well the modifications have kinda begun... got myself a new front bar and put some different rims on.

Rims came with the car from Japan, but couldn't switch em until after rego.. not that VicRoads would know, but i thought i'd play by the book...

I think the different front bar is a vast improvement, considering i had a stock one as i sold my Nismo/Altia one to Dale ;)

what ya think? not 100% what to do from here with it....

On a little side note, i believe i am the only person in the entire country to have this front bar :dry:

yep, got my year 1 scissors out and chopped the lip off.

i want to lower it but the front bar has next to no clearance already! :P i need 18's or i need to be SUPER careful...

ylwgtr2 chopped the lip for me... i thought it could be done, so i gave the job to him knowing he could do it ;) which he did :dry: - yeah, whole car is up for a respray... but i don't know if i have the funds really, going to Africa in 2 weeks for a bit over a month...

Front bar is an exact GTR replica, made by East Bear (plastic injected moulded, not Fibreglass) and made to fit straight to the narrower GTT guards...

yeah, troy did mention i should make a copy of the bar... in case of breakage... no cheap ass copies of this around, so would have to get it sent direct from japan... $$$$$$$$$$ -

yeah, unfortunately i think 18's are the only way to solve the height problem...

yes, the bar isn't your $300 unpainted fibreglass dodge copy - i'll just say $1k+, not the sort of thing i want to be destroying any time soon...

hey dan, i'm not sure it troy(ylwgtr2) would want to do this again! you'd have to find someone up ur way how could chop, weld, make it look nice... oh, you need a GTR bracket/support bar thingy too... i'm currently borrowing Troy's ;)

what u reckon i could get for the rims? genunine Advan Model 5's, nice and light... Advan Neova tyres.. 235/255 front/back

EDIT: satanic: yeah pictures are shite... late afternoon, when i install the CS2 suite i have lying around somewhere, i'll try a fix it... you're right, can't quite see all the lines/curves, etc...

ok ok, my photograhy skills suck, i know i know ;) - thaka mate, some help!? :dry:

look at Dezz's avatar...

the bonnet is now the same as a GTR bonnet, the front bar is the same as a GTR front bar... the 2 together..... :P you get the idea..

man, don't make me put a GTR badge in the grille! :yes:

    • 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.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
