Such a shit run lately hope it turns around soon so you can get back out on the road

Yeah thanks mate.... Stainless tube arrives tomorrow BUT in speaking of my luck, TNT had lost my damn rear main and boot etc so it'll now be a few days late :/ will get it in the weekend though no matter what it takes!

that cat looks nice, you gonna polish it when you do ya oil changes lol :P

you sure made alot of power with a 3inch system ..

Funny you say that, was considering heat coat black :P

Yeah I think Ash posted somewhere he made in the 370's with a 3inch and Kurtis was close too... Will see how the cat goes and then look at the rear muffler later.... Trying too keep it quiet....

All good, The parcel should be here soon!! 3" pipe arrived too so gotta go get the cat flanged up!!

More positive news - SAU NATS entry confirmed

come on man 6 weeks to go..

my car is parked nice and safe ready to rock and roll.. its odd when a car is ready so far out from an event, i almost want to pull things apart to double check haha

Will give it a good skid on sunday but not blow another head gasket

Quick update, pulled the front cover off the gearbox after cleaning it all the other day so i could replace the Input shaft seal, i was NOT impressed when i found this -

The picture doesn't show how bad it actually is, i run an ordinary ruler over it and you could clearly see how much material has been worn off it... It looks like the surface has either picked up sand and dirt due to the torn clutch boot which i am replacing OR material off the clutch, there was all sorts of crap in the housing but mostly melted brass etc which would have happened at the time of welding so i DOUBT it would have been in there for a long time... This just adds to the list of disappointment from the car BUT i will get it all sorted!

Amayama are searching for one for me now, hoping for an email this arvo!

    • 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
