I took the caster rods out last night, they are rooted. The steel sleave in the drivers side bush just falls out, and the passengers side has a 2mm gap all the way round. We thought the bushes were stuffed, but didn't realise how bad they were.

How will you adjust if you use the genuine ones mate?

Not adjust them, I think them not moving is better than being able to adjust them. When Berry was down a few years ago, he was saying how much better new genunine bushes are then whiteline etc

Head back where it belongs

Damo and I took to the exhaust ports with a die grinder.

Most of the stuff is bolted back up to it now, and the block in nice and silver.

Aim is to have it ready for the Legerwood Lane hillclimb on the 29th.

I've blocked one of the oil galleries, and fitted a 1.3mm restrictor to the other one (as per sydney kids guide). Not running a external return from the head at this stage, as most poeple that have done it found it doesn't drain very well. I have also put rb26 cam covers on to help the oil/air separation.

How easy does it stretch? ie does it go on and off easy, so you can work on the car?

    • 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.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
