Well on the weekend had to make an emergency trip out to dubbo...anyway went through mudgee, wellington etc...the whole time i was down there...i saw 1 (thats right...1 import) and that was in mudgee on the way back yesterday.

I know of at least 1 member on here (raps86) lives in bathurst...and i used to live there..

I'm just curious if there's any other country ppl with imports?

Steve's Auto Barn

...owned by Steve Philips is at Blackheath. Good name!

He services Nissan Imports (as well as other cars) in the local area and...

He had one of his cars on the front cover of Zoom Mag. called 'Buster'. It's now owned by his head mechanic Wayne.

He himself owns an R34 GT-R. He hoisted my 2 cars up for inspection at point of sale/purchase.

He also has a new 4WS wheel alignment section (albeit 2 yrs old now).

Bus. No. is 47877172

While I don't live out west any more (not since I was 5 any way :P), a few times a year I drive to Gilgandra or a property near Burren Junction.

I have to say, the Skyline handles the roads to and from these places no problem, providing I don't get rained in. 2WD + mud = epic fail lol

ive just moved out west for a while to a place called orange and its full of imports. But it is kinda pointless being a small town and all as the cops are always harrasing ya and theres no where you can really go for a cruise.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
