I ordered these wheels from the guys at JAX Tyre Centre at Southport, they are good blokes but they had a major problem getting them from the supplier, for 3 days I was stuffed around and fed BS about " Their coming from Sydney" or "They are on the truck from Brisbane", then back to "The pallet hasn't arrived from Sydney" WTF ? :ninja:

I had enough and went back to JAX and got my cash back, they had the dirts as much as me about it and they did everything they could to get me sorted out but no luck.

Can anyone suggest where I could go for wheels on the Gold Coast or up in Briz, thx

Thursday - " Will have them tomorrow "

Friday - " Sorry mate they are coming from S.A. come see us Tuesday

Tuesday - " Wheels don't fit on car wrong size " 32 OS need 40 OS come see us tomorrow.

FFS this is getting to be a joke, it's been three weeks now, all I want is a set of f*&%king wheels for my car !

they are dumb asses, if +32 hit the calipers, +40 won't be any better as +40 will move the wheel inwards. Brake clearance is not dependent on offset but rather the design of the spokes whether they have high disk clearance...

Yes the original wheels have are +40 but the spokes were obviously made to clear the brakes...I hope they took this into consideration otherwise we'll definately hear about it ;)

So which Tyre companies stuffed you around?? Going shopping soon so I need to know!!

Not so much the tyre shops but their wheel suppliers. The boys at both JAX and Dunlop Tyre Centre were awesome they broke their necks to get wheels for me, they just get fed bullshit from the wheel suppliers.

I finally got my rims thru the boys at Dunlop down here at Burleigh Heads, they got a shitload of rims down from Brisbane to fit against my car and came good. Good price too, glad it's all over. :laugh:

      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?

      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.
