Thanks

mate link no go for me but if it's the silver one for $36,000 with no rear wing i'd be looking elsewhere(ie j-spec etc)

The link worked OK for me, and Leigh, you are on the button dude.

Personally, not with a barge pole. You could import one yourself for about $10K less, and the odo reading on that HAS to be bull. You couldn't put that much interior wear on a car in less than 40 000kms.

jeez, for that sort of money (and even a fair bit less) you could have an M35.

If its manual you are after, buy this one, and then get the 26 dropped in - you will still see $10K change....

or, if its low km's AND a manual, this...

Its very clean, I looked at buying it. But went with the RS4 they had instead with all the 'trimmings' - leather, sunrooves, S-Tune goodies.

It has a twin plate clutch in it, not overly heavy has the usual 'rattle' they make under no pressure.

Yes it's a little more expensive than importing one yourself. It was 38k when i first saw it. But since it's already here and ready to go, spend some more $$ and take it sooner.

It is very tidy and legit, if I had the extra $$ i would have bought it.

They're easy to deal with, very particular about their cars(have to show real interest before you test drive it, so no hoons have thrashed your potentional car) If you want the wing for it, Ask Paul(owner and drifts Motorman S13) he'll probably get it for you.

However, these are just my opinions and take them or leave them, up to you.

    • 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
