Hey Guys,

So i have finally found out whats wrong with the stag,

The rear cradle bushes are a lil worn, nothing major, but mechanic said its what to expect with a car thats dones 150ks,

Now i am going to be replacing these in the next few weeks, i have found the white line set, which is approx $200 + install.

I have also done a bit of research and i am looking into puttin in some "drift pineapples"

has anyone doe this and what ones do thay use? mechanic wasnt 100% so any help and pics would be great.

Cheers Guys

Kris

I have used them before on my r33 and worked well. it alters the geometry of the cradle like a 4 link setup, so if the pineapples can be moved around for different setups eg. Grip, neutral and of course drift

^^^ Yep just replacing the bushes should help heaps. I have "pineapples" in my car because I try to do regular track work but when you put them in you'll get a drone from the diff... the instruction that come with them say you can put them in for a track meeting or the drags and take them out for the street but who can be bothered doing that?!

Also check rear toe setting - toe out will make the car wander - zero is a good setting for the AWD.

    • 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
