yap its a weekend car thats why im just using tar for the chessie,custom blue paint that easy to match and the s/s bolts give it a tuffer look when you open the doors,boot or bonnet. Most of the work has been done by me so it dident cost me a arm and leg

By striping the car to a rolling shell and preping the cabin and engine bay in 2pac primer, i let the pros deal with the outside i saved around $3500-$4000 and thats no shit with all the work needed to do a full restore on a car its alot of hours and at the rate they charge it all adds up.

well i live in Salisbury NORTH, its not that bad, they are knocking down all the old trust houses, and everyone is building new, and all the problems are moving out to northern elizabeth.

haha no crap dont slow down in them areas i know i live near em all i just keep my foot on the gas ready 2 get the hell away from there! haha

you shouldnt have any trouble getting away from the ''sik VLs and VNs wiff Pod filters''

place in salisbury plains i think called extreme motorsports will supply, fit and paint for $6k (costs more if not standard paint). bit much if you ask me but that's one place you can get it done if you have the money, they got an example of a 33 already with the 34 front end conversion that they are selling too if you wanna have a look.

    • 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  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • 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.
