Hey all i bought a greddy front mount of a guy at a good price came with everything apart from the hoses for the pipes the pipe size is 2.5 or around 6cm and the cooler its self is just under 3 or around 7cm

1. Were to buy the hoses i don't think super cheap sell that odd size hoses theres looks bigger or smaller

2. I read on here some one talking about the hot side of the cooler needs thicker hoses.

3. I read on here also to clean it with petrol and i did but it didn't say anything about flushing it out do i just let it dry or run hot water through.

Thanks guys tryn to get my head around this

Get the silicone joiners off ebay, you can buy reducers too (3" to 2.5"). Buy a good 3-ply or 4-ply set.

Hot side doesnt need thicker silicone if you get the good stuff to begin with.

ie pictured is 3-ply - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Silicon-Silicone-3-to-2-5-Inch-ID-Straight-Reducer-/200431436892?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eaaa5045c

Flush with a 50/50% mix of metho & kerosene, do it a few times (tape up one end), then flush out with rain or distilled water. let dry over night.

Good luck with the install.

    • 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
