Read up on it when I bought rays lightweight wheel nuts.. Apparently a saving of a few grams is multiplied a fair bit when it's unsprung..

My 18" TE's with 265's were still light as fuark

Gotta do what you can when you're a monster like yourself ey Dezz? Lol

Look up un-sprung weight..

Dezz, you get my PM?

no. just i reckon i might have them mate with a curb, and i wouldnt want to do that to real TE's

Shit driver, jk! :rofl:

powerfc / new coilovers / clutch / turbos

are the things im looking at right now

but i want everything! lol :P

I figured the previous owner would have done all that...

People can roll on what ever (Genuine / Fake) just don't boast about it if they are fake.

Can I brag about my $1200 D1Rs lol? They are real!

Real/expensive lightweight wheels are what you put on a track car when you're trying to save every gram of weight from it because you've already done all you legally can to get power out of your engine. And 16kg is a LOT of weight to save on a track car, so then it's worth the $4k. I know people who remove useful bolts from their cars in an effort to save weight lol.

You also use real on the track because a lot of fakes or cheap wheels have balance issues at speed. Some, like my Lensos will shake/vibrate the wheel at 100km/h and there's nothing you can do to balance it...it's annoying but manageable on the street, so I'd go fakes every time, but that's me. Others will pay for a guarantee against these issues and it's not like they lose a huge deal of money on sought after pricey wheels.

I'm saying they suck because ones getting repaired because of a pissy little pot hole.

Shoulda paid a little more and got some quality rims.

My very real and rather expensive Advans got lunched by a pothole too...got nothing to do with cheap rims.

nah ash is selling TE's im pretty sure.

yeh because you bought ROTA pieces of shit

Rota/ varrstoens, same shit.

I'm not pissed cause they only cost me a grand but you wouldn't expect them to crack over such a mild pot hole.

Oh well. LMGT1s for the 32

    • 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?
