okay, back to school for me, make that 600.

"The vehicle would have to be brought back to stock standard for compliance under the new import scheme so is best suited for import as a race car -- although compliance is technically possible given the time, effort and funds."

- that would just defeat the whole purpose wouldn't it.

i know.. i am in love, and R32 GTR is her name :) I just love the little touches the japanese put on the cars when they fully tune them, in the engine bay and things like that.

Such a pity such cars can't be brought into the country anymore like that. Returning that thing to stock would be a crime ! No doubt it will go to NZ or somewhere like that, where they are not so stupid about their import laws.

What I am wondering though, is it possible to achieve the same thing in Australia with the right amount of $ for a similar price of around $60k? Take a base GTR of say $20k (89 vehicle) and throw $40k at it, reckon you would get close to 1000hp ?

Some big power gains are starting to be had down under from GTR's - there probably will be more and more GTR running around reaching those 800hp and built here over the next few years I'd say.

...and those that claim the PowerFC isn't as good as the haltech, microtech and all those units can shut their cakehole :)

Yes mate! Yes! A bit of lateral thinking, and it`ll happen.

Aren`t any of the Import Performance shop owners (in Australia of course!!!) interested in it?

      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?

      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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      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.
