Full confidence in Jez, he doesn't strike me as someone who would think fumes in the boot is acceptable.

Jez picks up hitch hikers on the Pacific Highway and if they are still conscious 30 mins later then the system passes the test....

haha, thats a worry, I do not think I want to leave my car with someone that picks up hitch hikers, well, unless they are really HOT!

not that it will make any difference but what did the Teflon braided cost for the job, just wondering the price difference between that and a cheaper alternative ?

I can't remember whet the hose cost. As its my daily I have 3 kids to cart around so I didn't want any fuel smell so Teflon in the boot and series 400 outside the boot

Talked to Jez today and he is using the Teflon Braided lines, so all good.

I have kids too, so I know what you mean and the trouble with petrol you do not need more than a drop or 2 and it hangs in there for yonks :/

The original one is in this thread.

The car hasn't been to another tuner yet.

But you'd know that, because you'd read a thread before commenting.

I dropped the car at the tuners yesterday and think Mark means the Dyno print from the test run. I think they were just having a look at it and said the tune was pretty good, so we will see what we end up with.

The car will need the other work done before the final tune and I should get a before and after result off the same dyno to post.

Correct Pete, thought you might've had something already. Initial feedback positive at least...

will be getting something later today I think.

The initial feedback was that the tune was OK, there were a few things to look at but it was just a run for him to see what is going on.

It's in good hands up at jez's shop :)

It will be interesting to see how it turns out considering he said the tune was OK and pretty aggressive, so we will soon find out.

XKLABA drove it and posted a few thoughts on an earlier page

Talking about XKLABA, he was 1st in his class at the Tamworth round of the NSW Hillclimb Championship and only 0.33 off the class record, go Mick :banana:

I think he was 8th or 9th overall :cheers:

    • 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  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
