I can make a 3'' front pipe for you for about $150, they are a easy as to make and would be able to do it in about an hour if you brought the car to me at work, the dump pipe from the turbo is a lot harder to make and wont give much gains with stock turbo, a big cat is important also.

Cool Bro that would be awsome! , Let me know when you can do it... can it be done on a weekend??

I am def keen to do that, $150 would be sweet as.

Whenever u can do it I will be in.

I live not far from andy at Fulham Gardens, and work in the city.

So dump pipe not worth it then? , I dont know what type of Cat I have. I dont know how to tell between high flow and normal.

the dump pipe is may be worth doing but costs lots more, the front pipe gave me about 1psi gain in boost and felt alot better,I can do it on the weekend for you, the workshop is in burton witch is off port waikfield road about 10 mins before you get to air drag strip. The high flow cat is 3'' in size and is bigger about 300mm long a standard one would be alot smaller.

Cool man this weekend?

I would def be up for that, I want to get both the front and dump pipe done at the same time so I dont have to worry about doing it at a later stage. I dont really mind how much extra it costs.

Let me know for either this saturday or sunday, any day is good for me.

Hmm def have to get a high flow cat I think if i dont have already

I havent done a dump pipe for a internal wastegate turbo yet so as much as I know I could do it i would want to do it on my car first so I can figure out what to do as it is a bit tricky. If you find one I could fit it but they are about 300 alone, what other mods do you plan on doing as there would be little gains from it as it is not too restrictive.

I can do it this weekend if you like mate, probably saturday would be best just have to get a few parts so let me know if you want to do it.

A high flow cat would get better results or none at all if you are game.

Yeah I could do a full exhast would have to work out a price though I mainly just do the pipe work so if you got a muffler I could fit the lot, may be worth looking for a second hand system from an importer it would be cheaper, i can only do it in mild steel as well stainless costs to much

My mobile number is 0418815974

    • 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
