  • Apex Pod (Replaced the K&N oily one that came with the car)
  • 40mm Alloy Rad
  • Uras Bodykit (Now sold and back to standard)
  • HKS Oil Cooler
  • Rainbow Sox
  • Extreme HD Clutch
  • Bleed valve @ 0.8Bar
  • Bride Zeta
  • Reinhard Catback
  • Speco Water temp gauge (soon the be replaced with Defi Din gauges)

Reinhard. Complete with removable mufflers and silencers (excellent for street use).

Here is a vid of my drifting with the exhaust fitted:

That's all for now. Konect.

NICE VID!

what is the tune like on it? sounds a bit laggy? love the RB sound though!!

Nah probly more my driving that makes it laggy. Was my first run for the night so I was a bit out of practice, later on I started keeping the revs up while on handbrake so it wouldn't bog down, then slamming third for the last corner.

Tune is the normal jap tune (rich as a mofo!) and comes on about 2.5k revs which is about normal. Not too bad to drive :)

Thanks for the comments :yes: Will get better footage next month.

nice car mate, it reminds me of the one in bigx in hpi9 (except yours is better), i cried when i saw what they did to that car :nuke: ..... and the laurel :):)

lol yeh i have that vid! OH my poor car, at least it doesnt get rolled on its roof...yet, touch wood :D

    • 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.
