Got a message from a mate that there is going to be 60 cops coming over from Victoria (great swine flu) this thursday for a 2 week blitz in Adelaide.

Donno what the blitz is on but I'm guessing it's going to be everything. Just a warning :blink:

Are they bringing over equipment/cars etc for 60 cops? Are those cars being driven over ... doubt SA has extra cars for 60 cops not employed by the SA Govt. 60 families missing their partners for 2 weeks. Who's paying them? Vic Govt going to pay 60 cops to work in SA?

I find it hard to believe :P

In any case, I have nothing to worry about.

it beats most comoodores on the street let me tell ya that! :blink:

Sv8's are really underestimated, less weight but same suspension and drive train as their SS brothers. I almost picked up an ex-police executive 2yrs back, stock looking exec with 6ltr ! :P

6ltr ay? must of been the ex-cop ones that had them. mines only gen3.... 6 spd. etc,.

only thing i dont like it doesnt have cruise or leather.. but the power makes up for it :blink:

I just drained 7.5K Km old Motul 8100 and it looked relatively good other than it's dark appearance, no sludge. Just replaced filter and put in some 10/40 300V chrono, didn't do a flush as I don't think it's necessary... yet :P

I'd rather the oil look dirty... at least then you know it's doing it's job.

Yeah last of the VZ exec cop packs, most went to NSW and VIC. pretty sure the VY SV8's were about 70-100kg lighter than an SS, maily due to the lower spec trim and less sound deadning.

As for oils.. Still..

Make sure you flush is if your going from Synthetic to Mineral or the other way round as you can't mix the two. It causes a chemical reaction and is not good!

Also, go to Big W for Castrol EDGE it was $56 bucks last week! :P

that would make sense...

mine would weigh abit more i reken with the upgrades that have been done to mine anywayz...

What in your NA? :P ohh I forgot your friends with roo and his blue mesh :blink:

haha jokes aside yeah I have had nothing to do with martini, infact ive only herd of it cos of boost worx....

whats roo got to do with the fact im sponsored by martini racing?

lol .. i actually thought that was quite normal...

However... i've been eating leggos tomato paste straight out of the jar hehehehehe

;) oh dear........

i like it shaken not stirred thanks

yes, yes i know mr krishy :dry:

Ruby please change your avatar. I'm soooo sick of that homo comic male thrusting his groin on my screen that I skip all your posts and the ones directly above and below it.

It's worse than the blue mesh... at least I don't see that in my own home.

I guess you could say that the oil being dark might be because it's dirty. I was always under the impression that oil was used in engines ect ect as a lubricant rather than a cleanser :P

    • 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.
