Well my new GTR survived 16 days and 570km until being damaged.

We left it parked defensively in a quiet carpark for one hour while we had dinner, of course no note left...

I hate some things about human nature!

Thankfully there are 2011 bumpers in Australia at the moment.

If it wasn't a car, that's quite a whack!

Reminds me of receiving my brand new 240K in '77. I drove out to see a friend at his chemist. Out in the carpark, my bonnet received a case of fruit. Car was 2 hours old!

I will have to pay the insurance excess of up to $800.

SGIO have been great I must admit, especially considering insurance is very reasonable at $1600 a year.

Do they allow your choice of repairer or do they want you to use theirs (like AAMI)?

that sucks mate. I can't stand arseholes who damage peoples cars and then act like they didn't notice and just drive off. I would want someone to leave me a note just as I would leave a note if I damaged someone else's car. It's not a big bloody deal. just the right thing to do if you damage someone else's property. even more so if it's a nice car which usually belongs to an enthusiast who takes pride in his/her car.

I do... You mean like this???

I have a camera set up at work that points directly onto my carpark. I have two parking spots and I park directly in the centre. I am certain it pisses people off but I paid for them so I can do what I want with them as far as I am concerned. I should take a screen capture.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      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?
