Thought i'd say hi to all :D

I've just moved down from Brissy, and I'm living in Thornbury. If you recognise my car around, toot and say hi, or whatever :D

A bit of help for the newbie pls :rofl:

Where's the good driving at? (I'm a fan of mountains)

Where are the racetracks?

Can anyone tell me names of car clubs are devoted to track days?

Good workshops around thornbury area?

Good panel beaters/paintshops?

Best Tyre place around (& alignments)?

Performance stores around?

Thanks heaps :D

Michael

Thornbury... only 15 mins (if that) from me and a few other western-side members :D

there is PLENTY of good places for a fang out our way, and definitely a lot out east way too.

We have regular cruises... so watch the EVENTS SECTION.

Myself or Snowman are doing the organising so come along to the next meet.

Race track - (well drag strip) for you is Calder Park Raceway.

Located on the Calder Highway, im up there from time-to-time.

Car Club - We are a car club in vic (almost).

For track days. NDSOC do them... but we are doing some affiliation etc.

Discussion is still going on, and info will be provided shortly.

Workshops - Plenty.

One of the forums members, Dr_drift works in Coburg.

My car goes where he goes, so yeah, he knows his stuff.

There is a Dyno Day at his place of work in 3 weeks (see events section)

Tyres/alignment - I can ask around. I've never had a need yet.

My car will be on the road, and i'll be going for a burn down our Great Ocean Road (good drive)

Your more than welcome to come along with me and a few others.

Thanks to all for the welcome :(

I saw a black 33 today (don't know what st I was on) around 3-4 near Brunswick st somewhere. I gave a wave but no reply :

I'll keep my eyes on the event's section and tag alog to an upcoming cruise - so keep your eyes open for the endangered white 32 ;) what is with that. I've only seen one 32 since I've been in VIC and that was when I was down over the new year in Box Hill?? :confused:

I'm a bit worried about what may be coming in the mail from NSW from the drive down : nothing major - if anything maybe 10kph over or something, but still could be bad if there are a few.

Question: If a speed camera in VIC takes a snapshot during the day, would I see the flash? how would I know (aside from a letter in the mail)?

R31Nismoid : well i guess it's all happenin' on the wesss-i-ee-da ;p thanks for the info, and I should be at the dyno day. Apparently Coburg's only a few minutes away from home :)

ylwgtr2 : thanks :D where is lake mountain and the black spur? how far out of town...

INASNT : I've never really thought about it, but here's my guess - a small city slapped in the middle of Nucking Fowhere ;) - just like vegas...

doxximus : H-pattern? - what they can defect you for that?!?

R31_Gurl : thanks...I think they've already scared me but I'll stick around for as long as I have a license ;) (2 weeks hahaha)

riggaP : shibby, I'll see you around :) that wasn't u today was it

See you all around,

Michael

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      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?
