Its a fairly faint brown light, hard to see in bright sunlight. Top Left of dash.

I didnt know i had one either, until one day i thought i was going run out of fuel, and then the fuel light came on for the first time - since then, ive worked out i have at least 30-40kms after the light comes on.

^^ Same here - one night i just kept driving around with the needle pointed on E (and the needle actually moves just under the E notch). I was pretty worried that i would run out sooner or later, and just as i rocked up to the traffic lights before the next servo i planned to stop at, the little orange icon lit up in the top left of the dash. I was cheering, I didnt think it had a fuel light at all.

Fuel light will come on when you're on E or just below. When it first comes on you still have a good 10L left (at-least), though you may find around corners your fuel fails to feed and you might chug a little! Haha.

But yeah, the fuel gauge is very lenient, it gives you heaps of warning. :D

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      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.
