my cars battery was disconnected for a few days while some repairs were being done, also i'm getting a replacement exhaust "whole exhaust", what i want to know is has any of this affected my powerfc tune, do i need to get it retuned or should i just get a dyno run to see if everything is ok?

thanks

You'll probably need a rough touch up, but not a full tune.

The exhaust might alter it a bit if its more free-flowing than the previous, but there wont be much difference unless the exhaust was super restrictive.

The battery off thing wont affect it though mate, all good from that point of view

So i got a dyno run today, finally, and the car only made 158rwkw as opposed to it's 190rwkw before i got rear ended. All that was changed after i got hit was my exhaust from the cat to the muffler, I got a better muffler this time a stainless steel magnaflow. They guy who I took it to was very helpful and said that the cat itself could be damaged which could be causing the drop in power or just that the timing is out and I need to get it re-tuned. I'm gonna try and get a re tune in the next 1-2 weeks hopefully. The funny thing is the car drives very nicely. no popping sounds, it starts up perfectly in the morning, it's just the drop in power for some reason, also there no missfires or anything like that.

    • 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
