Ok So I've got a Tomei 3 point front strut brace for my 33.

I was just wondering what sort of bolts I should use to mount it to the firewall and if I should add any additional bracing to the firewall?

Edit: Also does anyone know where I might be able to source a replacement Tomei badge?

As I bought it second hand and it didn't come with one.

Cheers,

Michael

well they usually come with two cap screws (M8 from memory) that just bolt into existing holes on the firewall. you need to find out what size and thread those holes are and buy bolts to suit. as for the tomei badge you'll have no luck there. the strut brace themselves have been out of production for ages and even when they were I doubt they sold replacement stickers for them. there is no need to add any additional bracing. it's more for looks than anything. it's not like your firewall will suddenly be subjected to any huge forces.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      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.

      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.
