NA rocks :P but lack of turbo push gets annoying only sumtimes. Problems you should look at is the history of the car like accidents, genuine km's, respray jobs and stuff like that. Some ppl find out one day that their cars arent so genuine which is quite unfortunate! The RB is a very strong engine and is great, so good i know a bimmer that has one under the bonnet!

I must admit that RB engine is very solid block no frizzles (is that a word???)

Let me put it this way my 1994 R33 never had engine problem, no leak of any kind. once I was worried that there is not even one drop of oil in my drive way :mad:

if you can do the compression test while it is under warranty. but I tell you SGIO or RAC wont do it cuz RB engine's compression test is hard to do.... well that;s what they told me.

cheers

The RB series is a pretty solid engine range. The R31's had RB30DE's same as VL's. My old VL went past 200k on the clock and its going. I treated it like a whore (my first car) and it still loves it. VLs were widely known for having the RB series engine in it built by Nissan.

    • 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
