Hey guys

At the moment im trying to piece everything together to get my car back on the road

I just have a few questions regarding a few things i need to do or want to do

First being is it possible for me to put a series 2 grill on a series 1 set of lights?

Second is how the hell do you get the fender/guard off when the last 2 screws situated on the bottom of the car arent moving?

i have got the other screws out but the last two wont budge. Ive tried WD-40, screwing it out, hammering it out, drilling though it (wouldnt go too deep). I need to keep the original holes aswell to put the new fender/guard on. Has anyone experience the same problem? My guess is it wont move because it has been on there since 1993 and hasnt moved one bit since then. Also the factor of the screws being pushed in isn't possible because the accident didn't damage the bottom of the guard at all.

What you guys think?

Lastly how the hell do you take the headlights out when the bolts are situated in the most hard to reach places? I have tried ratchet set etc. Please let me know if you have had previous experience.

:D cheers guys

u dont need a ratchet set to get them out just a phillips head, u need to unscrew it from underneath the car leaving the bracket still connected to the bottom of the light (2 screws each bracket)

i have done it a few times

what area u at, if close i might be able to drop in after work n show u tomoz

thought so

someone at a particular japanese parts store had told me that there the same and when i put the bonnet on my series 1 guard it had a normal size gap. But after putting the series 2 guard on the other side the gap was very minimal.

cheers anyways guys

    • 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
