The thing is though, it doesn't turn 2.5" until almost at the turbo, to allow space to smooth the flow out into the pissy little turbo as you've described. The intake on the stock turbo is exactly 2.5", and if you expanded it to 3" you'd get more air hitting the turbo, but you still need some way to channel it into a 2.5" hole.

Andrew has designed this for the best flow possible, but obviously the stock turbo isn't. If you had a high flow or a turbo with a larger intake you would keep it 3".

At this point in time this is the only intake option for people outside of Melbourne and Sydney, and it can be packed up and mailed off.

yeh scotts one is matched to the size of the inlet, and funnelled out, so this wall isnt hit at all..

but yeh, the option is great for others outside melbourne especially..even within melbourne for those that dont want to hit cut lol

Ok some results...

Before the tune, my economy had improved by 1-2L/100, and the car felt a lot stronger, particularly in the top end.

After tune it seems to have made a good difference, and it looks sexy to boot.

Any more takers?

Picking this up again after Christmas, hopefully there's a bit more interest post Christmas.

I've got Josh and Lukifer keen - need three more to make this happen.

I'll close this Feb 22 now, giving everyone about a month, and some time after Valentines Day for people's wallets to recover, for those tragic romantics out there.

Thanks!

What issues are you having?

If you're sticking with the same filters then the intake pipe shouldn't make the problem worse. Sounds like a problem with the oiled filters, not the AFM.

Hi all.

Next time a GB is started outside the GB area, it will just be locked by Admin/Mods without warning. We've told you guys enough now.

We have the section there for a purpose, we need to use it.

Nothing wrong at all with starting a thread in here to advise people to take a look or anything along those lines, just need them in the right area.

Also we will let this thread run it's course given it's not far off - but in future, please just do the right thing from the start.

Thanks.

Cheers mate. Weird that Andrew sells a lot of M35 stuff on ebay, and nothing on here.

So you can buy off eBay, or get in on the group buy and save $80. Thats *almost* a tank of fuel.

    • 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  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
