:D First off I live in America...California to be exact, and when graduated in '05 I set off on my mission to get my old VG30 taken out of my Z for the infamous RB26. Well, a year and a few months later my dream had become true but unsuccessful. True because I got the swap done but about an hr. and a half after picking up my car from (Garage Works Ltd.) the business in Palmdale Ca. that did the swap for me I blew a head gasket due to overboosting (detonation). Well, worst part about it is that the money I used to do it was my college money and I figured I would have a running car so I could just work 2 pay for my classes...Yup, I am working, and going to school ...but no car. Basically I am asking for N E 1's help, whoever is willing. This swap was a dream come true 2 me that ended up turning into a nightmare...my parents don't even want me putting anymore money into the car but I think about it EVERYDAY!! (since '06)...it's '08. If there is N E thing N E one could do to help me it would be greatly appreciated, more than ever will be known. Even an idea of how to get it worked on, I just really hate having to look at my car sitting on the side of my dad's house. If someone does decide to try and help me my e-mail is ([email protected]) and I do have pics of my car how it is now if someone wanted to see proof before helping, and I do know what is wrong and needed.

Thanx Very Much

Mike

Hoping your not asking for cash, everyone works just as hard for their money as you do, and nothing in life is free.

But anyway as was already said why dont you take the head off and check whats wrong? Your not using the car anyway so it's not going to hurt if you start taking parts off.

Or even easier, sell the car and buy a sh!tter.

    • 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
