tbf tho, cant see me having another holden anytime soon. clubby hasnt given me any issues, considering its a 12 year old car im very happy, but ive had my big engine phase for a while now.

how do you design a car that goes through wheel bearings every 20-40K

And you need to angle grind the bearings off the hub.

Bring back tapered roller bearings, pack em with your palm full of grease and they go for years.

I'm with you after this one never again.

that bad really?! wow.

my sister focus had a clutch that used to slip real bad... ford wouldnt replace it even tho it was 12000km old, they took it out said there was no signs of wear or anything and put it back in.

guess what.

never slipped again until she sold it 10000km later.

shame about the rest of the car tho, indicator stalks failing, stereo dying, air con f**king up etc etc.

It seems that 3/4 of cars that I see on the road with tail lights out are VE's...

Every single day I go... "ANOTHER ONE!"

It's as bad as seeing a car blow smoke when moving away from the lights, and then going... Yep, it's a Magna...

same with my kia. 2 years old. blows a headlight ever 3-6 months. kia have no idea why.

picked my A5 up yesterday, over the moon with it!

had ceramic pro put on it today, lets hope i never have to use that lifetime warranty!

Shoulda bought a ford brah

jokes

Did you apply the ceramic pro yourself?

Is that some sort of good paint protectant?

Pics brah

ill grab some later :P

its a paint protection which is almost like another clear coat, it dries hard, can only be removed by cut and polish pretty much and comes with a lifetime warranty unlike most other paint protections which are 1 - 3 years.

shows how it works pretty much.

I had Levent from prestige specialist detailing do it.

leroy that sss for 1500...... manual yes? are they all manual?

Ive just asked. will PM you details when I get info, its a bit rough round the edges, but will need half the work the mirca needed (lol)

    • 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?
