With all the decent stuff out today, you put something on from when T. Rex's were around. I just don't understand? Not having a go at all, each to their own...but really? lol

If you want "all the lag", why not just use 1/3rd throttle to 6000 rpm then plant your foot. Atleast then if you have to move quickly you have the choice.

I like waiting.

I'm in a similar boat.

Going back to big low mounts.

Hard to get new tech in direct bolt on.

No longer want a single.

And stuffing around with gtx cores and cost didn't appeal to me either.

Not talking about your setup. I'm talking about turning the to 10,000 rpm and beyond for a car that's driven on the street. Is 8000 rpm not enough?

8000 was not enough when it did not get started until 6000rpm with the T78-33D :(

I'm used to waiting.

Between rebuilds.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

:(

You're not doing it right Luke, Paul has the right idea, overlap the builds and cut one out , you do not even have to waste your time driving it,LOL

The box will arrive this week. Should it put it in to make you happy? Haha

That's cause you obviously don't like fast gtrs

Whats the good of your car starting to go fast at 6000rpm as a DD, after I picked it up from the first final tune after I bought it , I wanted to sell the heap of shit on the way home.

So if you want a little spirited driving as a DD and you have to wind it up to 7000rpm and let it go to beat a Tiida, you can have your fast cars mate.

I know they would be good on the track once you have your revs up you can keep them there or drop a gear or 3, try driving like this on the road, give me a farken break.

Apart from the obvious problems, the car is "plenty fast" and I do not have to thrash the shit out of the motor to get it there, so all good :)

    • 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
