Hey burgie.

A car is a liability which most of us here choose to purchase coz of our passion. The thing is that after purchasing a car, there are alot of factors to consider like what adzmax said. u really have to be on top of it when it comes to maintaining the car if not the list of things to be done will just keep going on and on.

Next thing is that its not nice to owe someone money. u wont have a piece of mind coz in the back of yur head u will b thinkin of "shit man.. i gotta pay tis guy bak" while also thinkin of "dang its time for a service again" or " hmm my o2 sensor is gone". get wad i mean. hope this helps u in makin yur decision :(

Thanks again for your advice guys, gonna buckle down with my studies and work to save up at least 10k and look around plenty, seen a couple for 8 that seemed pretty good so hopefully that kind of deal will still be around later down the track, i will then be able to pay up the costs, and presuming my studies go fine you never know, a GTR might be a few years away :D

Good man. That's the right attitude to have.

To give you some idea of why it's not great to pour all the money you have into cars - I've been working full time for ~6 years and I have one heavily modified car, one fairly stock car and a loan hanging over my head. The cars are all I have to show for it.

    • 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?    
    • 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.
