as someone said earlier on, i reckon too a lot of these big name works are just dodgy, they dont do their job properly but charge you a lot of money. im not gonna mention the names of the workshops, but yeah, id rather let someone i know work on my car.....

I unfortunately had a bad experience with Chapmans....

I found their service to be relatively friendly but the lack of attention to detail almost cost me an engine, no exaggeration. I fixed what was missed myself in literally 20 seconds.

Also some spare parts I had in the car were either kept or thrown out which was a bit annoying.

Out of all the places I have been too so far I only go back to Elite Racing, his attention to detail is incredible, he spotted problems that Chapmans and Mercury missed and that was before I even popped the bonnet.

I have witnessed Dan drive out free of charge to help his customers when they have encountered a breakdown (not releated to any work he performed). What other mechanics do that for you?

Nicest guy too....

Having said all this, I will have to give the newest sponsor Hardcore a go sometime soon, from all accounts they are a good outfit with the new management.

Hardcore are happy to work on your car even if you don't have an open chequebook...unlike some workshops around the place :(

They also have built some very tough cars, including a 33 gtst which has 795hp at the wheels... >_<

I have also witnessed Dan from Elite Racing attending to a customers car 50 mins away from his workshop and not charge the customer for the call-out...and I have not seen anyone else EVER do this...Dan is first rate :(

well WE are going to WASP on the Gold Coast so ner ner >_<

But yeh, Dan from Elite Racing is a top bloke - you will seriously NEVER, and I mean NEVER find anyone as geniune, kinda hearted, honest and hard working as him.

And yeh, what a good way to start dano4127. Not too stock, but not too heavily modded either. I like :( Hope to see you out n about soon :(

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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?
