That is what stopped me from buying MA61 and MA70 Supra back then, read too many stories about them blowing h/gasket.

Okay just messaged my mate and he said, what you said is true.

But you just need to get the head resurfaced and possibly block, run a cosmetic steal head gasket and some arp head studs, and then it should hold well after that :thumbsup:

thinking about it.... but see below post

Ah fair enough.

Excellent, I know something about 'yotas....

Now that is sorted.

Need Panasports and it'll be fap-worthy.

SAU is not a vicroads authorized club for club permit scheme,

and I cannot see this changing as there is not much need considering most ppl's cars here are not more than 25 years old.

I don't think you'd ever want most people cars on club reg, too much headache.

Given its two years til r32s become eligible, now is probably a good time for SAU to sign up with only a handful of people wanting club reg, easier for the club to come up to speed with all the requirements.

I'd be worried if the gasket was cosmetic :P

Grant/Leigh - thanks

Fun riding a bike? First time?

Yea first time. They made me start on a scooter which was a waste of time but good fun. Then got me a bike, was trickier than I thought, stalled it couple times but got the hang of it by the time they started testing. Definately going for 1.5 hour courses to practise gear changing before I go out on the road.

yeah. please do. so i know if i do get one. how much i'm up for.

doing research before another potentially stupid purchase...

Normally your looking at about $2k-2.5K parts and labour including cleaning, checking and resurfacing of the head.

Though I'm sure you have chit chat with him and talk specifics I'm sure you'd be able to make a deal with him ~$1.5K for the job.

I'd be worried if the gasket was cosmetic :P

My bad... though..could go Cosmetic as they say Maybelline because you're worth it

Edited by blah_blah

Hahaha scooters are underrated. Good idea on the practice sessions, better to get these things downpat, one less thing to worry about when you get out on the road with cars. Everything becomes second nature very quickly.

hi, i have a t5 out of an xr8 that has a possible snapped input shaft.. will you still take the box? this is the only damage.. no cracks in the housing etc.... if you will would it be a lower price etc? i am in south as. can you give me a close price..?

    • 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?    
    • 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.
    • 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.
