There will be a CAMS Accredited photographer at the Track so you can have Photo's done of you car on the day ($20 for a CD of your own car) if your interested me let us know .

yeh why not

my brakes are sweet, got spare pads/rotors, toolkit, jack & stand, 40L extra fuel

tune is awesome, all ready to go. helmet packed, car washed and ready

now to recover the knees for a day

ah i wish i didn't leave my brake upgrade to the last minute ;) , just got it on the road today to find that my new ghey wheels don't fit. gotta manage to ghetto pump the guards tomorrow to make them clear the tyres when turning....can nothing go right with this freakin car :(

Car got a major service yesterday, and decided to put my qfm pads in today, done the rears with no problem got to the fronts, got the old pads out but couldn't get the pistons pushed back as there was too much pressure from me pumping the brake peddle after doing the rears, my bad. So I flushed all the brake fluid out , eventionally used a welding clamp,( highly recommended) and pushed pistons back. Started bleeding the back brakes will finish tomorrow.

All good fun!

Just wait for confirmation on the timers from:

writeoff (Sharing with tangles)

Picking up the timers tomorrow afternoon and would prefer confirmation before i do.

i'll cover full costs mate

hey D strils im still down for the timing gear and im 99% sure nigel (bit sus) is still keen on the timing gear

also car is 95% ready

does anyone kno how i should vent my fuel tank?

i dont have a carbon canister anymore or the hard line, i was told to get a inline filter and just run a line up the inside of the quater panel.

but when the fuel got hot on the dyno it started leaking out the end of the breather :s

so im mad as confused if any one can pm me with an answer ull save my arse :blink:

thanks every1

    • 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
