Does anyone have a photo of the bracket that holds the G-Force Sensor? 

When i got the car, i found that the g-force sensor was removed completely and only the 2 wire harness were there. I purchased a new digital g-sensor but then realized that it mounts on a bracket but i have no idea what this looks like. 

If anyone has a photo of it that would be really helpful for me to design a new bracket

Unfortunately the shape is a little fiddly, eg from google image search for "ATTESSA sensor"

You don't need to have something identical, in my manual converted stagea it has been custom mounted and working OK for about 15 years.  It does need to be pointing forward (as it las separate lateral and longitudinal sensors) and reasonably level when parked (for the same reason), and ideally towards the centre of the wheelbase

Thank you so

There are a pair of studs in the chassis, your right arrow is correct but the other stud is on the opposite corner. Pic from my car

Thanks again @Duncan i was able to 3D scan the interior section and I made a custom bracket and 3d printed a custom peice to mount to the bracket. Without your photo for reference, i wouldn't have been able to do it. Thanks.

It's actually 2 parts i had to make. 

1. Adapter plate for the Do-Luck G-Force Sensor (3D printed). I found that the do-luck sensor was already using 3d printed components so i just removed the 4 screws that holds on the bottom part and created a larger plate to screw into the 2nd bracket.

2. Sheet metal plate that 14gauge mild steel, that bolts onto the 2 studs that the factory G-force sensor bolts onto. 

And yes, absolutely, the sheet metal plate is just a .dxf file that you can share with any sheet metal manufacturer and they will be able to re-create it for you. And the 3D printed file for the g-force sensor to mount is just a standard .STL file that you can load on any 3D printer. 

 

Let me know if anyone wants them, i can share it with them. keep in mind it's specific to the Do-Luck but at this point i can adjust it to accommodate anything.

The sheetmetal part looks like 15 minutes work in my shed with the panbrake.

yep essentially. I dont have a garage yet with all the tools so i send it off to a manufacturer.

    • 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.
