problem with rotories is that you see one, you see them all.

all of them are pretty much the same engine, same sound, similar time, all of them can not idle, all in same chassis, rx2,3,4,7

at the beginning of the race, i was fine, but then really got sick of them aye...

LoL, but not trying to sound stupid dude. But how about R32, R33... Cause I sure as heck didnt see any R34s racing. Same engine, same sound, slower times, (bar one...) pretty much the same car even... Just pointing it out :nuke:

End of it all, the bikes got me, crazy barstards.

i have to agree with you on this one dave. most cars that race are alot a like in engine specs and stuff but that isnt the point of the jambo, its to watch the racing, perv on the hot women, ha ha

really if u wanted to see show cars i think autosalon is the place to be, me personally i go to jambo to watch the racing, that's the real shit right there.

I only goto jamboree to watch a few runs...cause after i see 2 or 3 i get bored and well the chicks hold ya attention longer...however heaps of companies there showing their stuff for sale...get to look at turbos and other performance parts...research for race car....real racing not the kind that lasts for a few seconds like a 15yr old kid having his first root.

I went both days and was a good turnout, sat was a way better day to go then sunday. Was good to see all in all and was lucky enough to see the world record pass by the heat treatments r32 gtr late sat afternoon/night, so that makes it a worth while trip for me. Was good to see so many fast cars, many in the consitant 7 second zone which realy says something about the sport, it's only getting bigger and faster. My persoanl fave's are, heat treatmetns r32 gtr @ 7.57 , gas motor sport camry @ 6.8 and mr mad in his insane twin turbo 2000hp torrana @ 6.8, and i saw all the fastest passes :happy: It was a pitty not to see that many quick skylines with many og the big players having gremlins, but thats racing for ya :(

i know i'm gonna get alot of people disagreeing with me here but i dont really think the girls was that special. The girls on stage i didnt think were model quality and there were a couple of hot promo girls but a few pretty average ones to. Sorry to any girls who read this and may be offended. If i saw them at any other time or place my jaw would probably drop but i couldnt get away from the cars. The sound and smell just kept me glued to the track lol

argh the ladies are an added bonus but the cars are the real stuff.

i just got the photo's off other various sites, bcoz there are alot of aw4esome inages of the cars and stuff on there, and no one has really posted many of the girls and cars in here. also i didnt have my cam with me it was in s.a. with my sister (GRRRRRRR)

anyway. good pics for the photographers, that is what they are there for, to share around and look at.

Highest mph ever? Wouldnt that mean you would of had to got a really slow start and then gotten really quick really fast towards the end? I saw your car and it was damn quick and impressive but it was far from the quickest there. Sorry if that sounded insulting, your car was defintly a crowd pleasure. Actually i think crowd shocker is more the word. it was strange hearing a supercharged v8 come out of a skyline lol

      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?
