Rob - turbos will probably not be on for at least the next 2 weeks:(

Got 3rd o/r but was only there for the fun and ****ed around too much.

Like the Classic Rally only a lot better organised and Waaaaaaay cheaper.

Great closed road sprints around collie, grimwade and Harvey and some laps of the powerhouse circuit mixed in with auto and motorkanas.

Was a TOP w/end:D

Cheers

Engine feels plenty strong. Is running way too rich ( back of the car is black and the vids show heaps of smoke out the arse)

Autronics is away getting updated and will be back in a week or two.

Was down to .9 bar boost on 2 nd day from 1.1 and only found the split intake pipe tonight.

In that spec , still hosed Darrl sosa's evo 7 in a side by side drag 3 times. hehehehe

Cheers

Ken - was the car running overly rich because of the split pipe or is that what to expect with more boost on the std ecu?

No , was running rich before the split pipe so would expect you to have to retune.

They are fat on the fuel std and very fat at the top which is where those 2530's will pull the air up to on the map.

Red calipers????

now THAT is rice:D :rolleyes:

Cheers

    • 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
