You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Yeah Alvin, bought Bel's old car. For me, bronze is a little bit hit and miss on silver. Took a pic in japan of a white 33R with bronze xd9 and looked epic though!

I kept trying to convince Brandon to sell me his LM GT4s but I think that'll never happen lol

Gunmetal XD9s do look nice on silver as well actually, there was a pic of one at Sandown on my

comp but the angle of the pic didnt display the wheels very well. I'll have a tinker on PS again to see what it'll look like.

Was originally quite firm on either TE37SL resprayed black or black LM GT4. But now the more I look at it, seems like

33Rs look better with some dish which both of these wheels tend not to have much of..

Yeah for the Te37 range of wheels need 19's to get the dish

White Work XD9 on silver 33GTR work well? Had a little fiddle around on PS before cos I couldn't find any other silver 33 gtr with white xd9's.

My car looks 95% similar to this car. Excuse the front lip as I don't know how to use photoshop.

Oh cheers for the comparison pic, see the bronze actually looks pretty good there :)

What kind of silver is it? If it's later model KR4, go bronze. If it's light-ish silver go dark gunmetal.

Panasports ftw

I want it back :( hell, I want a GTR again.

Agreed on TE37's being played out, although haven't seen people jumping on TTA edition (Tokyo Time Attack) could it be a sign that TE's aren't fashionable anymore?

So what's the update on the car and your plans?

I considered buying the car when it was up for sale

Bought -9s, mines front pipe, 3" test pipe, tomei ti catback, nismo twin plate and greddy profec b spec 2.

Still yet to buy pfc but its just a matter of time. The car came with Racepace cam gears so I'll

put them onto the new engine, which should arrive from Japan in about a months time.

Suspension, brakes, diffs etc will be attended to once money starts flowing again.

The car is actually a very nice example, went to see a lot of 33s before buying this one.

The others were all very tired and this one seemed to be the most genuine.

Happy Friday everyone, any plans for the weekend?

I'm going to be replacing my Intake Manifold Gasket on Saturday... going to be so much fun :|

And Sunday going to be finishing off my frankenstein rear end with the freshly rebuilt R230 1.5way and GTR Drive Shafts... but still with GTST rear hubs... (hubs are a little smaller than the gtr ones, so going to have to join the gtst splines to the gtr shafts at the CV Joint, urgh)

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      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

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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?
