Sorry to hear but that's why p platers shouldn't have powerful cars, I had a modded 33 on my p's and I know now I wasn't ready for it even though I thought I was, not having a go at you or anything just my perspective

I can see that point of view and it reinforces it

But what stops be from doing it in a commo or a na skyline. The speed I was doing it easily reachable by them

It was more along the lines of immaturity and thinking I could take it fast

As I have said since I did it. It wasn't the car it was me nothing else but me

This is very stereo typical... Zac's 33 made 204rwhp. I dont think that cam be classified as a "Powerful" car. Kids will be kids, there are kids getting round is Commodores and Falcons with the same power

Agree entirely here. Its not the car that made this happen it was the actions of the driver accompanied by there driving ability. Ive seen many other young drivers do similar things is smaller & slower cars. Hell I've got a mate that rolled his 4x4 going though a round about too quick.

Strong learning curve thats all

New shell found, going to pay for it Tuesday

Sweet!!! Post pics!

No I agree the car doesn't make a difference but the way it made the power and the mentality of driving a turbo sports car at the age did for me, I wasn't trying to stereotype just going off my own experience, good to hear you've got a new shell

Thanks mate :)

Yeah I see where your coming from I was a bit like yeah sports car can go fast

Not anymore I'm like it can go fast but I can't so no thanks

I will post pics when I pay but let's haut say its a bit ok zeke and nick rolled into one

Looking forward to seeing what you've got coming, half considering re-shelling mine as had leaking d2 coilovers in it when I got it and they used to knock really badly so I replaced them with new blitz items, repainted the car( stay away from cameron's bodyworks), 26/30 etc etc and it turns out just in front of the passenger mirror where the front quarter meets the window pillar there's a big crack in the chassis and I don't know how structural it is:-(

    • 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.
