Recommended Posts

That will be one wicked 32 then...

I meant to say what he wanted to put in mine ECU wise, It wont be like the Gibson GTRs in all the power making stuff.

Edited by Bunta

Alan was awesome, confirmed everything I talked to you about on the phone, their set up in the GTR was word for word what Sean wants to put on mine.

Yes, totally reinforces everything you discussed with me and everything Alan mentioned was crystal clear to me. Thanks mate.

The club has been invited to be the feature club on the Sunday for the event. We have been asked to fill the apron in front of the function room with skylines so make them shine and come along, all skylines are welcome.This will also be a great opportunity for the club to promote itself to the public.

so where the hell was everyone? I was there front and center, from just before 8am till around 1pm, and I saw 2 other skylines the whole day.....

The 'club' display was cancelled when we found out that we had been over committed in terms of numbers.

They were just trying to get a heap of cars there regardless of whether they were skylines or not

Sorry mate, thought that I made that clear when I asked if you could come to the dinner instead.

sorry man, ralf and I showed up late...and they told us the show and shine was full....we really should have all showed, the comondoors were far to common. all those rare red Brock specials that look identical....

Saw your car, lookin good. steve was there in his LM.

Yeah Ralf got a few nice photos, this one features the bogged fire truck :) after it went out to try and put out a burning commo....lol

Tony, nothing was "made clear" even after rereading the whole convo again . Regardless, shit happens and I had a ball, talked for half an with Colin Fulton(team gibson) met Freddy , got his scribble on my poster next to Mr Jims, the Shannon's guys loved my car and said if they had class for older nissans I would have got it hands down, And I scored the original "redbook" from 1977 that has my car in it, for the high rolling price of $5. And on top of all that I saw Jim flogging the doors of the R31 just like I remember watching with my dad at lakeside over 20 years ago. :D

    • 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.
    • 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.
