Next step, we replace that front bar... :P What boost is it currently running at Rob?

10 on stock turbo.

Frontbar will be done along with bonnet

But next maybe exhaust get rid of those holes or replace the exhaust.

Today was a good day (Friday)

Drove to Grants got lost trying to find a atm, then got lost again trying to navigate the streets where grant lives.

That aside i now have a Apex Hybrid Return Flow intercooler

That looks like a rb20 fmic with a custom pipe to make it fit.

I have the exact same fmic but mine bolted straight up without that extra shiny pipe.

How much it set you back?

Well it was Rob Forbes' ex track car... and he did a hideous backyard respray of the front bar before sale, with what looks to be zero prep to the surface. Paint is chipping off like he didn't even wash it down before painting it.

Rest of the car isn't too bad... mainly just the bonnet and front bar.

    • 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.
