the olive out and it did run 1 bar for a few months then i noticed it was only making half a bar, so i put the olive back in and it seemed to run alot better. Im not sure what the go is but please help keen to find out what the problem is?? Thanks

    • 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.
