Jay, i've also seen this Wine Red example around Tuggeranong, i got so excited about it, mum didn't quite understand why.

Hahaha, me too. I almost twisted my head off my neck watching it go by :D

Yepp, this red one is a 96 or 97 RS Four, just what I'm aiming for. :)

I've been trying to get a 260RS imported for about a month now, apparently there aren't any compliance shops that do it. I was told that if i imported one, a workshop might want to use it as a test bed, but i couldn't be bothered doing that. I've given up on it now and i'm trying to source a manual '99 or '00 RS Four, but they're almost as hard to find

Have you tried Success Motor Imports in Vic?03 9596 9818...Or,apparently,C-Red in W.A. also had a 260RS(or two)still available.

H.P.i.,number 22:"Just make sure you've got a big box of Kleenex to wipe the dog's slobber off the back window after you've just done a rev-limiter launch."The opening story about a traffic light duel with a Porsche Carrer is hilarious,too!Autech?Oh yeah!!

It's not exactly that, but paying $60k when it's not certain if the car can be complied that worries me.

Back to thread topic, Spotted: White S1 R33 yesterday on parkway with a big SKYLINE sticker same font as the rear panel across the window. stock car except for that. I followed it up the parkway

G'day Shell - how you been?

Yepp, the poor old R33 was written off :rofl: I might post up some pics just for memory sake...

The payout finally came through this week so I'm in the hunt for a Stagea :) I've let J-Spec know that I'm keen on one (Dark blue, leather interior, sunroof), and he's keeping an eye out for me. There's also 2 up in QLD (one hasn't got a sunroof), but it's a pain buying from interstate ;)

Just gotta play the waiting game now..

    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
    • So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them
    • I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
    • Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.
    • Given it happened suddenly, and when you come on boost, I'd check all your inlet - hose clamps in place and no split rubber or silicone hoses. Even the hard to get to ones near the intercooler. It's possible air that went past the air flow meter is being dumped out a big hole.
