Still find it crazy that cars like this were actually built for everyday driving in the 30s/40s

Love this car

Top figure for six cylinder was mine with 620hp on pump fuel in qaulifying and 616 in finals. Was hoping for over 800 this year but due to a local machine shop which i won't name i could only manage this figure.

I had a crank let go 3 weeks prior to summernats due to being machined like an egg with one thou out of round ( should have listened to you amaru you were right about the machinist)and also valve float issues which limited power up in the revs.

Made 40kw more on 20psi from last year with 430kw on 20psi so is lookin good for the 800 on pump

Not many big hitters this year due to some failures.

Biggest horsepower figure for the weekend was a holden ute with a 540 cube twin turbonetic thumper turbos and methanol runnin 1939 hp

    • 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.
