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

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
