Spoke to some old work mates that are still working there.

Apparently the doors are closing tonight and not re-opening until they figure out what is going to happen.

That place has been going downhill for the past 3 years so it's not that surprising.

It probably didn't help him when strathfield car radio went under and he had something like $50m invested in it

It's been a tough game in automotive dealerships over the last few years.. The super groups like AHG are taking over and squashing most of the competition. My company had 20 or so dealerships a number of years ago, but we've pulled out and sold them all off completely now. Finance is where the money is at - unsurprisingly.. :teehee:

i think your pretty silly not to buy privately and with your own savings anyway, so no sympathy for this guy even though he always had some nice eye candy in his windows..will miss that i guess.

Surprisingly the place i used to work for is only expanding with dealerships...odd...and AHG tower over them

Recent home conversation probably ends up like this...

Mrs D: What happened dear?

Rick: Those damn grey import importers! Every 10th car is a Skyline!

Or an Evo. The new Skyline of the aussie market.

P.S. Someone hook me up with some high roller finance job!

      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?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      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.
