Yeh, ring Race Brakes in WP, tell them about your drama and see if they can get you sorted. The std lines are absolute rubbish in my books as they go to the back of the caliper and not to the std hard lines so when you add lock they ouut tension on the lines :(

And just a question, why isnt there a rule tha states aero cant be a certain percentage over the original dimension or track/wheelbase of a vehicle? I am looking at picks up of an S13 and its way out there!!!! The front wing adds about 50-75% of width to the car...and extends waaaay forward as well. All a bit crazy in my books

I don't have any pics mate, but I've seen some of the cars Roy's referring to.

I'm sure some pics will surface soon enough.

Good news, Mark, Russ and team arrived at EC this morning after driving through the night with both cars in tow and another dual axle trailer full of body kit and fuel :)

The 34 fits on the trailer with about an inch to spare either side now :)

You'll have to swing by and look under the bonnet won't ya! :P lolol

And testing? Yeah, heaps of em. I see some Japanese guys in pit lane with RX7's now, and the Brissy R35's are there too. There's a gaggle of evos standing around looking boring as batshit as well :P

Oh and Timmy, Russ was asking if you were coming up? Hitch a ride with Benson if he's still coming ya champ!

Would love to, but full steam ahead with the EVO to prep it for Rally Aus ATM, damn bodyworks set us back a month!

wow ... Seems like next year the only 'logical' step in regards to aero development is to have wings that are mounted in an unsprung manner, chassis with sliding skirts and rear mounted radiators with large 'cooling' fans ....

Then we'll having dual chassis and active suspension designs all on semi slick tyres :P

    • 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  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
