awesome post cara.

andrew, i still think these would look f**kin baller on the new ride.

im in two minds

one i really like the black rims with black paint and a nice offset + rim size

on the other hand, black is the color that goes best with chromed rims... dont think chromies look anywhere near as good on other cars (they look shit on white for example)

and those rims there are quite gangsta

-D

yeah Dave those wheels would nearly go on my car - the fronts are perfect, but the rears would stick out 45mm wider than stock and sit 31mm closer to my struts, which may foul. Maybe we can head down to JIS with a jack and try them on when I get it? Might fit - and I can roll the rear guards with Luke's mate's roller if need be. not sure if they will let me try them on though.

Pity I am in love with CE28Ns .... and yes bronze ones would look hot on my car Talbo .... but I am kinda thinking the chrome/black ones as they are a bit different. Still undecided.

Stay with the CE28N's!!!

they'll let you try em on no worries at all andrew.

i stuffed em around for a good 30 minutes finding a hub, rotor, and caliper to check if my meshies would clear, and they didnt have a problem with it. as for rolling, yeah, stretched tyres, and a solid 'paper roll' should see you grinning.

yeah I am not a fan of chromies either Ben, but as Dave has said previously .... I am buying a black VIP style car, so dished chrome rims are the shizz .... especially in a super mexican offset like those VKSFs .... I might just give in to his inane rantings yet :)

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what to do .... what to do .... and I don't even officially own the car for another 10 days :)

But the Ebay fairy has been bringing nice carbon fibre and other bits for her .... I am pretty excited with some of the gear I have already acquired :)

a set of ssr viennas in 18x8.5 all round (with super low offset outback for mega dish) would be huge amounts of win. but youd need to be fair low to properly pull it off.

whatve you got so far? pm me if you like.

Much better

yeah, the silver on black looks dope

all u need is a hydraulic kit so u can hit switches n sit sideways, get more bounce to tha ounce yo

(sorry ive been watching breaking bad)

and then u can get hydraulic boot installs so u can pop trunk, houston style.... and listen to your music chopped and screwed

and sip codeine and promethezine cough syrup heh

Too bad the bass just munts up handicams - that was Paul Wall

-D

LOL Andrew, if Dave didn't fag out on us we could've carried 1 each on the plane and drive back on them!!!!!!!!!!

pete,

if you wanna cover the cost of 2 missed weekends (the best paying shifts of the week) so that i can come along on this awesome road trip (which i was embarking on straight after a 10 hour shift) i would be more than happy to do so.

much love,

dave.

haha true Pete .... I will be taking a couple of items with me on the plane to fit for the drive back :)

Dave I will post some photos of bits shortly.

So guys, I have done a VERY dodgy photochop of the chrome/black CE28Ns onto my car .... forgive the aspect of the wheels - I don't have a photo of them laying perfectly flat, so they look a bit phucked in my photochop - but it gives you the idea. I specifically like them since the car has a fair bit of chrome on it (and I will be taking off the black window guards so it will look even more chrome) - so they tie in nicely with the black/polished combo imho. Also, the car will be dropped just over 1" all round, so will fill the guards a bit better.

I am leaving this picture up for 2 minutes - so those who see it, enjoy and please keep the secret until I get my car. Those who don't - you snooze, you lose :) I will be taking the pic down in 2 minutes. Anyone found not keeping the secret will be dealt with by me accordingly.

    • 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.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
