Previous manifold and and compressor cover were done by GCG...no idea on price as it was done by previous owner.

Now have a manifold for a V6 being done by Competition Coatings in Guildford picking up end of the week. About $250.

I would think that as long as you are keeping the wrap on the manifold then no need to coat it as well but it certainly wont hurt.

my mate has just opened a shop and does ceramic coating, inside and out, he did my xspower manifold and rear turbo housing,

he does a really good job, he is starting to do coloured coatings as well,

i can ask him on prices for each part to be coated, he is on the central coast.

cheers

I would stick to coating the outside of the exhaust cover and manifold... As much as they guarantee the material will stick to the metal, I have no doubt over time that it will delaminate from the part.

I don't like the idea of little pieces of ceramic coating heading through my exhaust wheel...

I have used Competition Coatings and High Performance Coatings. HPC is better, though its quite a lot more expensive. Things liek manifold and exhaust housings/dump pipes will be past their best after about 12-18 months depending on the amount of driving you do (Satin black) Nothing lasts forever....

    • 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
