spotted a white ceffy passing Curl Curl beach last night.

cc?

Hay Liz - I was finally spotted *beam*.

Was trying to have dinner for my bday.. All booked out, ended up goin to Manly. Were you in the r33 with unpainted front bar?

Stuck in in traffic on Walker st North Sydney about 6pm-ish spotted a nice white R33 i think the plates where ATD-37R? with SAU sticker on left rear quarter panel, girl driver. Nice ride.

I was the grumpy $hit in the silver 280zx next to you... :lol:

Oh yeah. This morning about 8am on Warringah Rd.

ARL something r34 - TOUGHEST looking r32 evarr.. Cute lookin driver too :(

AQN something black r34 always see it.

A r31 and r33 too.

4-5pm-ish waved hello to a busy lookin owner of a tough lookin r34 on Warringah Road.

Also spotted SLY 31 a r31 on Link Rd - had a chat.

if it sounds like liz, looks like liz it probably is liz!

Archie!!! I had a feeling it might have been you, I recognised the dent!

Man I was discussing with my mate buying a 280 I've found all afternoon.. and then as soon as i leave work I find myself behind a beautiful 280, it was a sign!!!! I couldn't stop starring...you have such a nice car!

Anyway, decided against buying the 280 for now, I think my parents would kill me if I've brought home a 3rd car!

BTW guys - the green bum is shown only to those special few!

aaahhh.... you noticed the dent :) did you see my fantastic rust proofing job with the fish oil, covered by a bit of electric tape :lol:

Great car the 280, solid block of an engine and plenty of room for an even bigger donk if the need be.... mines in a sore need of a wash though...

    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
    • Yup. I actually just blew my turbo. LOL.  should have checked this thread before today. i also have no boost solenoid. so it should be...one line from wastegate to turbo inlet, and a T somewhere in that line that connects to the wastegate return pipe?
    • It's recommended, however I can assure you a good amount of people don't bother. FWIW, the OEM battery lasted 4.5 years and I changed it prematurely too, I reckon could have stretched it to 5 years.
    • Are you telling me I'm going to need a code reader etc to just change the battery when it dies...  Why did I let you talk me into allowing Kate to buy this car lol
