Hey guys,

So .. First off no stupid offers $500 is my minimum!

What is it.. A really fast - stupid fast - originally offroad converted to onroad dragster Petrol powered car

Jato 2.5 Massive Moddified engine (stage 5 flow tek) - Basically means the engine sleeve is ported and polished which increases power and flow and mixing of air etc.. more power more speed!

Alloy Integy Shocks all around filled with 25wt oils - Retail $80 They are brand new

Alloy 2.5 Engine head, Great for cooling

Alloy fuel line cover

Alloy K&N air filter

Alloy C hubs - Steering part

Alloy CVDS - Spins wheels

Alloy New era Roll bar - Prevents rolling and scratching engine head

Alloy Era Pipe - High performance exhaust

Polished Manifold - If u duno what a manifold is u got issues

Alloy Steering Hub - Deh

Alloy Push rods - Controls camber and steering abilities.

Alloy Shock towers rear and front (both silver to make it abit different) - Adds rigidity to the chassis and reduces bounce

Alloy Castor blocks - Stabilises rear wheels

Rear Alloy Hubs

Alloy wheel nuts all round (blue anno)

Custom Wing and wing mount - Keeps the ass down

Custom Body - Cost $120, Ripp of designs blue underbelly

Rear 14mm hex Foams - Massive rear drag wheels

New Front ball bearing chrome wheels

And anything else you can have done to a jato its been done.

I did want to get a front spoiler but never got around to it .. as did I want a c.f top plate, one was made but never delivered

Another thing to mention everything Alloy is brand new, and scratchless (apart from chassis) I got this thing modded to the tits in hope of being a shelf queen but found myself slipping fast out of the hobby!

So guys heres the pix, at her prime she did 0-120km/h in staggering 100m or so. Made the onroads mouths drop!

One point tho, she needs the diff or transmission gears replaced as one is shreaded. Which one I dont know. Its because the metal CVDS place so much stress on the tranmission and diff often spinning the wheels on the spot! And there are not other problems with her! Like I said all brand new even the wheels (comes with spare fronts and spare rears, fronts are new rims and new tyres rears are 14mm hex foams been used.) A new transmission is $50 off ebay

* This post was taken from my other post on another website advertising this, Need to buy parts for the car.. Any questions will be answered as I assume most of you dont know much about the cars part etc..

Anyways pix..

    • 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
