far out

my 33 costs me $169 a fortnight to run including insurance, rego and fuel

i can get a brand new dualis or cruze for 160 a fortnight on a lease with everything paid for, tyres, servicing, rego, insurance, fuel card etc

that nuts

According to Careerone the average wage for a fully qualified electrician in this perios is $94500 a year

EBA pays more than that, then add in all the allowances and OT :).

Summary on Flynn is my post on the previous page.

cos it just means i get a newer car and dont have to worry about suprise bills etc

rego is annoying when it comes and so is crap like buying tyres etc

to be fair the lease car costs around 330 a fortnight

but the tax benefit translates to -160 a fortnight in my paycheck

You know what mayne i only make $40k a year and very content. Good luck with the sparkie job and landing a EBA or what ever :)

I had to take my US trip on a credit card and looks like i might have to do the same again when i go in the next couple months :)

$160 a fortnight of tax saving you sure? Unless you are in a high tax bracket or do alot of kms salary sacrificing a MV may or may not be beneficial.

yeah ive checked it a few times

the pre tax cost is like 330 a fortnight and after tax is 160

im in a high tax bracket but only do about 15,000 a year

i got my 33 on a novated lease agessss ago and its a bit annoying, but the cost savings is stupid

    • 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  
    • 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. 
    • 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?
