The black R34 could have been me. Havent lived in Canberra long but yet to see another black 34. Seen heaps of Skylines around, wish I knew about this thread earlier on.

(since I haven't seen you post before) WELCOME! haha I've seen a couple of black GT-Ts around, though not very frequently at all. We've got a couple of yellow ones, few white ones, few silver ones...not sure what other colour R34s I might have seen around though.

I have gone sideways at a round-a-bout. Needless to say, I did 40km/h the rest of the way home. I'll be curious to know if your revs went to redline which then made your turbo swirl you around more or if you clutched the whole time.

(I hope that made sense, because I don't even know what I said :D )

:laugh: turbo swirl

Usually when people get sideways by accident, it's because it's wet and they haven't learnt trottle control in a powerful rear wheel drive car.

My interests quote allows me to look silly ! :(

Given it's wet though, your tires would spin a lot faster (No traction) so your revs would be like shooting up a lot quicker given you'd be accelerating to give you spin (kinda). So when I did it in my non turbo Datsun Stanza with rally spec wheels on the back (Hectic) I red lined in half a second due to no friction to grab the tires still. So, I was wondering what it would be like with a turbo giving all that power to the rear wheels and if you'd spin like a crazy man or what.

I seriously need to go into paint to try and make sense of myself haha.

Edit: I made a great paint drawing to describe what I mean, but work won't let me upload it :( Lucky the weekend is coming up. I shall bring my paint skills out again :D

If you accelerate normally or carefully, your tyres shouldn't spin at all.... that's all I'm saying..... it's when people plant it and don't have a lot of experience. Or perhaps if your tyres are total shit lol.

Hahaha YES we need MS paint here!

Hope this helps to explain what I am trying to explain.

Hopefully the review mirror helps explain which way you're facing on the road.

My original question was... would that happen above if you slammed your foot down because of the turbo. (I've only spun a non turbo at a round-a-bout and I spun fairly quick.. I'm imagining how quick your RPM would redline because of the turbo).

I'm so confusing myself again!

You would bounce off the rev limiter, bounch off the gutter, crap yourself and have a look on your face like this.

I'm guessing Swirl = Spool? :laugh:

    • 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.
