Well I heard a rumour that Hanson from x-speed was going to buy this car when it first came into Australia but looked at it and engine leaked oil and gearbox was shot.

But thats 3rd hand info.....dunno how true it is. I guess the guy should give Hanson a call and find out. Hope its not true for his sake.

But yeah it has a way angry clutch so it might just be that.

the guy he bought it off cant afford his school fees at uni and because his dad is paying for it his dad told him to sell the car and do his honours....then he is going back to singapore... but thats just what the guy told me....

clutch definately needs adjustment....evo r put a new clutch in but put the wrong fork or some shit i'll let you know as wee find out info but pete figured if it just needs a new clutch or some shit like that then its still a cheap gtr....

      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?

      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.
