Hi Guys

I'm hoping someone maybe able to help me. Last Friday the 14/05/06 i marked as one of the worst days of my life. My Black 1995 R33 GTST was stolen from out the front of Sir Joseph Banks Hotel on Botany Road at Botany in broad daylight between 1pm and 2pm while i was at lunch in the pub. To my disbelief no one at the chicken shop which my car was parked 2 doors down from didn't see or hear anything and the pubs one surveillance camera only faces the pubs front door not on to the street. Car was fitted an alarm with 3 point engine immobilizer, shock sensors, auto arm and all that stuff (can't remember brand but will post up later), so i am in a bit of shock as to how it just vanished.

Below are the descriptive details of the car and the only pic i have of my car on this pc (work one);

*Rego ZKB 720

*Black R33 GTST 95 model series 1.5

*18inch ANZ wheels

*front mount cooler

*turbo back 3inch exhaust with angled stainless steel cannon

*tints

*SAU sticker on back window

*RICOL Automotive sticker on front window

Fortunately the car was insured but as most of you would know that is not really that comforting considering the blood, sweat and tears have i put into your car. If anyone sees it somewhere please call me straight away on 0413 044 115 at anytime day or night.

Thanks Glenn

Soooo Sorry to hear what has happened to your car!!!!!!

But you know that thieves can also hook up the same alarm button with your frecency and disarm the alarm themselves it has haapened to a mate in Adelaide but we found out that it was someone that had done work on his car recently. Have you been to any shops getting work done. Cause if they want your car they dont stop till they get it?????

So Sorry again dude they definatly were pros if no one saw anything.....

But people dont take notice of anything these days cause alarms are always going off...... ;)

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
