Haha I'll reply cause I'm bored too :O

Favourite restaurant... Italian Kitchen in Kaleen ever since Cafe Della Piazza closed :P

Best steak - Charcoal Grill

Fave shop - Portmans!! Welcome to DFO and anywhere that sells shoes, Steve Madden is a very nice addition to Canberra.

Car wash at Mitchell goes alright, always less busy than the Gunners one.

Bestest food van - GSpot!

Fave pubs - All Bar and Kingos

Fav roundabout is that big one near the war memorial at the very end of that road ;)

And Fav online shop is RHD Japan. Lotsa Jap goodies for my car.

Ok everyone else's turn to talk shit now.

Well, I'm procrastinating, so...

Pub? All Bar Nun is close, but if I'm in town there will often be a stop in at PJ's. The Kingo is never a bad place to spend an arvo.

Eat? Agree with Kat above about the Kaleen shop, but since I've moved I've become partial to Mee Sing at the Lyneham shops - CHEAP chinese, always friendly and never a bad meal in an almost weekly visit! Plus they deliver when it rains and I'm lazy :O

Steak? Mine at home, sadly I haven't had a better one in Canberra :P Was pleasantly surprised by Jacksons near Circular Quay when in Sydney a while back though... $14 inc a schooner of Squires and the steak was very tasty.

Shop? Not really my thing, probably Aldi or Bunnings :S

Car? Visit BP every few weeks, Waves Car Wash in Gungahlin is a good enough reason to drive up there every month or so... haven't been to one in Mitchell, might have to check it out as I didn't know there was one there...

Drive? GDE is nice and smooth with my suspension ;) Roads out Mt Stromlo or Uriarra way are nice on occasion...

Mooseheads sucks... Unless you like waiting 20 minutes to order a drink, being surrounded by teenie sl_ts, getting in a fight with a bunch of 18 - 19 year old wankers who have something to prove, then getting home and having to wash the soles of your shoes because you made the mistake of wading through the inch deep lake of urin in the mens toilets. :wave:

LOL ok I shall leave you boys to your randomness >_<

The pancake parlour is so wrong. I was with someone who ordered a steak that came out with a pancake as well (guessing you'd prolly call it a crepe) but savoury or not that's just weird!!!

      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.

      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.
