As far as I am aware the car has also been in a accident of some sorts recently. I dont know the full details but I would speak to bambam privately about it. Before anyone flames me for it I think its only fair as manual did ask for the history on this vehicle.

manual - I think that you'd best ask bam about it. he's an honest guy.

I dont think that starting a thread on an internet forum about a guy is a particularly good way to buy a car.

After reading this and then re-reading the original post i can see a way to misinterperate what i was trying to achieve - it wasn't my intent

cheers again all - hopefully i can cruise with you lot in a new line REALLY soon!!

Hey Manual,

 

You don't happen to drive that Silver Magna with the plates [MANUAL] do you ?

Currently yes - but I am hoping to put those plates onto a Black line in the near future!!

I believe we cruised together at one stage - if you are part of the RICE guys!!

I got into the 14's up the strip in a FWD Family car - but now i want something a lot quicker, RWD, an yeah - a lot more sexy looking :P

Insurance Broker is the way to go ...... i checked out Just Car n Famous ...... $2.8K i dont think so ..... went thru insurance broker got fully comprehensive for less than what i pay on my parents policy. Funny thing is the insurance company they signed me with CGU i rang them an hour before the Brokers rang them and they said they dont insure imports ...... so going thru a broker definately will open up doors.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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.
