My misses is working till 8-9pm, she might come depending on the time..

ok so i plan on taking my front bar off this weekend, it's not sitting completely right (ill show you guys tonight) as far as i can see it's just plugged in etc, mind giving me a few tips? ill be going threw the DIY section once i polish the car.

it's not so much not having anyone to talk to, it's a few things, she wont be home till like 7:15 7:30 as she goes to the gym, and when she gets home, because i can't drive, she wont go out anywhere, she isn't the biggest person for social events

i know about HICAS, i was wondering if i should remove it or not, thats all, i don't plan on doing any sort of drifting, but would like to do mountain runs, so would it be adviced to remove it or not?

nah leave it in man, its a "save your ass if you play to hard" type of rear steer. V

ery handy for mountain runs......and if your car steps out and catches you off guard.

drifters in particular remove it cause it screw with how the car turns in. its not a nescessary aid. but if it aint broke, dont fix it :)

*not sure how this goes with more power and after market ECU's etc

Yeah I wouldn't be disabling it unless you have a lock bar on it what if it isn't centred when you disable it?

Still sick and can't drive my baby hoping to be better before sunday.

I removed the hicas on mine, because it gets a little hairy when she wants to step out at 5000-6000 at 18/20psi. You can still run the hicas with an aftermarket ecu as it picks the speed signal from the dash. I promise guys I'll get out 1 night to meet and greet. When I get home most nights early I could not be f**ked heading out again. Lazy I know, but I will get out soon.

    • 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
