I'm not a fan of stretch at all (but that rim had bugger all ant). My rule of thumb for the minimum is 255 for 9.5, 265 for 10 and 275 for 10.5.

Not a bad rule...

yeah true. From memory, i think you can get away with 285 on 10.5 without dramas. A 34gtr lowered due to coilovers may not.

I think you can run 285 30s on 18s without too many drama, but 19s would be pushing it I think.

I wanna run 285's :(

Oh, and on a positive note (not for me as I'll wanna kill kunce) I am signing up for Ocsober... And u kunce have to Put up with me for a month with no beer.... It's not pretty but I'll do my best!

Greetings from budgiwoi guys. :action-smiley-069:

Hey hey, how you doing? Next cruise is booked for the 21st of next month, will you be around?

Oh, and for all you guys that know Jez -

Thought it would be a nice idea :D

Hmm I might be out for nats boys.

People have been losing jobs left right and centre at work because we haven't got any contracts after dec and they said today all 4th years that can be signed off early will be in nov. I'm guessing all that can't may be told cya later. I'm not sure if I'll be able to or not yet but should be ok.

But I don't think I'll get a job till after Xmas as everyone is telling me people to hire till mid-late Jan.

Thinking after I spend 1k at nats if something blows or I come off and break shit and I don't have income it could result badly.

Still haven't made up my mind yet, idk. Would be fun but I don't wanna blow an engine or something the. Have 1000 bucks to last the summer haha

You wont break the engine but you do have pads, clutch, tyres etc that will cop wear!!!

Just come down with us anyway if you want mate? Dont want you to miss out on a good thing....

Hey matt,if i'm up here then in for sure. genelle.

Awesome! Will be good to see you again.....

Unless you going to Texi? Then i may see you there as i will be off the drink so no point sitting around and watching Bathurst without beer, would be Un-Strayan!

hmm i think im mainly worried about the clutch, the trsut bearing always makes a grinding noise for a month after a track day.

idk, it should be fine.

i got some uplifting news today after writing that post so i may still enter.

just gotta hope people will be hiring in november i guess or ill be applying for supercheap over summer hahaha

My clutch went all of a sudden so i dunno if yours has been done or not, but it will be probably the weak link? Trust me, i am a clutch killing expert!

    • 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
