I live in New Zealand and R33 manual GTS25t's here are around $10,000NZD with around 100,000kms and some mods.

I checked on Carsales.com.au and most of the ones on there are around $15,000AUD! WTF

I bought my auto series 2 gts25t for $4700NZD with 122,000kms!

$4k compliance to start with, plus restrictions on the types of cars and models which can be imported which also means there are less of them basically. R33's are worth stuff all here now too due to market saturation of that model

It's also the reason why there are no more domestic car manufacturers (even suppliers) in NZ, it all died because of the lack of restrictions. On the plus side, cheaper cars for you :down:

there never were any large scale domestic auto manufacturers in NZ, and the ones that were there are still there pumping out bespoke stuff.

NZ just didn't have a large enough automotive industry, so all cars had to be imported, thus the regulations on imports and costs of importing are far less than in australia. it adds about 4k to 5k on the price. That cost is negligible at high cost cars, but for cars under 20k, that becomes a significant percentage.

    • 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?
