mindflux: sounds like it.. basically if you apply light throttle the boost will all leak out and will struggle to hit "full boost" where it should. If you boot it, generally the force will be enough to squeeze air through all the piping even if leaking, but it will still be down on what it should be doing.

I experienced the same a couple of months ago. Ended up being my rubber intercooler elbow had split. Was pissing out heaps of boost (could literally feel it when I put my hand there). I mean I was getting 10psi of boost or whatever it was set to, it just wasn't doing it properly or efficiently and the turbo was working harder than it needed to. Replaced it and fine again.

Went up to DMD and got my front bar fitted today... its straight out of the mould, so in need of some white paint :D Gordo, up for a group buy and panel painting??? haha

Took me 2 hours to get there, thanks to running into cops on the way, I wont go into details on a public forum, I can say though I received 2 seperate fines... Will have to have a chat with everyone tommorow night to work out if I can challenge it all...

as matt said..

hey, just read that last post .. cop trouble huh? doesn't sound good!

yeah, to be honest I wasn't happy with the quality of my sideskirts that came out.. i had to spend an hour or so sanding it back today -- all the rough edges. Somebody said all DMD stuff came "pre-prepared". Not from what I got. Anyhow, will look good when done which is all i'm worried about.

Yeah i was pretty pissed at the run in with the cops, oh well, 15 months or so with a skyline and first time being pulled over :D Not too bad...

I had my bar prepped before I picked it up... seems ok to me, i might touch it up a lil before it get painted...

lol - ok Zen Grasshopper.. that leaves it nice in the open!

Did you have a chance to test fit the bar? Look good? Its very hard to tell until its actually on the car though all painted. My old bar i saw at Palm unpainted but fitted and it looked so-so. When i got it back it was unbelievably shiney and everything :D

I still have to sand the other skirt back tomorrow.. i even had to cut out the "speed" holes in my new sideskirts as they come out of the mould filled. Took a bit of work.

    • 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.
