CHanged oil to Nulon 10-40 fully synthetic, seems to be revving much more freely.

Don't leave that in for too long Dave being that it is mineral based - regardless of what they say on the bottle/website.

It was crap in my wife's Magna after 6,000kms (engine became noticeably rattlier the longer it was in there) and only 3.8L came out (5L went in) when it was dumped after 8,000kms.

It will probably be okay for 5,000kms, but don't push it further than that.

Modded the wiring for my uprated fuel pump. Ended up taking out the rear seat base, drivers seat and all the boot trim because I wanted to run the new wire in the same place as all the original wiring. Took me a long time, but worth it to do the job properly. Now I have full voltage at my pump instead of only 11.8V.

Also fitted GTR triple gauge unit and moved my wideband gauge, but that's another story..

Today... I bought it!!

Hi All,

Been reading these forums for a while now whilst I've been looking for a Stag. Now I finally have something to post.

Managed to be the winning bidder on this baby overnight last night. '98 S2 Dayz, Twin Roofs, Tripto-Auto, Heated Leather Seats! :thumbsup:

If all goes well I'll hopefully have the car by end of October. At that point I'll no doubt be scouring these forums for as much info as I can muster. I can't wait to rip off that ugly-as steering wheel cover and give the mats a clean.

Had mine stolen tonight

you flamin mongrels better hope we don't find you

keep an eye out for all my parts

260rs rear bar,sideskirts

g-squared white dash

rear guard flares

masa wing

twin straight pipe exhaust

I'm absolutley f**ken gutted

that thing has had so much time and money put into it since I bought it

and some banana is out there now either thrashing or stripping it right now

good luck selling (or getting around) on those wheels

everybody on sau-sa knows them and if anyone see them on your car,your in a world of trouble

if anyone is a member on ns.com

could you please post it for me? Pm me if you want more details

it's been reported,I have a description of the person seen lurking before it went missing

plus buddy,if you read this

your on camera!! And I've got footage

Sounds like this tool needs some contact counseling to let them know the error of their ways in taking cars that don't belong to them. Good luck getting your Stagea back, hopefully in one piece & not f**kedup.

5k service + fuel filter (which I i'm pretty sure has been there since factory :ermm: )

Filter was a bitch!

CHanged oil to Nulon 10-40 fully synthetic, seems to be revving much more freely. IT's having a lot of trouble holding traction, mind you it is damp. I'll have to wait until it's dry for a proper test.

Rear upper camber arms have arrived also, will put them in soon.

uh oh

^^^ x2, i ran nulon in my r32 but didn't put enough k's on it to notice, then ran it in my stag and once it cracked about 5000 kms it started to get loud

gulf western sougi s6000 all the way

RBD2, that's rotten, hope it turns up unmolested.

Finally fitted my trans cooler and some new smd parker globes, nice white light, not blue like my last pov set. Jeez I hate getting those globes out, even with the bar off and the lights halfway out it's a pain!

Man that sucks. Nothing worse than car thieves/vandals. Just not cool to mess with someone's pride and joy.

Yesterday I fitted a wideband AFR meter to my 260RS. Can't wait to have a play with the Vipec features (mixture map, wideband closed-loop)

that is a sickening feeling, rod.

i hope that it turns out for the best.

i'd also be having a think back on who has come to see the car, i know you had it for sale - this is the reason that when i'm selling a car i always meet the person at a public location like a petrol station or a car wash, some of these 'prospective buyers' aren't looking to purchase your car, they're just scoping out how secure the vehicle is, finding out what hours you work, and who is at home at what times etc....it sucks but it's true.

How did you connect the triple cluster?do they have any connection that fit straight up?

Lost half my passenger weather strip last week on the way to ballarat

Christ it's a mess of tape and glue under there tho

any advice on the best way to get all the shit off?

how'd you go with this, mine are borken and need to be removed too

got the plenum spacer installed tonight.thanks to iamhe77, although it didnt all go to plan and was being a bitch (stupid studs that dont want to come out) in the end we settled for leaving out 2 bolts. hoping it wouldnt leak..(arranged to fix it in the next few weeks)

THE VERDICT....

THE.... BEST... MOD... EVER

ive only got a cat back zaust and f**k. the car HAULS ASS. seriously. soooooooo much nicer to drive. it just goes. theres so much torque. i thought the car went well before this spacer. but wow.

DEFINATLEY WORTH THE MONEY... DEFINATLEY!!!!

    • 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
