E85. I thought it would of made more but oh well have to ask Trent why it couldn't. It is a unopened 170k s1 engine. I'm thinking I should of went with the sat45 turbo now.

The boost curve is what surprises me because my other ss2 internal gate is full 21psi boost by 3750rpm and the curve looks a lot better than that and then goes completely flat.

I'd replace the gasket between the runners and the plenumn. Some S1 are metal, later ones are rubber. Mines an S2 and was rubber, it started leaking and we didnt pick it up for a long time.

I used a cometic gasket from kudos ms.

Did u end up getting a front splitter made up?

New wheels finally fitted. Had to raise the rear 50mm so they could fit. ROH Modena 18x10 +15 with 295 semis. Next I will have get the arches flared out because they sit a bit outside the guard. Don't no if I should keep them white or get them sprayed black.

Haha yeh I think some over fenders will have to be used. My panel beater is gunn try pump the guards out as much as he can first. They sit about 30mm outside the guards. As for ride height I will be coming down just have to wait until the guard are flared as the rear guard sits on the tyre if a go any lower. Haven't really had a chance to play around with my bc cooler era yet.

    • 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
