need an answer to this quick:

Took my car to Beaurepairs to get my front wheels balanced! they finished and when I went out the guy tells me that one of my $250 kics nuts has been threaded and same as the stud on the spacer. Is there anything I can do? He told me they were hard to get off so he had to get them off by hand and it was f**ked already....

do NOT accept this.

look for signs of scratching on the nuts and see if they used the gun and then call head office and complain

tell them you EXPLICITLY directed them not to use a rattle the gun and they did due to nothing but laziness.

you want a new set of kics nuts or the $350 (retail) to replace them. also a new stud or spacershould be paid for

just go HARD

annoying knocking noise coming from one of the rear coilovers what does that mean? no leaks as far as i can see...

chek your bushes? Mine made knocking noises from the front due to worn rosejointed bushes

Give the tops and crack with a spanner.

Do you have a rear strut bar? That could have come loose.

Wheel nuts..

hmmmz

Wheel nuts..

you mean tighten the tops? they are..

no rear strut bar

wheel nuts are fine

old coilovers were a bit noisy but that was coz i had removed the helper springs and compressed the springs. these HKS ones are louder

    • 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?    
    • 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.
