Well touch wood looks like my engine is ok, now need to spend some more money on the car, thinking a GT3076R or GTRS, and some 555 injectors perhaps, I'm going to be poor :).

Front turbo shaft has munched itself, need to take off all the cooler piping to try and get the shaft bits out.....

Thx, yeah, is a bit scary how similar our cars are. Well all being well and good (something always seems to f**k up) Car will be getting towed for a retune on Thursday for the turbo and 550cc injectors. Hopefully all comes up ok and it's back on the road.

Got the car back from the tuner, few issues still to sort out but overall happy. On a safe tune it was doing 257kw @ 14psi

Next stop replace the radiator and boost controller. much poorer, but happy to have the car back.

    • 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.
