Put some hawk pads in they seem very good

Should be for 500+ ... What the f*k?

Suspension seems good on the street

Will give a run down tomorrow at the track

Just going out to replace the o44 now and then pack her up for track time tomorrow

Come in spinner

What compound pads? I started with blues for the track and have just stepped up to HT-10's. Like them a lot but probably could have gone to the HT-60's.

They are way cheaper out of the US just $60 shipping that's a pain.

Yea I got the 60's

Anyway bitter sweet today

Got out and did one lap and the lift pump started to die, starve the engine putted around for a few more laps but the miss just it worse

Turns out the previouse noise was the external pump starving so I replaced that for no reason, so the spare will now go in as the lift pump

In other news the coil overs were epic

Knocked 2 seconds of the pb in one lap and I am sure there would have been another few without much trouble

Highly recommended... Turns out those mexicans at race pace know what they r doing

so ripped the intank pump out

had rust on the 044 housing

also fine rust on the intank sock (e85 is cleaning out the fuel system obviously as the tank is plastc)

replaced it and the car ran well but still had a missfire

will replace the fuel filters and see if that fixes it tonight

if that doesnt work ill compression test the old girl to see if i have hurt her running those laps at the track while down on fuel pressure

next tune a fuel pressure sensor is going in and will add engine protection to haltech

Yea they are pretty dam good on the street soak up the bumps well

At he track when you cut a kerb it just squats and down to business

Old coil were like getting punched in the face when you hit a kerb and then u were thrown across the track

If only someone would tell us what the pharken spring rates are.

    • 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.
