actually i still have her.
just had the engine pulled out and refreshed, full major service, replaced everything, deleted hicas, spent bit stacks of cash.
soon to get new coilovers and do all the bushes. i want to have it drivable at any time and its been dormant for so long it needed to eat some money

yeah im going to be much ...happier and setteled driving it now i know the engine has no suprises . then having everything nice and tight and new in the geometry, steering suspension, then new tires, refresh brakes and then ill look forward to a future paint job. but yeah having a car that just drives correctly without the increased chance of lunching an engine.


i really should consider new turbos through................rinning stock 🙁

What's the end goal weekend cruiser/daily?

100% do all the bushes with whiteline rubber not other brands urethane. 

MCA are the way to go, yes more expensive but ride quality is better and support is great. Been running their x-r purples (current pro sports model) for 7 years no issues and do a lot of street and track driving. Even big 2800km roadtrips on shit roads it rides better than my 370z. 

I look at it this way takes say 4 months to save for cheaper ones then you don't like them then need to save for another 6 months to replace them with MCA. Better off waiting an extra month or 2.

Definitely spend a little more on your suspension, even for a daily driver, or actually more so for a daily driver with less than perfectly flat roads you'll want something that handles well, but is also compliant when hitting pot holes and rough roads (basically every street and Hwy in NSW at the moment)

Also don't go too stiff with your bushings, and if possible avoid pillow ball joints for less NVH and longevity of your suspension 

For a street car/cruiser, you'll thank yourself in the end

I would suggest taking a look at Shockworks over MCA's

but same idea much better suspension can give you a nice comfy ride AND a firm track setup. Instead of just being lower and stiff like BC,HSD, ISC etc

    • 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.
