I had hoses popping of at 16 odd PSI, when i changed a few over to Norma SS t bolts never had a issue. Held on 22psi good too

Pump some air into it and see how well the T bolts hold, they all leak in the same place, as the part between the clamps has no pressure on it. Stick to standard worm clamps, and don't overtighten them or you will need to replace them each time.

Sorry, its the worm clamps ive got :)

So it turns out because the shell is just a GTS, it still had the Rb20de fuel pump, i have got an aftermarket walbro fuel pump and i put it in and it's running alot better, i am going to try find a rb25det neo turbo and put it back to stock until i can afford a better ecu and tune. For some reason since earlier today when i come up to stop at lights etc, the car dies? could this be a air leak?

Ive got a different type of clamp on every connection in my ic piping. 19psi and nothing has ever popped off.

Ling long turbos. I love it.

Stall on stop could be a leak, reversion or atmo vent.

Man you're driving a Frankenstein. Honestly if i was you id sell it and buy another car. A gts shell with an rb25det will get you into all hell with the law. Brakes, suspension, registration info will all be out of whack with this motor in that shell.

I never read each and ever post but heres what I would do, 1 figure out what your boosting frosure for more reasons than one, 2 add a lip where pipe is popping off. 3 hair spray the joint and try and spray a little air inbetween the cupler and the pipe helps dry the hair spray and really grabs(old bike grib trick).  then ditch all the t clamps you have cause there shit and unnecesarry and grab some normal worm clamps tighten them down and give it a shot. no need to over think the issue....

    • 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
