Hi guys,

I'm at the point where I'm starting to realise why don't I give it a go since I don't like paying someone else to do it.

I thought its about time I did something to the car on my own, besides washing the thing.

I have a link here, have been trying to figure out if there are more parts to do or is this it?

Sounds simple enough if you have a spare day available.

If I were to follow this, I can't go wrong right? Hopefully not.

I wanted to see what you guys think.

Cheers,

Bernard

Use WD40/CRC on the nuts and bolts before you try to undo them, its easy as long as you have a fairly good tool kit. Some nuts and bolts are bl00dy hard to get to and/or get a decent swing on, be patient, take your time. When reassembling use nickel or coppercote on all the nuts and bolts etc.

Yea I thought I would need a lot of WD40.

I'll get started today... the good old long weekend.

Hopefully my old man's tools are good enough. If not then I guess I've gotta scab the tools off a friend of mine.

One thing though your right about is those really tight spaces... I remember doing my dumpipe... gave up because one, I broke a spanner and two I couldn't reach the bolt. (Didn't have much tools that day) hehehe.

its an easy job

took me and my oldman under 30mins to remove the stock turbo (i've done it a few times now)

i found a few things made my job easy

removing the dump pipe from the front pipe (so its still connected to the turbo when i take it out) <-- of course you cant do this if you have a front and dump in 1

take your time, because i didnt reuse my lines the last time i took my trubo off. i just remove all the from the turbo and then remove the turbo and took off the lines after the turbo was out of the car!

its good fun :angry: ohh and remember to get new copper washers as i didnt and well i had abit of problem with oil leaking hehehe

    • 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
