Shortened end tanks or core? End tanks I could do...

If you need the core shortened in length it will be a big job, Race Radiators in Dandy may be able to help, not cheap tho.

Can you take a photo with what you want done marked?

yeah though it may be a big job, scratch that then..

Will workout cheaper and easier if i just buy a 450x300..

May still need end tanks modded though..

I got no aircon and would like to fit it in the sport in front of the radiator and shorten the pipework considerably,ideally could probably fit about 450x400..

I have a 450 x 300 here if you want it, $100.

So after reading your post i realized i hadn't thought about just modifying the tanks, So when i got home i got out the tape measure, then made up a cardboard cut out and as it turns out, if cut of the inlets its a perfect fit which means i just have to modify the inlets on the tanks....Its a tight fit but the best bit is the tanks wont block the radiators much this way..

If i chop off the 3inch inlets and weld 2.5 inch ones on an angle the on the face so (with some gentle persuasion) they will fit through

then it just a matter of joining this pipe

And the inlet pipe from turbo is almost a straight pipe,maybe a slight bend..

I have a heap of spare pipe here, As i originally was mounting it in the normal position

If you think you can do it and your keen mate ill happily reimburse your efforts.. :)

I notice you do exhaust work as well :)

    • 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
