Take two laps to warm the brakes up ( it's very rear grabby during those two laps)

Then it become epic under brakes

Shows the limitations of the stock master

I have a massive list of things to do as usual

Number one is install the ap twin master balance bar setup I have for it with rear adjuster

It's got 4 degrees up front and 3 at the rear

Tyres seem to like that geometry

IKEA arms makes it easy

Why some much at the rear fatz? Appears to understeer in the correct GTr manner then get snappy when you touch the throttle. Less neg on the rear be a better set up?

yea was just trying a few things the car was previously at 3 front and 1.9 rear

the plan was with a agressive front lsd i wanted abit more snap at the rear at the start of the corner to suit my driving style...the 4wd then kicks in and we get out of the bend hard blazing all 4.

sau day ill dial it back as jenna is driving as she is not a massive fan of a snappy rear end.

however once the 4wd is back and working 100% then ill give it another bash.

4 degrees at the front was getting epic turn in though.

Yeah all the cool kids run four or more degrees at the front. Reckon the Japanese use massive spring rates because they don't run so much neg camber.

Looks funky but then it is next to impossible getting the right offset rims.

Get an Evo, they do that from stock. Properly driven should be faster into/through most corners if lacking some of the straight line snot.

    • 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
