Not sure if its got anything to do with the economic crisis or the public has finally noticed that the price of oil has dropped but not the pump price, but comign home today I was petrol for udner $1 a litre.

Not too long ago it was about 169.9c ish. Not sure how much Premium is but when it was $1.08 Premium was still $1.20 ish.

Might fill up tonight, but everytime I do it just drops more and more. I never thought we'd see it for under $1. Was picturing looking back at photos of pump priced being under $1 and telling everyone how good it used to be, but now thats a reality.

So whens it gonna jump again?

Fking yeah son, bout time our arses were given a break from petty costs. Last I remember it being this like was when I had my 180 a good few years ago.

I'll hopefully be starting pizza delivery in the 32 soon for some extra dosh, good time for petty prices to fall ;)

Yeah take it easy with those Pizzas, 30mins or free is that how it works?

EDIT: seems we are still paying more then Melbourne and Sydney, the only other capitals paying more are Hobart and Darwin ;)

Finally justifiable about the crazy world oil prices and the falling american dollar, not to mention falling australian dollar and the bump for economic growth.

Keep it up Rudd... just until i buy my first home, and then hope for some economic growth ;)

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • 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. 
    • 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?
