Bride + low mount rail = epic win.

I look like a little kid sitting in my car with a Bride Brix (recliner) and superlow rail in there, but theres so much head room even with a helmet on. Also, being a drift orientated seat, they are designed to hold you in place during crazy transitions, nothing short of rolling the car will see you move in the seat (my leg didn't even hit the trans tunnel when I crashed, and I was doing at least 50 kays backwards when I hit :))

Only bad thing about my Bride is it's a right pain in the arse to get in and out of, the side bolsters are so goddam high :P

as for helmets.........in a car, $50 (open face) at Hyperformance Cycles............on a bike, consider spending up to 10 times that amount

Face face might be better in the event of a crash, but if you're tight for $, then an open face will do for now.

Peter Stevens in the city have a huge range of lids.

If you're after a race seat, will you also need a harness?

Nah, coz I only want to get a racing seat just for the fact that i'll able to mount it lower and give me a bit more head room.

But I was just thinking, Does anyone know if it's possible to put 34gtr seats in a 32? Spose i'd have to get different rails....

I got a pair of brand new Velo's for my car. They're on Jacobson Crst. Holden hill. They have every seat they make available for testing in the showroom.

They're also ADR approved, my car went through regency with them without a problem. They also do ADR approved harnesses.

Not sure on retail. The guys there are good mates. If you tell Adrian that Kevin sent you, he might look after you, or charge you more for knowing a knob like me :(

And cheers, I need someone to buy it though :(

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      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

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      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?
