You're very kind Liam. Hope you had a great day! I rolled up at about 11 thinking that all the tarmac spots would surely be taken. Our family only wished to stay for a couple of hours because Maria wa

exiting corner and the rear slid out unexpected and the road was a little patchy and moist, so it oversteered heaps towards a parked truck so i counter steered and the car then did a 180 and slid straight into the kerb then onto the grass then all was lost as the grass was thick and wet aka slippery as ice. i basically blacked out after that..

once i got out i realised the car slid between 3 or 4 trees (quite a narrow gap) then got sideways and the rear (where the petrol tank and driver side wheel is) slammed into the tree prettty hard which spun the car the other way til eventually we stopped.

couldnt believe it. it's about as unlucky as u can get. basically dont know what to do or say. i just hope no one else loses their car like this..

front of the car is still fine except the front bar, but the impact with the tree on the rear ***ced everything up - chassis got bent but the front half -basically from the driver side up is fine, and the other side of the car is fine too. wheels were all pointing in diff directions except the front passenger side) that's all i saw in the dark til it got towed away.

sorry to hear rukus...you yourself sound pretty lucky.

hope ur ok.

yeah.

any deviation from the path it took on the grass could of been deadly..

if the tree hit a foot to the right, then i would of gotten slammed pretty hard, but i got lucky i suppose... :

now i just hope 'just cars' covers the car..

saw a black r33 gtst with gtr bodykit and some nice looking wheels (CRO22Z)... thought i would get to see the back end of the car for quite some time coz the cars on epping road at around 2pm today weren't moving at all for some reason... BUT the driver decided to put on a fabulous display of handbrake u-turn at one of the traffic light and went back the way he came...

my question is.... was that really necessary in front of all those cars???????????? (people in the next car were shaking their heads...)

good to see you both were able to walk away!  so sad that the line is in such a state, but its worth the price for both your lives....

be safe peeps!

anyways, i think i might go for an r32 next. after driving a skyline, i dont think i can settle for just any old car :)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
