Boost contoller and wheel spacers, If he didn't find those he would of got me for to low and front window tint anyway. The Cops son has an R32 so there was no chance of him missing anything.

Just got terrible news. Anyone hear about the train crash between the car and train yesterday? I knew the girl. Sad sad news indeed, only 23 and was going away for the weekend to celebrate her birthday. To come to such a grizzly end... words do no justice. Please keep her family in your minds if you have a spare minute and your prayers if you beleive.

Thanks guys :P

yeh sucks... there hitting everything and anything they can!! maybe its money for the motorsport complex?? hahaha yeh right!

What do they need money for the motorplex for, no one is asking the government for anything other than approval to build. This is how the government has got the general publics back up about the building of the track by giving the impression that these hoons are asking for millions of dollars to build a track, which is not the case.

Cheers mate, and yes, totally unnecessary... another example of why to live life 100%, you never know when your plug will get pulled

Got pics of your new wheels Matt? Are you coming to poker at Burger's next Friday night?

Hey Andrew, sorry mate, I took too long to do everything I had to do this afternoon, so missed out on getting pics during daylight hours :P Here's the best I could do under the lights of the garage and a Sony DSC-T200 point and shoot:

Very sad to hear about the train/car accident too, so young :happy:

heh great minds. i had one of those a couple hours ago, but i also had fried mushroom in butter, fresh parsley and a slice of cheese to top it off >:happy:

and runny yolk ftw

Well for the first course we had the following:

3 slices of toasted bread

3 eggs, sunny side up

250grams of bacon

smokey bbq sauce

So, double decker b&e toasted sandwich packed with all the good stuff.

This was followed by half a dozen Toohey Extra Dry Platinum, various spatterings of Jim Beam Black, Johnny Black, Jim Beam Single Barrel, Jack Daniels, Jamesons 12 y/o, Johnny Walker Green, Apple Tequila (direct from Tijuana), Amaretto (direct from Tijuana), Giesen Sauvignon Blanc, Woodstock Botrytis, Seppelts Gewurtstraminer, and finished off with some of my current fave red Pertaringa Understudy Cabernet Petit Verdot.

Various 8 ball games ensued.

2nd course consisted of:

2 slices of toasted bread

1.5 eggs well done

150grams of bacon

smokey bbq sauce

Followed by various Wii games.

Result = win :P

Nice wheels, good fitment and plenty of dish - I like a lot Matt!

Thanks Andrew. Didn't want anything crazy in terms of fitment, so stuck with mild offset and width. I did want reasonable rubber on the thing though - R888's provide more grip than I was expecting!

Really impressed with the new QFM K750 pads too. Switched from Greenstuff to the K750's and what a difference straight up. Did a bit of bedding in and ran some kays on them today and then hit them hard. Even with the braided lines, slotted rotors, and fresh RBF660, I can tell the pads are the big improver.

Really liked the sound of your arvo too mate :P

I run the R888's and the QFM A1RM's at the track and boy do they work well. Im very impressed with both.

    • 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.
