Ok guys, I was trying to fix an oil leak lastnight, I changed my turbo return hose for some nice speed flow fittings and a braided hose, unfortunately I still didn't get it....haha

But to the main problem, I took the car for a quick lap around the block to see if I fixed my oil leak and gave it a boot full as it only leaks at high rpm or when it's on boost, and after I backed off and put in the clutch to roll back up out the front the car suddenly was stuck revving at 4000rpm, I quickly popped the bonnet and checked it wasn't the throttle stuck open for some reason but it wasn't it, could the tps be stuck in a position telling the computer it's still open?

Car has a single throttle body, running a motec computer, not running a afm

It's never done this before and I didn't fiddle or disconnect anything while changing the oil return

Does it have idle air control valve like stock ones? If it wasn't single throttle body it would be the seals only other possibility is u blew a intake manifold gasket? Get some brake cleaner and spray around the inlet manifold while running and see if idle changes.

I don't think it has one anymore, I'll try start it now to see if its had a change of heart today and pull the plug on the tps see if it changes

I killed the power from the battery so hopefully its reset the computer if the motec had a fit

If not ill try find some brake cleaner and give it a spray

Haha was on a roll today, found the leak aswell

Must of been a return for the second turbo from factory, how it was plugged up was absolutely s*@t house and was spraying out, got it all fixed now tho

    • 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
