Dropped the car off yesterday.

I was upstairs waiting for a lift to the station and unknown to me they had taken the car and put it on the Dyno and did a few runs , after a while I was taken down to watch and the car went to 8000rpm in 5th ???????

I could not even free rev it to 5500rpm and hold it there without it farting and blowing black, farked if I know ?

Anyway , cannot wait to have it sorted :)

Did they make changes to the tune so it would rev cleanly?

Anyway, as mentioned I would hope they drive it in the road to confirm the issue is gone.

Would be nice to see a dyno printout with the Afr shown.

Can't wait for it to be all sorted !

So why didn't you take them for a drive so they could asses the problem when driven normally?

You cannot drive it like that in a 60 zone.

They will have to do it , I am sure they have somewhere to take it for this type of thing, I am sure they do not want to give it back before it is OK?

Be interesting to find out where the water is going :/

I hate being suspicious but , 2 minds think alike, maybe tweaked before or a hose off/loose, then they got me to have a look , I have no idea??

But as long as they fix it I do not care :)

They only ever seem to run one type of Dyno readouts.

so it wouldn't be some kind of surge( fuel, oil) from accelerating so hard would it? cant remember what you did to it now...

That would of sounded angry... take any vids??

I never had the fuel under 1/3rd , they told me not to go below 1/4 until I get a surge tank if I am going to push t a little,

Had a 9Lt custom sump.

No Vids

He said he couldn't even free rev it above 5500.

Seriously dude. You should have taken them and shown them what the problem is.

But I still hope they find the issues

NO, I free revved it and sitting on 5500rpm it started farting.

They have to work it out, all they have to do is drive it , they will fix it, no problem :)

I just wonder if they tweaked it yesterday on the dyno, it never went over 7000rpm without sounding like you hit the limiter but it is set at 8500rpm

    • 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
