Going by website they only go up to 9.5 like I have with the advans now though? 9.5 is preferable for me if only bc I can use the rubber I already have again. Unless u know where to get dirt cheap tyres too? Lol I might give him a call

cas, has vicroads given you a cheque yet? you're gettin all mohsen on us now. horse before cart n all that. give em a quote for the replacement of the wheel that was damaged only, and IF they pay you (which I doubt) then start looking for wheels. No point getting yourself pointlessly into more debt.

reason I ask shan is because I've looked everywhere to quote a replacement and can't find an 18" in any width for the life of me ergo I need new wheels as a necessity no matter who pays for them. I'm trying to get all the info I can get prior to speaking to vicroads so they can't catch me unawares and pull dodgy shit on me. Being informed is not being mohsen. I thought ud argue it's quite the opposite :P

lol jk mohsen

yeah but you have a better chance of a payout if you gave them a quote for one hypothetical wheel replacement rather than a higher quote for a full set of replacement wheels. I don't think Vicroads will care if you can get them or not.

Having dealt with insurance companies when putting together quotes for the workshop, it's not wise to overquote as they might go into full out deny deny deny mode.

Just sayin.

Trust me i wish i could quote them less than I'm having to do at this stage. Even if they have to only pay for one of the four I'm going to have to buy I'm at wits end here- how can I quote a price on a wheel I can't buy because nobody makes or has them anymore? I can't. But if I want any kind of assistance I need to be able to bring some figures to the table per se. For the record import monster just quoted me 1850 for four cr kais new. not bad comparitively with other wheels. I've emailed streeter this morning. Import monster also have said pretty much no effing way am I gonna find an advan anytime soon.

    • 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?
