I thought I would steal Fast Fours idea and put up a Kill Stories thread on Skylines Australia too ;) A place to post your recent kill stories.

Private property of course :D

Just had some mad fun up and down the Great Western Raceway (GWR).

Came across a silver 89 model predule with a stainless exhaust tip and black rims (had a G.P.C. performace sticker on the back??) Didn't think too much of it, gave it a boot and to his credit the thing went pretty good, only had him buy about 2-3 car lengths

If anyone knows anything about this car then I would love to know what is done to it, it was chirping 3rds

We had a couple of more races with the same results.

Then we came across a blue Nissan Gazelle with a fugging huge front mount.

Raced about 5 times and beat him every time, however he seemed to have huge top end cause I chopped him thorugh 1st and 2nd but he started pulling back in 3rd. Must of been an aftermarket turbo cause he was spooling like a bitch

Anyway was a good night :)

Driving through Tamworth one night there was a VT/VX with black windows and big chrome mags. I just thought it was a standard V8 till I found him beside me doing 60, then he just lit the thing up.... I was like wtf. Then he took off and nearly ran into the arse end of some old granny. After that I kept my distance.

Same night I had a run against a orange RX3/808 or capella, I dont know my rotaries that well, and was he kept climbing up to the line to egg me on, soon as it turned green I dropped it and got away pretty quickly, beat him by a mile.... but when he caught up he revved his car up to make the BOV go off...

    • 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.
