Not really sure.. But taking the dash out takes abit of time.

Took me a bit first time, then stuff up some stuff and had to redo it.. but I got better lol.

Make sure the dials you have are completely flat and that it doesnt require the needles to be bent to be taken out. I heard the cyberstork ones were good. Not sure.

I put mine on mine, then they werent flat (The crap ones on ebay) tacho would stick at 3krpm. Took em off after 2 weeks. Too much bling!

There are a few tuts around SAU on how to take out the dash, and take off the dash. Then probably take the dash to someone to get the dials installed.

Mate,

You have more care than than anyone else. I have them done by "professionals". When I saw how they done it, I wished that I would have done it..myself. At the end I sold the dash. The best think you can do is get yourself a white GTR one. I saw performance-wise (paul) has one for sale on e-bay with just a few KM on it. They fit perfectly, look really sexy and they work. Mine use to get stuck on 5Krpm and was not a cheap one (el-dial).

Good luck,

EUG.

      Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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
