I'm gunna go to the dyno day instead I think...

As much as I would love to go back to Rocky for the weekend... 4 years there is enough to make you never want to go back...

I stayed there for a year one day :(

I now know what the scariest feeling in the world is when driving.....................

now bit of history, I had just inherited Nexus9's carbon fibre gear knob.

ok driving back along logan road, there is a stretch which no cops can sit and is newly paved and I know the road as I have driven it many times

there is one set of lights and it was red, so i stopped, a commodore pulled up next to me and started reving the guts outta it, it looked like a stock VN so I just smiled and brought rpm's up to around 2.5k

Light went green, of course i was basically across the set of lights before he even moved :(

So went to snap second, and low and behold what "looks" like the whole gearstick comes off in your hand!!!!!!!!

now its in neutral, so I stop and turn the interior light on, just the gearknob, wow scared the living crap outta me!!

    • 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.
