Set around 8000rpm mate...

Not bad for an engines limit set 7000 RPM ;)

All jokes aside, it's going to be interesting to as how long it lasts at this power level. I bet, alot longer than what you'd think.

We will find out I guess... I have no intention of a built motor so if something happens to ole faithful then I'll be going stock again ;)

I need to learn to treat it a bit nicer I think :P

8500RPM on a hydraulic 25 head 3L.

This combo should explode according to the internet.

Sees the rev limit hard everytime I drive it :)

Internet knows all!!

Lol, love it...

Ill upload some new pics of a few jobs i have to do over the next week! No major changes at this stage, more general maintanance etc

Jumping back a bit in the thread (I'm still in Japan and it took me 20 minutes to catch up on this bloody thread :P)

I'm running 18 x 9.5 with +22 offset and I have 235/40 tyres up front. Have a look at my facebook pics if you want to see how that sits in the guards. All standard suspension arms, so you have the advantage of being able to make adjustments :)

Lol, ill jump on and have a look but i am pretty sure that is the sort of size ill settle for one day!

Yeah that is mine, just a crappy old pic! Ill have to send him a new one to use like i promised about a year ago :P

Been driving the car in sleeper mode, its so quiet with the gate plumbed in.... Will record some comparison sounds but for now this is all i have -

Hahahaha!!! Awesome. :D

at least you can hear the tyres protesting when it's plumbed in.

Yeah they tend to whinge a LOT....

Actually on that note, with all these mods and all the research i have been doing i had to kick myself when i decided to check the farken tyre pressure and found they were 29psi in the front and 33psi in the rear.... Funny how we forget the simple things!

    • 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
