first snag

intake pon cam foules on the head casing

WTF?

what duration are they Fatz?

I remember that I had to shave a little bit of the head to fit just type 1 poncams (I was also WTF) cuz thought they bolted straight in without any issues)

the usual place next to the bucket where the cam lobe rotates

260deg should slot right in.

However imperfections in head casting can create clearing issues

My mechanic had to machine the head slightly to fit the type 1cams on my old engine

Could also be just a freaky batch from Tomei but doubt it

Easy fix

Dont put wanky cams in

funny you mention that

First I've ever head of a poncam not fitting. Interesting.

stock cam has 8 thou of clearence to the stock casting

Bah, where's the adventure. Just smack it clear with a hammer and a bottle of she'll be right.

if i was doing teh work that is what would probably happen

Never herd that before....time for a head job

lol head job sounds good

but most f**kers would pull the head and go nuts and waste another 4k and 3 months of time

ill take the lets get it running and thrash it option straight away please

    • 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
