hahaha.. your a funny guy narky!

ever heard of a light bulb?

it looked different under the lights too!! it wasnt pitch black it dried in my house near the heater for a few hours and looked good... then i looked a it this morning and it was way too light.

i know it changes a little... but this is A LOT. crappy thing... it doesnt look too bad tho... i'll get used to it.

yeah i know... but thats what a compressor and a polishing disk are for :D but obviously i wont be able to do all the ***ed up corners and sections of it with the air sander

Al - just spray over the top (after undercoating of course). Mine had a few scratches and things and was looking a bit pov. That is what I did and it sticks as well as to the raw plastic and comes up just as good.

haha.. i don't have a digital camera so I don't have any interior shots. I was trying the chrome on one handle, but it came out more dull silver. To get full "chrome" chrome then i'm not sure how to do it - I haven't seen it.

I thought you could get chrome, or something close to chrome?? I got some paint the other day and re-sprayed the mesh at the front of my car. That was in Auto-B in Chadstone... and there was chrome there, it looks really weird, like you're spraypainting a mirror...

    • 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  
    • 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?
