daniel was at home ironing his blose as usual

ha ha tee hee :(

as the vehicle is up for sale at the moment it is pretty much living it's remaining days under my ownership in the garage. It's being cleaned, fussed over and polished, but not really driven.

I've been down the GOR once with the 34, actually stayed at skene's creek (the place up the hills in the trees) - some amazing roads that's for sure... too bad when i went down some of the worst storms in many year passed through the area and Vic (april '08 i think, lots of power outages all across melb and down that way as well) - candles and fireplace were needed at the accomm. Car loved it down there though, ate it up.

Grant, great to hear it was a simple fix. Told you you took it to the right place :rofl:

Yeah the reason I'm going to Trent cos he is very easy to talk to and always helpful with my questions unlike many places.

so there were no metal shavings in the block? that's awesome!

p.s. merowyn say's hi :D

Yeah about one bit of metal shavings on top of piston 3, Peter and I suspected it is spark plug but I'll drain the oil just to be safe. I still have oil pressure which indicates the motor is tight.

Hi Merowyn :D

Will,

Yeah but I had to fork out $680 (2 x towings) for this damn thing.

When I'm going to put the HKS 2510s I've got sitting in my R, I'll replace the rest of clamps just to be safe.

Cheers

i got sick of the cooler pipe blowing off so i went nuts with hose clamps like this. http://www.norma.net.au/norma-gbs.html NEVER lost a pipe since! :blink:

dont use them.... worst clamps ever (read attached link... i bin about 30 a week). T-bolt clamps are a terrible trend started by autosalon dudes who like shiny stuff. Norma make some killer clamps which actually work see this link.

end rant :blink: lol

Trent,

That is quite a rant, these clamps are too chunky for my liking anyway. And you bin about 30 of these a week?!

Will have you to replace the standard ones with the one you put in my R other day when I'm ready to shit my pants with more killerwasps.

Cheers

Wouldn't bigger turbo happen to be one of these 'few things' you need fixed?

    • 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.
