his new head is still being ported...no rush...these mega builds take time, a lot of care and also patience. Simon will have a good long engine to impress Santa with when he calls into the Buckley house this christmas.

Sorry Simon...i know you want pics...ive been very busy...will get some more up this weekend.

Tomei 270 deg 10.8mm cams and Tomei bronze guides are ordered and on their way...combined with a stage 2 port job this is going to be one awesome head.

whats the go with these double valve springs?

HAHAHAHA yeh that table cloth looks quite tough.

its cost me a fair bit round the 14 15k range... but dont 4get its the ducknuts of bits inluding being a stroker motor. its not just a rods and pistons build.

santa be having a hard time loading the sucka into his sled he had to go buy a gantry to load and offload... thank f*k i aint got a chimney lol

hows the build going?

just waiting on the head to be finished (something thats out of my control)

getting things done by others is an unfortunate reality for me as head porting is white mans magic that i don't have a clue about.

Simon has been very patient which makes it less stressful for all concerned.

wont be too much longer guys and it will be down to Godzilla Motorsport for tuning...then the streets of Hervey Bay will never be the same.

with the size housing ive got i cant see nemore then 620rwhp on98 pump .... safely.... but will be fairly responsive considering ive got a stroker bottom end largish cams and a nicely ported head.... should see full boost hopefully by 4.2 4.5 all the way to 9..... WOO

i know exactly what it will make...

a mess of his rear tyres!

BAHAHAHAH yeh i know this.... can hurt to try a few things and see how we go... might have to run sum semi slicks on the street. do a burnout b4 i leave the yard so i got grip hahahahaha

and belo i think the first time i hit boost in it i will be quite scared but im used to sliding around ive had abit of practice so we'll just see how it acts. im thinking diff may start to have issues.

    • 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
