The car will start up but stall immediately it will not hold an idle unless I put my foot down on the accelerator and hold revs, unsure why this has happened the car has been sitting there for a few months and the only thing that has been changed is the coil pack harness, I have tried to put the old one back in but still the same problem?

Just checked the vac hoses they are all good there are a few wires that have been hacked up by the previous owner if you know what any of them are maybe I pulled one out without taking notice?

That could easily be your TPS (Throttle position sensor) wiring. 

You've got the exact same symptoms as my 34, however I had changed the fuel pump a week or so before, and so when I was troubleshooting, the fuel pump didn't even cross my mind. Ended up being the main hose connected to the top of the fuel pump literally had a hole in it, so all the pressure was gone, as I had done a dodgey DIY job with a hose clamp, had to pull it back out, re- clamp the hose so it was a solid connection, been in for over a year now and hasn't skipped a beat.

If you've done anything fuel related, look at that shit hey. 

(Also, that plug at the bottom of that pic looks to be the main harness plug I'm guessing, looks same as mine. Maybe check the polarity of your TPS, and even check the polarity of each cable there in that pic, make sure connection is solid all way through each end of those cables.

    • 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
