And so, today i was driving along old beenak road and suddenly i lost traction and bashed my front end against some sand embankment, and so my numberplate was knocked off, I was wondering, how much does it cost to fix? Like mount the plate back on. And is it legal for me to drive without a front numberplate? I have it in my boot. Or should i just duct tape it on for the time being?

It is illegal to drive around with no number plate...at the least you can use a piece of cardboard with your rego textered onto it. As long as you have something there displaying your rego it will be fine. Ask a panelbeater how much to fix, seeing you're probably going to spray your front bar again.

That is illegal too, you need to have the number plate there, just take the bolts and nuts you have to bunnings get 2 the same or close enough and bolt it back on, if the holes are a little bigger now due to being ripped out get bigger bolts or some bigger washers.

I would like to agree but unfortunately on saturday night when we were going through gembrook-emerald-kallista-belgrave we somehow ended up on a dirt road, slowed things down a bit.

    • 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
