Well she made it there and back in one peice again.

not much issues with the car except for " no good fuel between - Rocky and Mackay on the highway.

knock sensor in powerfc hit 197 at one point where i put in 95 Ron petrol and aclerating from 2800 to 3400 RPM, backed off straight away........ was a pain trying to overtake with engine light constantly flashing if accelerating too hard.

fuel economy - OK 11-12 litres / 100 km.

stone chips very little..................

just dont drive behind anyone thats all, especailly 4wd, trailers and trucks and dont tail gate them either or when they are pulling to the curb. Wait a fair bit back so you wont pick up all the stuff they pick up and theres plenty of overtaking oportunity.

You will cop a fair bit of Bug.

An easy way to sort that is to go to the IGN/INJ setting and just back off the ignition a couple of degrees. I found throwing in some more fuel helped too...

Just have to remember to do it again if you switch off the car...

A friend of mine did Sydney Brisbane-Sydney in the R32 GTS-T.

God I'd love to do that, if it weren't for the restricted speed limit. It's tha long pain of getting there. Driving fast doesn't mean you have to drive stupidly. The european been doing it for years at the autobahn.

      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.
