Bit more of an update. I'm working in Swan Hill for 10 days at a time so I've got limited time to work on the car. Still with help from my mate Matt Femino we're still making progress

Headlight moulds are coming along

My sexy Tein RS's have arrived as well. Happy that the spring rates are the same as my last set. Should have better bump and rebound adjustment now for a bit more fine tuning.

Thanks to Aaron from Import Monster with his help in getting these in from Japan.

I cleaned up the rest of the sound deadening and prepped it for the cage.

Loading up to go to Trackart to get the cage fitted.

I pick up the car this Friday so I'll be finishing the interior and cage painting.

I've still gotta replace the gearbox as the old one had synchro clips fall out of the drain hole when I did my last oil change. 4th gear synchro is no longer there lol.

Hopefully June 11th will be my next outing... lots to do!

11th June? Phillip Island. What are you are you doing with your REs?

Tampered day at winton.

RE's I'll be selling but only after the RS's have proven themselves.

Thanks Matt. I'll see you there mate

    • 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
