Question...

After putting on my new front mount kit I have realised that the old piping had a nipple on the cold side of the piping just before it turns 90deg toward the throttle body, to which a vacuum hose from the power steering pump is connected... The new piping does not have this.... :blink: do i need to re route this? or have a nipple put on the new piping?

Ah, that's not gonna be going ot the power steering... it'll be for your boost controller I'm guessing.

If you don't connect it, chances are you'll get infinite boost.

I'd be putting a nipple on the new piping ASAP.

i know the one you mean, and it does go to the power steering pump as you said. i'm not sure what the pump does with it though, but it wouldn't be a vent if its going back into i/c pipes. maybe some kind of vacuum/pressure assist for the pump? i'd hook it back up with the wastegate/boost controller line.

hi there mate...

what ive done is for my controller taken a reading off the waste gate and then the plenum... this is goingto give you a more accurate reading as its litteraly just as it passes into the engine...

and its on the same pipe just after the throttle body

EVERY thhing eles needs to be blocked off...

what boost controller u running??

on my last s2 i had a nipple put in but the way ive said above is the same in theory.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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
