the kit, wheels, interior and mild engine work... all of the mods combined make the car special.. alot of people throw stuff at cars that dont really go well together... IMHO all mods on this car complement each other and work very well together and thats what makes it special.. the way in which the mods have been carried out all fit in perfectly with each other... not just modded for the sake of modding it

Taken with my trusty old Canon FT QL and some sensia slide film. Scanned using a Frontier lab (blame them for the shithouse colour balance I don't yet have the software to fix) but take a squizz anyway :D

What's so special? How about a custom widebody that keeps all the original lines?

you have obviously never seen this car in real life have you?? lots of people with wide bodies dont bother to get the guards and stuff to meet the head lights, they dont bother getting the rear quarters to meet the tail lights, they merely hang them off the edge so to speak which in my eyes looks good but Greg didnt like that so he made sure everything blended in. Most people to be honest dont even notice its a wide body which in my eyes proves how well everything works. If you knew what sort of panels went into making this kit you would understand, but i dont have the time to type it up. The car is 12cm wider overall and is actually wider than a GTR.......

RB26 S15 :P:);) Now that would be nice, cant wait to drive it :D:D:D

Ido09s, I've met Greg, seen the car in real life and spent over 6hours with it while it was photographed for SPEED magazine. I know what you're talking about, and that's my point. Greg kept the original character lines intact when he built the car while adding some serious girth (enough to get the track as wide as an R33 GT-R)

whats special about the s15 apart from the body kit

ido09s, I'm assuming that Sonic was replying to junkie13's post (as above).

I regret not having taken a better look at it myself now :slap: , it did look good from a distance...

I've added my photos from the day to the SnS Gallery. They're not that special, but they're there.

      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.
