^^ Danny with age like that on your side you may need to retire and mod down to a RB25DE hahaha

The elderly and turbos do not mix unless attached to a 2.5L Diesel towing a caravan ;)

On another note when is the next wreck coming in???

turbo timers are an instant defect, illegal on sports cars and they're a waste of money. well they can fine you $150 dollars for each defect they find. there is no set time frame you have to "get it to regancy" even if it runs out of rego just get a day permit.

To the guys out there that run a greddy intake manifold, have you even been defected for it? Or can you get defected for it??

Cheers

Get an idle emissions test and send in an application to modify your vehicle, they will come back saying you need an emissions test, once you have that you can go to regency to have it inspected and then you will get a nice piece of paper to put in your glove box saying you are A-Ok, if not then you are up to the mercy of the cop.

Actually even with the piece of paper you are up to the mercy of the cop.

You can get defected for your exhaust not looking standard, you can get defected for things that do no even physically exist on your car so if they want to defect you, they will.

Basically if you draw the wrong sort of attention, guaranteed defect no matter the condition of your car.

Just play the game as best you can and don't drive like a dickhead and more often than not you will be fine. I got an application to modify my car with all my mods listed, idle emissions test and keep the inspection record in my glovebox, if your car looks stock, you show them this and don't act like a twat you'll be fine the majority of the time,

    • 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  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
