K. Thanks . I was thinking worse cause scenario i will just make the reducers up out of stainless. As its what i do for a living .. But i honestly really can't be stuffed. That is unless they are like $20.00 each :)

Any ideas what the piping is called ? I rang blackwoods and they have no idea ..

Will the standard grade 304 stainless clamps be strong enough or will they just blow the pipes ?

K cool . I have ordered the reducers from modyourcar because to do it properly with stainless i would have to use some 3 inch hose as well and the guy were i got my hose from sells it by the foot and at $70 a foot how bout no :rofl: At $39 a pop at least this way i know it will work with out any problems ( hopefully anyway :) )

I got the 2.5 inch pipe though $50 a foot or 300 mm . Got some really beefy stainless hose clamps for $4 ea too from a guy at harvey hose supplies in bunbury.

Thanks for the response guys

I rang up all bends in osborne park to get some stainless bends sorted right ... then they said they have them in stock so i got a mate to go pick them up. He has no idea when it comes to steel so he showed them what i wrote to him to pick up. I said stainless and they gave him mild steel :(

I think it will be too much effort now to get it sorted as i am in busso and all bends are in osborne park :D So now i gather i will have to have mild steel piping after all ;)

thats life i suppose.

    • 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
