getting quotes for new tyres for hilux so boss can make a decision... stupid tyre sizes from toyota. 205/80/16. "butter cutters" (apparently). bit pricey for what they are...

Bob Jane tried very hard to sell me 245/70/16 reckons they would fit fine on a 6" wide wheel.

Tyre Factory across the road said 245 shouldnt be chucked on a 6" wide. I dont know if he's right, but theres plenty of people driving hiluxs with stock wheels and 265 wides or bigger on them. is it because such tall profile? or because bogan?

One of the SAU VIC main sponsors is City Discount Tyres Morrabin

Got some cheap tyres over the weekend from him for the daily

Paul is your man to chat to. You may have met him at some of the track days in his Bluebird

thanks for the reminder Toby, I forgot about them. guys there have done me some solid favours. issue is boss wants it done during business hours near dandenong so no use trying to sway him on that one.

i honestly have no idea what speed im doing most of the time

is it just me or is the speedo in a weird spot?

i get revs are more important but yeah i have no idea most of the time

i dont speed a lot, but in general i have to sort look around the steering wheel to check speed

never had an issue, but did initially notice it as a bit annoying with its tiny-ness lol.

This is some serious gourmet shit! Usually, I would be happy with some Seinfeld, but go springs this serious GOURMET shit on us!

I don't need you to tell me how f**king good pulp fiction is ok? I'm the one who watched it. I know how good it is.

But you know what's on my mind right now.. it ain't the movies on go

    • 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.
