That was a great idea Steve, I'll try to drag don along next time. Had a lot of fun and to finish close to Eric's GTR is a good result for the humble FC. Thanks Eric for the run, and rerun when i changed back to normal wheels. Battling is way better on rubber with tread :teehee:

Yeah Chris, I originally wasn't going to run my car at all. But, the slightest twist of the arm and well GD2ILA was itching to have a small strech of the legs.

Was good fun! I have some video that Matt was kind enough to film too so will put that up soon.

A little more awake now.

Thanks to officials for their time and efforts. Thanks to Reece for jumping in the car to give to me pointers, I may have seemed very confused but your tips through the day made a big difference. Slower is faster but it's hard to resist the temptation to make the tyres scream. cheers.gif

Did anyone get a shots or a video of my Stag going around? Would love to see it doing it's thing, hopeful of the one hand break turn that was right.( out of many attempts ) thanks.gif

For a first timer everybody made me very welcome. Anybody sitting on the sideline worrying about being a novice or breaking your car - don't be, it's all at your own pace. As for breaking your car - refer back to previous comment re slower/faster. thumbsup.gif

I now just need to sort a new clutch before the next one so I can do those 6k launches . nyaanyaa.gif

and yes this thread needs more photos and videos.

You did great! And I think another point to make is that you drove home on the tyres you came with... so anyone thinking it's an expensive day out cos you need 11ty sets of tyres (as previous pictures would have you believe :P ), it doesn't have to be!

    • 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
