just while on the subject of jacks, a mate of mine has one with a little foot lever on the side next to the handle. it jacks it up like pumping the handle, but it does it faster (and therefor has less lifting force) but it means that when you slide it under the car, you just stomp on it a few times and it has raised it up to be touching the car and taking up some of the slack of the suspension. it is excellent for if you have slide the jack under the car a bit and can only move the handle a little way. you just reach under, pump the little lever a few times and the jack is touching the body, then you can use the handle to start lifting the car.

where are the jacking points on an r34gtt? and where do the jack stands go? (front and rear)

Should be on the inside side of either gaurd, look for a section that is a bit wider and had a bit more bracing than the rest.

Other jacking points are the diff at the rear and the Engine crossmember for the front.

I've had a set of Pro-lift stands from Repco for a few years, spent the majority of that time with a mate's 32GT-R up on them (thing was standing on them a good couple of years) with no problems, and they're the ratcheting ones.

I just got a nice big ass Hydrolic Jack this week. From Supercrap Auto. They had a sale on.

It is a proper heavy duty jack that ican be rebuilt. Retails at $200 reduced to $89.

The sale was only last weekend but if you look online there could still be some available.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.
