You mean low car friendly?

I have coilovers but it's not ridiculously low so I don't scrape shit, have no dramas with the carpark at Perth station. Throw a button clutch and a 2way into the mix though, and carparks are always an exciting adventure :(

last time i drove a car with a button clutch was a hire car nissan pulsar i think about 2yrs ago, that thing was a disgrace haha dropped a good skid tho especially when u were just trying to take off normally.

yeah didnt even leave first gear, had about 10 cars waiting behind me last night, was good times.

excellent feed back. cheers for ur input guys.

*Note to self, never go in there again.

im running hks coilovers, and get in and around cbp fine.

although i dont have my coilovers at a extreme low. just take it slow up the ramps and it gets over them fine.

my car is pretty damn low, have GAB Sports adjustable coilovers and always seem to be able to park at ROE ST CPP all the time no problems, just have to go sideways at every turn... suspension has always been okay

"go sideways at every turn" -- so that was you in Tokyo drift? :)

with lowered suspension and a body kit you're always going to scrape on things

with practice you will learn exactly where the front of your car is and how much of an angle you need to take to get up certain ramps etc

i have also found the car park under the library to be quite friendly

"Go sideways at every turn" I think he just means take the hill at an angle and very slowly.

The Alexander Lib carpark is def more friendly if you can get a park there. Less level changes and still close to everything in Nthbridge.

      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.

      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.
