Hi guys picked up my 97 gtsts yesterday freshly imported :D

One of the issues i just noticed is that my Odomoter for the current trip (So the one on the bottom) is flying!

I drove it from Baulkham Hills to Blacktown which is Max ~15km i'd say.

I reset the odomoter at the start of the trip and when i arrived at blacktown it said 60~ kms.

Any suggestions / is this fixable?

Cheers

Colin

id say the odo milage had a nice little hair cut before it left Japan and they stuffed up putting it back together.

id either ignore it or buy a 2nd hand one to replace it (not worth fixing). Either way, id do a 100,000km service and full fluid drop asap.

And congrats on the new car :yes:

dont be to worried about someone taking kms off your odo, every non gtr is probably in the 200k kms :)

just do what everyone seems to do and buy a new odo, rack up 70,000 kms and when you want to sell it polish it. mint condish bro.

Driving a car with a digital odo for 5 years has done me no good!

So on your way to Blacktown your 'odo' "was flying" up to 6000rpm?

jk

Glad it's sorted Colin.

And yes, you might as well "confess" right here!

Leave it to us as to whether or not you receive absolution for wasting 2 mins of our lives!

Hey Terry,

I went to carbon car systems to get my alarm installed and must say best blokes there, friendly and honest. I wanted to get a more expensive Viper system but they told me it wasn't worth it / not suitable for me etc and sold me a mongoose system fitted instead. Told him i found his business on SAU and he was like yes Mr terry!

Going back this week to get my head unit installed =D

Awesome guys would recommend !

That's great Colin!

On one occasion when a quote was given to supply & instal, they needed an extra part that they'd run out of. They went into Blacktown to procure the part but insisted on not charging me any extra. They even apologised for taking up extra time.

Good old fashion service at Carbon Car Systems & Daniel Gardener.

Chris Rogers in Brisbane has the same service approach.

Got my head unit installed today on short notice (had about 4 cars there but squeezed me in) Found out my two front speakers where dead... Didn't charge me an arm and a leg to get things installed and replaced.

Very happy with their service still and can't wait till they start doing their tinting so i can go back and get some more work done :D

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      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?
