Wow the costs have really inflated!!

I bought the Front Air Dam about 12 months ago for about $280.00 but had my son who is cabin crew with Qantas bring it back for me.

Hope you will post the piccies when it is all finished.

Does anybody know of a generic rear wing, with a stop light built in, that would fit onto the Coupe Boot???

I would like something that is not over the top. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have seen the ducktail from a Torana on this site and it looks a bit Twee to me was thinking of something like simple like the early Silvias and I just wanted the stop ligh for additional safety. Too many over 70 drivers in Adelaide that dont pick up stop light too quickly.

Appreciate the thoughts though racesov!

Hi all, got my car back from engine builder the other day. I now have the heavily ported Brock heads, Edlebrock Performer manifold and a H226 crane cam that makes the car sound like a drag car. I'm very pleased with the outcome as it's still very streetable and it revs nicely with those Yella Terra roller rockers. The heads had to be shaved 100 thou to get compression up as the bottom end is stock 308. in time I'll rebuild it with flat tops and get comp up to about 10;1. Feel like I should be writing this on Aussie V8 website. I'm going to do another vid for utube soon if anyone interested.

      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?

      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.
