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.

Fixed my wind deflectors today. The clip closest to the front quarter panel came off and the tape was dry, so when I was on the Westgate freeway doing 100km half of the wind deflector came off (looking like it was going to fly away). Lucky it managed to stay together.

Had to completely remove the double sided tape (bitch of a job, still couldn't get 100% of it off) and put new tape down. Also adjusted the clips so now it's completely secure ;)

Are you free this weekend? We are doing Go Karts at Ace Karts starting at 10am :)

have one of mine keeps coming off...always looks like going to lose it but never falls right off...

what sort of tape you use...I've tried a couple that didnt last very long at all before it come off again...

I used this tape:

You'll need to clean both the wind deflector and the window rubber properly with some wax and grease remover (or similar) to remove as many traces of the old tape as you can. Make sure the clips are also bent in quite tightly for a flush / secure fit. The tape isn't as strong as the original, but doing those steps will make it stay on pretty securely. How the clips are secured is also a crucial part to how well it will stay on in the future.

oh..mine doesnt have clips, just tape...and yeah i cleaned it down with WnG ....tried some tape form bunnings this time, was like 10$ for a metre and meant to be full weather proof...looks like its peeling up already though

Oh really? Is that the same for all R33's? The tape by itself isn't strong enough

Ha! Yes... I always angle the spray down when I'm pressure spraying the car, otherwise half the water ends up inside since the rubber moves under the spray :P

Should SAUVIC organise another GoCarts day?

Ahhhh ok... Most cars I've been in will throw some water in the window if you put on the sprayer jets and it pushes water to the side of the windscreen with the wipers... A bit more of a lip on the side of the windscreen would be marvelous though.

My issue is if there's water on the roof, after rain, or even overnight dew. As soon as I turn right for the first time, I get half a litre of water coming in my window from above and landing on my arm/door/electric window controls.

Are people allowed to go into that hotel up to the top for fun? Or you need to be a guest/pay etc..?

There is the tourist way to the roof which you have to pay.

Or

You dress sharp and go to the lifts and talk your way into the rooftop bar. Free entry & a nice view.

edit: confirmed couple pages back, mah bad.

Can anyone tell me how/why the two different styles of tail light assembly on the 34 differ? Are they from different series of cars (i.e. a body update)? Or is the second pic shown below a set of after market lights?

Top pic is coupe, bottom pic is sedan, as Martin said.

Coupe rear indicator location within the rings still one of my favorite things about my 34. Pity I rarely get to see it in action 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

      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?
