Bear in mind it is a bit of a mission to do this at home as you will almost certainly need to take off the hub assembly to press out the existing ball joint bush.

You dont need to take off the hub to press bearings out, simple tool can do it on the car, even if you do need to take hub off its easy to get off no mission lol.

i have one these kits sitting at home waiting to be installed.. i wanna do this at home but my concern is finishing the job over the weekend as i have read its a pain to press out the balljoints

boostn0199: what did u use for the job? how long does it typically take?

ps - i have a small dremel which i was thinking of using to cut of the lip on the balljoint and press it out from that direction - anyone done it this way?

Modification of a steering system. Not permissable without engineering.

Hope mine is hard to see under the rear diffuser... Pretty sure they will have a field day with the Decat pipe. Is my fuel system illegal 2?

Take my tip. If it is still in whatever garish colour it came in, take it off and paint it black before crossing your fingers. Will make it much less likely to get spotted. Cops may or may not be bright enough to know whether the car was supposed to have HICAS, but they can sure as f**k tell that a bright orange/blue/red component is not original.

Basically i made up a mini ball joint puller and pusher so it pushes witha bolt to get it out. For me even if i did it with removings hubs wouldnt take memore than couple of hours.

Do ppl who put these lock out kits in, only do it to improve track performance, or do ppl experience issues with the HICAS on everyday road use?

I've never tracked my car, but I do know that when I engage HICAS on the road, I can take corners up to 20 km/h faster then when it is disengaged.

So just curious as to why do many ppl install lock out kits? I personally think HICAS is excellent, but like I said, never tracked my 34.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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?

      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.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
