ok so yesterday i wanted to test it out as i jst got it.... so i gave it some up this hill.... went good but then i had to slow down to chuck a turn it as i did that my steering locked up and my engine turned off, my accessories interia so on was still on... and now jst getting maccas in the car park cruzing along... and went to turn into the drive threw and cut out again..... any ideas anyone??? plz help!

THNKZ :sick:

ok, a few questions:

1. do u have a blow off valve?

2. did you hit the brakes quite hard before the corner

3. did u put the clutch in?

If the answer to all three is yes, then its ur BOV. THis is normal for untuned cars running after market bov. So no need to worry.

IF u drop the rev to quick it will cut out.

You can either tune the car.. or just dont put the clutch in if ur droppng ur speed quickly or if u do, play with the acclerator to keep it from stalling..

=)

mmm yeh does ey brendan... so bov u recon ey..

yep, its a very common problem. My car does it as well... but ive learnt to expect so it doesnt jump on me and i lose brakes and power steering mid corner!! Which it did when i first test drove the car... I explained the problem to a friend @ xspeed who inspected the car for me and he explained it to me.. But i recently got a SAFC 2 so that will sought that problem out when i get around to installing it.

I kind of have the same problem excet my oil presure meter on the right Drops down really Low then my engine cuts out,Happend during idle once in 2nd up a hill and again in 2nd coming out fo a corner :sick: and theres plenty of oil..

Ive got this to.. ive noticed if i put my foot down before a corner and put on brakes straight after and go in for a turn it will cut out.. so i just make sure i dont do that or if i do i play with the accelerator like someone else noted..

how much it cost ya?

safc 2 cost me 100 bucks. Bought it off a friend

installation: free, do it my self

and tuning? maybe 150 bucks im guessing? Hours worth max on the dyno.

meantime just be aware of it and u will be fine.

    • 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
