No the first place you could ask is me .

Which FJ20 inlet manifold do you want as there are two DR30 variations and the S12 Gazell type .

The one I used in the Bluebird I had 4 cars ago was the slightly larger plenum volume early version . I removed the external EGR log from the lower side of the runners and the throttlebody flange was removed and welded back on at a better angle for the old birds intercooler plumbing .

I have all three and their native fuel rails and FPR's from memory so drop us a PM and make an offer .

In Syd , cheers A .

BTW still have all sorts of FJ20 odds and endz looking for new homes ie Gazell engine mount brackets (v hard to find nowdays) Gazelle thermo housing , loom, Gazelle turbo exhaust manifold and cast dump pipe (no fire wall mods) and these dumps have the waste gate integrated unlike the DR30's extra flapper plate and small bore bolt on elbow , intercooled DR30 ECU , odds and endz .

There is a lot of miss information about inlet manifolds and in this case the std DR30 manifold is not as bad as many think .

The ultimate system is individual throttlebodies and is why Nissan used them on RB26's and the GTiR spec SR20 .

Still while the Japs race 9-11000 rpm drag engines the copy cats think its the way to go .

Actually thats only partially true, the RB26 was designed to compete in the up to 4500cc touring car class.

And as such was a curcuit car engine firstly.

ITB's give better response,not necessarily more power.

I guess it depends on exactly what you are trying to make.

A drag car would want 1 large t/b over itb's.

The other way around for raod/track car.

    • 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
