Hey,

I have taken all boot trims out as the boot seals were leaking. After fixing the seals I'm stuck with another problem which I cant seem to work out.

I have put all the side trims back and the spare wheel.

The only problem now is the thin wooden bit that sits under the carpet

On this wooden sheet, there seems to be two big (hard foamish?) blocks

Now i assume these blocks would obviously go facing down

I also assume the arrow pointing out is the way facing the boot.

I have tryed for about 30minutes trying to get it in, but the foam blocks are blocking it from sitting straight

I contemplated cutting the things off but then thought they must be there for a reason (to stop rattling?)

I have taken pictures to show you what I'm talking about.

Could someone please help?? lol

The joys of having an N1.

I have no boot trim :P

Though the foam should be facing down, and the handle to lift the wooden panel itself should be closest to you, not the back seats.

Once you have done that, it can only sit one way, and if it doesn't there's somehing else in the way.

    • 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
