Hey guys,

So Dad is looking at fixing hail damage on the 34gtt, and I figure it's about time for a respray and some new wheels as well.

Seeing as these extras are coming out of my pocket, I'd like to do it once and do it right, so I figure I should gain all the advice possible.

1. Roughly how much can I expect to be paying for a basic (not bare shell) respray? I've heard around the 2-4G mark for same colour jobs? Would it be a lot more $$$ to turn the standard black respray into a very dark midnight purple-pearl type job? (looks black until the sun hits it, then appears a very dark purple)

2. So far I'm thinking of getting Varrstoen 2.2.1 (te37 style) rims, but I'm thinking of going fairly aggressive in fitment. I want to roll and flare the guards out, but not sure how much to flare them? Ideally the fitment I want to run is 18x9.5 +22 front, 18x10.5 +22 rear. Would this be a +20mm flare in order to eliminate any chance of scrubbing? I don't want to run overly ridiculous tyre stretch either, thinking of 255's on the rear and 235's front. The other option would be to run 18x9.5 +12 at the rear.

3. Where would you recommend taking the car to get the guard and paintwork done?

I doubt it will cost much more then, do you have an insurance quote already?

If so go see the panel beater and ask the question

If you don't have an insurance quote yet go get one

I would go see naz at KMF (he only does quotes on Saturday) or the guys at prestige who did sins car

Get the insurance side of it done after that's done ask for a cash price on the colour change

      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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.
