so stadium drift was amazing!

entered street class with 5 other cars. most of them looked like track hacks not street cars but was still good fun, and i learnt a shit load.

friday practive was a bit dodgy with the weather track went from wet to dry a few times throughout the day, so was weird gettin used to the changin conditions.

saturday was perfect weather. sun was out, not to hot not to cold.

laurel performed beautifully all weekend right up untill the free expression session where the rack finally f**ked out.

i believe its worn the teeth out as the steering wheel moves a long way with the wheels not doin a hole heap. and i have more lock turnin right then left.

engine also decided it prefers its oil on the out side as it pumped about 4 litres of oil through the rocker cover breather.

and its been low on compression for a while now.

so i will be rebuilding the 20 and finding a new rack in the near future.

all in all i spent a shit load of money, melted a few pairs of tires, broke some stuff and have a freaking awesome weekend.

pics as promised. will post more as the photographers put more up.

well the engines coming out this weekend.

will be gettin stripped down and then parts will be ordered as needed on advice from the engine builder.

im tryin to decide if i should spend the money on gettin bigger cams. i keep hear very mixed reports on them.

opinions?

Yep I decided last night whats the point.

25 will make the same figures I want easier and with less money spent.

Now to find a 25 locally.

And work out how to make it run.

Anyone got a link to the wiring that needs to be done for this?

Engine found!

Picking up a series 2 rb25 engine package.

Less then 70k on the engine. Still in a running r33 which is auto and the most stock 33 ive ever seen.

Hopefully picking it up next week.

Runs amazingly. Never seen an rb idle so smoothly. No smoke. Revs smoothly. No noises.

Time to start pullin the 20 out.

    • 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
