you had me up until that bit.

if people want a fast 2-door sports car you have to make some sacrifices. and street friendliness is one of them. lol'd at R35 owners bitching about the average ride quality when stuck in traffic. it aint not soccer mum car with blind spots the size of a water buffalo.

Should have just bought a BNR32.

so he was in a small country town...drive a R32 and he would have no business.

your "demo" car always had to be a ford or holden.

he built up a honda city turbo for the wife that he would go out and wreck the locals in their V8's tho.,

That really was an unbearable gear change though; it sounded and felt like it was snapping the gearbox in half and surely couldn't have been good for the diff - maybe why so many of those diffs carked it

I know what you mean with compromise, but I prolly wouldn't have used that gear change setting on the track lol

From memory it was close to F1 gear shift time or something

So roommate has come back last night and said he's not happy with the girlfriend staying only 3 nights a week and wants me to think about it again (I'm guessing he wants to compromise to the middle of 4 nights a week) I said mate if shes here 4 nights a week that's over 50% may as well move all her gear in here and contribute.

Then apparently her contribution was cooking dinner for me a couple of times early on,cleaning the kitchen stove etc. I'm like wtf? ofcourse you gonna clean the kitchen after your the one that makes the mess in the first place.. I said why not visit her a bit at her mums? But apparently there's bad vibes there because a month or so ago her stepdad passed away.. (think its more because how close my place is to her workplace) kind of awkward now, because he's one of my good mates, not sure what to do but I didn't think I was being unreasonable?

Classic case of flatmates turning mates against each other

Also classic case of all rules not being discussed before moving in

Also classic case of you needing to tell him bad luck you had an agreement and his relationship problems and his gf's family problems aren't your problem

Yeah well wasn't anything to discuss before moving in - he didn't have a gf

That's it, his argument is I don't mind if mine comes over just as often I'm like yeh nah not gonna work, the house is a unit not a 5 bedroom house lol.

Probably just need to tell him bluntly tonight those are the rules don't like it move out, I mean there's other ways around it.. make a phone call, go visit etc. I don't think weekends and one work night is unreasonable.

    • 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.
