farken awesome mate! well done. :D

refresh my memory, what turbos are you running? you must be very happy with the results. :(

edit: 315rwkw on just 10psi is awesome, and it looks pretty responsive too. i'm guessing 2530s or similar?

Cheers guys.

Yep Richard, 2530's I bought off Slide a while back. I'm stoked it's going so well. All the little things + $$$ add up to get that figure lol. 260 poncams with around 2deg advance on the intake, 0 on exhaust.

Responsive for a 2.6l lol. It's very driveable in traffic too. Can't wait to finish tune on higher boost setting though.:)

Ha ha, I ain't complaining lol. It drives like a bigger engine at the moment. One of my friends saw the graph and said it was an NA lol. In first gear I'd accelerate in a straight line and all through first gear you could hear tyres scrabbling for grip! I wonder what to expect when I run it in and go from there. WSID will be on the cards with some mickey t's to test it out.

From when I got it tuned a while back, they didn't finish it due to the metal cat converter shitting itself, and partially blocking the exhaust. Has a couple of othe lines from other cars lol.

Done over 17,000k now and running well. Blew my rebuilt gbox a few months back, so put in another stocker, number 4 now I think.

Only things I'd like to fix up is:

Top ring gap, currently 21thou want 14 thou.

Sump vent, plumb one in to let oil in head drain back down, when on track days at high revs it half fills the catch can with oil.

Sump baffle, trap door and bigger sump....

Other than that it's good. Revs to 9k but I don't have to as peak power is around 7400.

Gets oil and filter change every 3000k. Track days, it gets dumped asap.

    • 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
