Hey ppls,

Well, I got myself a Radiator from Just Jap and it arrived a few hours ago.

It's now fitted and the car has been pressure tested and guess what...

No leaking!

No steam out the exhaust, no badness at all.

Thank goodness gracious!

Anywho. Just thought you all might want to know.

BASS OUT

(I'm off to pick up some radiator guides)

Make sure you change the oil ASAP poiter if you havent already.

It will be stuffed

Would also be interested to know? Could understand if the oil/water had mixed but he said no leakage.

Great news Pete and quickly fixed. :(

Why must hte oil be changed? Is this because of the new intercooler? Or was there something else that happend to bassjunky's car?

He basically cooked the oil, temps were massive and then didnt get a chance to cool them down once the radiator let go as you cant drive the car :(

So the oil just sat there boiling away in the nice steamy confines of his motor :(

The oil "might" be ok, but that sorta stuff isnt worth the hassle for the sake of 5 ltrs of oil and half an hour of your life.

Easier to change it and not worry about running degraded oil in a motor for X,XXX km's

Interesting, not heard this before. Valid point though. :(

    • 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.
