cheers Ewan, i think the 1st pic are just standard Series 2 lights? but the second one is perfect!!

basically they just have a chrome backing instead of the black, and it really gives the car a cleaner and different look.

if you have a look in the recent ACT postabout the $10000 4 door by KNYTESTORME, you'll see the pics of the chrome headlights....and a few posts from me bugging him for them :cheers: i'll attach a link from the thread.

i hit a roo in my old kingswood at about 80kph, cost me $39 to repair damage, you couldn't kill that car. only busted the headlight and cracked the indicator. the roo was gone when i stopped too, i was only 200m from my front gate.

canberra is probably the only city where you'd see roos jumping down the main roads. i've seen them on belco way, ginnindera drv, even barry drive. someone needs to cull the bastards to stop more things like this happening, it could really hurt someone if they weren't paying attention and hit one at full pace.

yeah man i saw somewhere (name escapes me atm, sorry) there was a fibreglass GTR front bar and front quarters for R32 GTS shape, maybe they'll suit, cos its the guards that are "wider" rather than the body/hanging points???

a headlight for $300 doesn't sound too bad. My dad clipped the mirror on his Verada (up market magna :rolleyes:) 2001 model or something, replacement mirror is over $400 and thats not painted or fitted... it depends who you go through though.

Headlights usually go for about $500 for a pair second hand :rolleyes:

Sorry to hear about the damage Shell, the roo probably hopped away with a big bruise... You'd be surprised how resilient they are!!

thanks Andrew, but as Ewen said i need the drivers side :)

damn $50 would have been great though!!

just got a price from a wrecker in Adelaide, $275 + $35 postage....so I guess around 300 seems to be the going price for one

kinda rules out getting the 4-door ones, cos I can't afford two :D

    • 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.
