Hi all. Just introducing myself.

Owned a R34 GTt coupe for many years. Maybe 6 or 7. I dunno, can't remember exactly. Was a daily at one point for quiet awhile. Great car. At some point I got bored with it and bought a new car. But I would never the 34. Been sitting in my garage ever since. Start it up once a month, change the oil once a year. Thats it.

Always pretty much been a stock 34. Bought it as 1st owner in Oz. Came with Apexi exhaust (cat back), oil cooler and a Nismo kit. Oh, and some god awful 19" ROH rims which I've always hated. Since then I've done some ISC coil overs, a brake refresh with DBA street rotors and Intima pads and hella braided lines.

The time has come to breathe some new life back into the old girl. I have already seen some great info on here and friendly people to boot.

Really looking forward to getting back into the scene and picking some brains on upgrade ideas and paths.

Cheers.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      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.

      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.
