lol nah, hoping to start it Friday and do some basic tuning in the industrial area with only a dump/front pipe :whistling:

Then it's going on the trailer Sunday morning to take it to another mates house to get the exhaust welded up :thumbsup:

And yeah, ASR sump is the goods, I got mine through Justjap.

That will be very abnoctious with just a front pipe, my 25 with stock turbo was very very load when I took it for a quick blast around duncraig with no exhaust, sick but

Yeah that's why I will trailer it to Padbury to get the exhaust finished :P

The problem is, I can't get it on the trailer with the catback attached and I don't want to wait till Sunday night before I start tuning her. It's all moot anyway unless I can get a throttle cable soon!

PM sent :)

Getting a new cable made up tomorrow, radiator top hose is sorted (butchered a spare bottom hose :laugh:), gotta get a bung for where the old thermoswitch went in the radiator (dunno where mine went :blink:). Need to make a bracket to hold the throttle cable and fix my oil pressure sender wiring.. need someone with small hands! I've already lost two nuts into the depths of the cross member :(

I had a spare hose here, i would have chucked it on the rad if i had known you'd need it. Who make the accelerator cables up? All the final small niggly bits always holds everything up

Nah I got a gtst and gtr top hose and neither fit due to the header tank thing, hacked up a spare bottom hose and it fit pretty nicely, will take pics of completed engine bay tomorrow :D

Flexible Drives are doing the cable.

i have long arms with small-ish hands.

And long fingers :whistling:

If I haven't managed to sort it by the time you knock off, wanna drop in on your way home and lend a hand?:laugh:

First day that i use the train and you want me to come round?

FYI My R32 is still at the dealer, didnt fixt the leak. Even more new parts on it now. May end up with an almost new car by the end.

    • 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
