Well, we got the idea from the SAU-Vic DECA days.

Part 1: everyone knows we commonly refer to the Victorians as "Mexicans," and we're North of them, as are Texas, California, New Mexico and Arizona in the States. Seeing as Texas is the most often related to when discussing sharing food, culture, etc. with Mexico, as well as the majority of the border in comparison to the other US states, it was easiest to use this as a reference to us in NSW.

Part 2: the event we hold is based on motorkhana-style runs on a skid-pan, with a hill-climb thrown in for good measure.

Add parts 1 and 2: Texas + Motorkhana = Texi-Khana.

do they have helmets for hire there?

if not is there any places on the northern beaches i could grab one?

and it's long sleeve clothing yeah?

Yup long sleeve t-shirt and long pants.... not sure on helmets but you can buy a cheap one for $100... if your going to do a couple of track/drag days its prolly worth investing in one :)

ah spewing bout the helmet :dry:

Any tyre shop like tyrepower or such can do sway bars

Apparantly they aren't that hard to install

As a tip - Id have the front on hard and rear on medium

otherwise if you want some dorri action - front to soft or medium and rear to hard :)

That's interesting to know James.. I will give them a ring and speak to them.

I know a couple of people who work there.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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?
