Iv only got the car yesterday and it is getting better the more I drive it. The car has been sitting for a while.

Could be plugs then. My plugs fouled so bad that the car wouldn't even start. That said, my car had an underlying issue (coilpacks).

Change the plugs.

Changed the fluids and filters.

The fuel filter was so clogged I couldn't even blow threw it.

Its getting better when go to accelerate and it's smooth but it's feeling like a traction control is on.

Engine is keen to go to 7000rpm but in the wet today it felt like traction was on.

Is that sounding like a diff problem?

Plugs changed tommorrow and so will coilpacks, that should sort misfire problems.

Okay I will take a video tommorrow, it's not popping it's jerking.

I just took it for a drive and it seems as soon as the tyres are losing traction it feels like your driving over light pot holes.

Car seems to wanna stall at low rev when once put in gear.

If its been sitting around for a while its possible for the fuel to have gone a bit stale and cause a few running problems, you may just need to fill it up with fresh tank of premium

Car is still jerking replaced the spark, checked the coilpacks for cracks. My oil pressure gauge sits on almost no pressure when I'm driving at about 100ks?

I'll be replacing the fuel pump next week to see if that done it?

It's making a poping noise (popcorn in the microwave)

Its happening from 4000rpm it starts. I have a video of it now but it's not very good. In the video it makes the poping noise in 2nd gear if you can hear it

Also gotta add it wants to stall when I take it out of gear, it drops to almost 0rpm then jumps back to 650rpm. It's not hunting for and idle only.

Wants to stall when Taken out of a gear to stop. Only sometimes.

I'll change coilpacks and spark.

    • 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
