Ok mechanic came out this morning and did a few test with the spark and the injectors and in the process blew his test light.

Told me its the coil pack.

So i go and buy a coil pack which was $110 which isnt to bad.

Fitted the coil pack and its still f**ked. Not happy, he will be coming back for round two shortly.

It is now looking like the MSD DIS 4 pack or the microtech, i hope not then its getting into the $$$$$$$$$$$$.

James check the coil pack plugs make sure there clean use a little screw driver & scrap the metal pins & try again, also as some one has said check the plate the packs mount to make sure where the coil packs bolt to is clean, thats the earth point. Also check you igniter plugs ( for ser1 )on the back of the coil pack engine cover.

I may have a small window open on the weekend. I don't know if I can come to you though. I have an EXTREMELY good tow truck driver who can literally tow anything anywhere if you want his number.

He dropped J-boy's car straight into the garage for me and that car is pretty low.

His name is Steve from Pacific Towing 0412 032 023. Just tell him Daniel from Elite Racing referred you.

If you can leave it with me over the weekend I will be able to sort it out but just have been sooooo busy lately. Obviously no charge if I can't fix it.

Its ok Daniel thanks anyway, the MSD has been sent away to be repaired so im just waiting now.

It better be the MSD as this guy has already cost me a new coil pack which didnt even need changing.

Unfortunately Ive had that tow truck driver before he is pretty good, but i dont want to risk the frontbar snapping in half.

It was a bit close last time, i think i lost a couple MMs getting it off the tray :( .

Why does the guy think it's the MSD?

Well he checked the power going from the microtech to the MSD and that was fine. So he said the problem is the MSD as it is not functioning properly to the coils.

It was dropping cylinders 1 & 6 from the coils apparently.

    • 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
