The race is on to have my car fixed and the interior finished before the meet... I WILL have my car there either way, I'm just hoping it's pretty much finished (roof rails won't be ready, but meh....)...

I here ya.

Got a few things planned for mine when I get back. Hoping most of it can get done in the two weeks I'm home before the meet.

Radiator is fitted, but coolers are not. Either is Thermo fan: had to drive the car for 20 mins to the trimmers yeaterday with no thermos.... surprisingly, even in road works, temp only reached 91deg... Happy with that! Should be trimmed in 2 weeks, then back to the mech for a bit more work: My car will be on the cruise, finished or not.... :)

Ok guys: 2 weeks to go...

I need confirmed numbers of attendees, so we can get the food organised. Remember: $5 each for the Bbq, payable on the day.

So, all attendees please send me a pm confirming how many people you are bringing...

Once again, my mobile# is 0413003013 if you need it (lost/running late etc)

Muchos Gracias,

Hi Guys,

I'll be coming along with my girlfriend at this stage, planning on starting from the Brisbane-Springwood location. I've got a S1 260RS with a few light mods, looking forward to meeting a few new faces and looking at what work you've been doing with your cars.

Cheers,

Adam

Excellent! Another '26 powered car :)

Damn battery guy left the old battery behind the drivers seat, and it subsequently melted a dirty great hole in the carpet! He also managed to dent my freshly resprayed front guard with a shifter. Awesome. NOT. :(

All that aside, I'm still on track to have the car mostly ready for the cruise...

That would send me into a fit if that was my car. Hopefully the guy has insurance and you wont be out of pocket getting it all fixed. Good luck with all your repairs.

Meh: you get used to all the cock-ups after a while: it's one of the many (dis)pleasures of car modification, and if that's the worst thing that goes wrong, then I'm a happy camper: I still need the thermos hooked up, the coolers and guages connected, etc etc etc....

Unless something disastrous happens, We'll be there.

Ipswich guys we should arrange a time to gather and then head south. It'll be early, so early to bed the night before :P

Hi

One Ipswich stagea owner to another you name the place and we will be there with bells on. My daughter’s partner will be coming with us in his 200sx.

Cheers

Phil

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      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

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      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?
