seems like most r32 gtrs have that dash bubble on the passesnger side

the one im looking at has it too, although its not that badd, i would like to get it fixed in the future if i end up buying it

can it be fixed?

does the dash have to come out?

are there mobile guys that can come around to your place and fix it?

any more info on this would be good, thanks fellas !

remove dash...drill a small hole through to bubble from rear...be careful to not put a hole in dash exterior...fill large syringe with upholstery adhesive...inject bubble with adhesive until full...work adhesive back out hole while wet...leave for 5 mins...work bubble from edges to centre to stick back down.

easy!

yeah the method dirtgarage described is the only way I've seen it successfully repaired short of just replacing the whole thing (you can still buy new ones from nissan). it takes a bit of care but if done right it works in most cases. make sure you do have a hole in the back as otherwise when you work the bubble down the excess will come out onto the top surface which you don't want.

i wonder if this technique would work from from the front? make a small hole in the bubble, fill with glue and work it until its fixed. of coarse your gona hav a small mark where the hole is but atleast the bubble would be gone !! hmm

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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.

      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.
