I had a very interesting story for a little bit ago.

On my way home from my parents place. Recently had been to the drags at Heathcote. Car had Mickey Thompsons on the back, no backseat, no passenger seat + all my actual mods. Blanket laid out in the empty space with my Dog sitting on it. Driving down the back road sitting on 50 in a 60 zone (lol I was in no rush to get anywhere).

Unmarked SS drove past and did a U turn. I freaked a bit cuz I could easily think of a dozen things I could potentially have been in strive for. Got pulled over. "How are you going? I pulled you over because I saw the shiney intercooler in the front bar" He had a quick glance at the car and said "been on the track recently have we?". By this stage I was packing it. He got me to pop the bonnet. Had a look went straight to the boost control bleed. Said he could do me for it but wasn't going to. Just told me to get rid of it and that I may get something in the mail. Also mentioned that I should get the cooler engineered for safety reasons in case I was to crash. Proceeded to tell me how he pulls people up in Melbourne all the time that are Wankers and think they know everything and how he gives them fines.

Waved me on and wished me a good weekend.

Actually wasn't a bad bloke. Could have got me for a fair bit really. I guess because I did nothing stupid he didn't feel the need to make a big deal of everything. I can only wish that he was thinking that because I use a track that I was more responsible. But who really knows what another person is thinking?

Being pulled over for not indicating on a lane change when i was going round a car who was turning right. I even gave it gate when the unmarked cop car was behind me. They just looked at my tyres and left me on my way with a two point fine and $200 fine.

Pulled over for driving a skyline with p plates at 3-4am.. 4 times in an hour :P Which was lots of fun considering I left my license at home and had to explain it each time

1. cop car pulls over on the side of the road and waits for me to pass then an "rbt"

2. undercover xr6t pulls me over not 5mins later.

3. Parked at maccas when 2 cops come into the store and asked whos driving the skyline, rbt (yes an rbt in the middle of maccas as i ate my cheeseburger)

4. Filling up at BP and a cop car pulls in and approached me, as my back p plate had flipped over to the red side in the wind. Spent a while explaining i was a green p plater, rbt etc..

all up no fines or defects though and all of the police were polite to me

    • 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?
