about a month ago i stacked my GTST 32, me and mate got some quotes and decided to fix the front ourselfs with a halfcut and get the rear end repaired with GTR guards and full spray..alltho we got further into the project last week to find its going to be too much work and cost too much with still at heart knowing its been in a bad way.

here is some progress shots off attempting to straighten the front end, didnt do too bad a job but it got to a point we saw there was way to much bent. Basically we did the sums and its better off purchasing a GTS and doing a complete swap over and selling the left overs from the doner car and my car, getn some new mags and givn the doner car a complete spray.

I have found a car I really want which is ex east and to be able to get it I need my levin to be sold, its on the market but until its sold I sorta gota sit on my hands. But we made a start over the past couple weeks so that is something.

The total overall picture is to purchase a GTS, swap the interior, drivetrain and motor and tein coilies. Then its going to get tinted and some nice 18s slapped on it. But im going to be painting my FMIC black and hiding it a bit and keeping it looking NA. Sleeper is where its at :P

    • 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
