Yeh that was me mate, Ash's old car. Sounded fkn brutal, I think it's in a million pieces inside. None of the gears work properly apart from reverse.

She was going so well that night too, shit happens!!

Thanks for stopping by mate!

Going well is an understatement...I saw you blow away more than a couple of those tough cars

hmm everything dodgy seems to be in East these days.

Yeah I know, only got myself to blame though, shoulda checked it thoroughly, now I'm stuck in this mess what can ya do but try and make the best of it.

still sorting things out borci. let us know how you go

Will do, might get an RACV inspection on a shell (still has engine in it currently), how are they on inspecting chassis? That's all I really wanna know anyway...

forget RACV

hit up stateroads

ask for the inspector to call you prior to the inspection and explain exactly what you are looking for.

they do paint dept checks and everything to let you know the issues.

saved me on 2 cars before the one I bought.

major body on one and engine on 2nd.

3rd (which I had a deposit on already as I was sure was a good car) the inspector told me the facts, (couple very minor cosmetic repairs) fuel pump on the way out, that it.

wish I had one of those on that POS that I call a mustang...sure they would have found the 2-3 inches of bog in certain areas.

Essentially I would only need a body inspection? Which is only $125.

Farking dodgy sellers...

My lesson was less costly (purchased 4 x Nismo 555s for $350, that turned out to be standard WRX injectors), but I'm much more thorough now and check absolutely everything I can before buying anything. If someone tries to rip me off again they're gonna know about it.

Nothin yet :( seller gets back to Melbourne on Friday so I might be able to get 3-4k back out of him, but otherwise I'm f**ked lol. Guess that's what happens when you rush into things.

What happened man?!

    • 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?    
    • 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.
