Hahaha Martin is now under more pressure than me for updates :P

Asked JEM for updates, waiting on them.... Will update the thread as soon as i know where it is up too....

Adam is working on the wiring today and is confident it will start on Monday, the fuel in the tank was stale so it requires cleaning before the 044 is dropped in for startup......

Possibly driving this home next week if everything goes smoothly, but it is a car..... And I've worked on it.... So I won't get too excited just yet....

In saying that the car is already booked for the July SAU Newy meet'n'greet, Nirimba Texi day and Marulan track day so I am hoping it's all good!

You know will be all good

Only issue will be the traffic driving home : )

All this power and about 20 highway patrol between start and finish of f3 : (

They won't know...... It's stock remember :D

:laugh: ^

Farkin, shouldn't have said anything about mine lol, you're all getting waaaaay ahead of me :P Now no one is going to enjoy my thread as much as I am because it will seem such an anti-climax :laugh:

Hope all goes well with your car man, but I'm sure it will all be fine. You're not retarded like me lol.

    • 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
