It might help if you tell people what you intend to use the car for....

.....or at least what sort of power you're after.

Otherwise it's kind of like asking someone where they think you should go on holiday, when they have no idea what you like. :)

Yeah, with all those mods you're going to want management. I'm guessing that your rear bar is filthy right now above the exhaust.

A SAFC is an Air/Fuel controller. It splices into the wire that the air flow meter reads from, and modifies the signal going to the ECU. By fooling the ECU, it allows you to adjust the mixture.

While not ideal (a proper ECU would be better, since you can then adjust timing as well) it would be a good start. But its also a dead-end stopgap fix - it'd be better on a light tune car with little to no mods. You can't make as much power as your mods will give you since you can't tune all the parameters, and if you continue to modify then it won't give your tuner the control they need to set up your engine properly. And since an ECU does everything a SAFC does and more, when you do replace the ECU your SAFC becomes dead weight.

I'd suggest saving up and buying a PowerFC. It may cost a lot more, but you get a lot more.

    • 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
