ooer an RB25det in a 180sx... your best bet would be to source parts from canada or even direct from japan (coz frienght will be less). Get in touch with and get to know any of the guys who are stationed in Japan (US navy ppl) and they should be able to purchase and ship small parts to you.

Just try to avoid the usual non performance rice based dealers in the US as they tend to cater JDM parts to make your friendly civic look like every other car under the sun. Doubt they'd know how/where to order real performance/JDM parts.

No one here seems to know where to get the parts at, we are all just a bunch of stupid americans, lol. Actually I loooked up shipping and it wasnt to bad, its about the same from japan, and I cant read japanese. It makes it really hard to browse japanese sites. I didnt know that canada would have parts for it, those crazy canadians. Well thank you very much.

Hmm try http://www.takakaira.co.jp its in enlish and they ship to the US. Altho dunno if they have stock factory parts and spares.

Canada might have stuff for skylines coz the import laws in canada are much more relaxed than in the US, there's more 'lines there than the US.

If you're really desperate, lemme know and if they're easily sourcable parts I'll ship em to you. (after you've sent me the $$$ first anyways :))

      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

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
