id say Race Pace is worth a look but someone told me they work on more RB26's than anything. Ben (i think its Ben?) knows his shit, so if RE dont work out call him and ask...

No harm in Asking. And if they cant help you ask them if they can recommend someone who can

ive spoken to ben yeah he helped me out but i still want a second opinion he told me to go the

3071 charger and swap my turbo over

then rank rotary who tuned my car said they wouldnt do that they would put a cam in and flow the head

i understand that the rb20 doesnt like cams too much

more opinions cant be bad

oh yes they can...

its the good opinions from people who are highly educated on the subject that make it easier. Im not a mechanic i can tell you what to do unfortunately.

RE is my best solution for you... Hyper Tech in Vermont can give you advice, but they dont work on many cars either nowdays

I would take Bens advice personally. He's never done me wrong in 3 years.

Flowing/cam the head isnt going to do a hell of a lot.

Being (as ive told ya) he did Troys car which is one of the better sorted RB20's on the whole of SAU.

And how long has your car been on the road in those 3yrs? :D

No dubt Ben is good at what he does, just found your comment a little funny.

It wasn't Ben's workshop that kept it off the road :P

Chill out man, not even Ash took it like that :P, did you read the second part of my post.

Just found it funny that Ash stated Ben has been looking after the car for the last 3yrs, when it's been off the road for the last 2yrs.

So take a deep breathe, have a cold drink, sit down and relax :laugh:

    • 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
