hmm. now i'm not sure. anyway, check out the pic it should help figure it out a bit. I'm curious why you need to know anyway? if you are getting some just wait till they arrive and then have a look. if you are planning to copy them how about just paying the small amount of money they cost and giving the company that designed them some credit. when people start copying parts eventually the people who design them have to start charging more money as they get less sales volume. this in turn makes people even more likely to buy the copies and eventually the original maker can't carry on. then we loose another company that makes new innovative parts. try and get the people who copy the shit in china who have never even seen a GTR in the flesh let alone built and raced them to design an improved cam cover baffle system.....

these are not exactly a bank breaking part of an RB26 build.

Remember curiosty killed the cat, not copying just trying to figure out the ones we have here are copies or originals. We have checked the pic you have uploaded and discussed it through. I feel the A plate cannot go through B as this will close the front end off and no oil or vapour will pass through as shown in the right top illustration in the pic above and also making any part, ie the small open ended rectangular spout, beyond the A plate would be deemed useless and not required.

Care to elaborate.

All future replies, if you cannot give a definte answer to my question then please do not reply.

I don't have time to make cheap copies for the market and agree that MOST(90%) times it is better to buy from the big name company from Japan, at times it is really hard to justify the prices.

i buy them much cheaper than whats quoted above....i think last set i bought were about $180

If this is orginal Mines product, could you possibly get me a set now at that price?

Wouldn't mind comparing the real thing with what we have here.

He quoted his BUY price... he will not sell at this price :thumbsup:

If thats the case, then I suggest it shouldn't be boldly advertised here for the general public. General public prices (eg - Nengun prices) for us everyday folk please.

Paul couldn't possibly quote a sell price on here, because of course he is not a trader :P I guess he's just bought a lot of them for himself.

no im not selling them...merely stating that i thought the price quoted was no-where near what i paid for the 2 or 3 sets ive bought.

if anyone wants them ring CRD (no pm's to me please) as thats who i buy mine off.

maybe i get a good deal? as ive spent a lot with them over the years.

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
