Hey guys,

Had a guy off the forums come down and buy my catback exhaust that was for sale..

Whilst we were chatting about our cars he brought up the grill on the front of his, after going around and taking a look i was surprised. I had never seen nothing like it before but at the same time it looks amazing!!

Can anyone identify this grill and maybe link me to somewhere where i may be able to purchase one from.

Thanks and looking forward to everyone's replys.

Used to have the N.A series 2 grill as shown in my gallery but makes me look like a old fella driving the car lol so i swapped it for the dolphin grill.

You can pickup next to new condition N/A series 2 grills on ebay for under $75, To my understanding the dolphin grill still holds it's value..

Im still puzzled as to what aftermarket manufacturer makes this item... lots of views on the topic but nobody seems to have any idea on who may make it.

Reckon you could post a better photo?

It's a bit hard to tell if it's any good when it's not in context.

need one of the whole front of the car.

Hey chef

I actually own a series 2 and previously had the na grill but swapped it for the dolphin grill.

Both identical but i beloeve the na series 2 grill is alot rarer to find as opposed to the turbo grill.

Look wicked in context I've been searching yahoo japan auctions, I only found a front bumper that sort of resembles the grille, But before that i thought it may have been a takero's variant.. Which it was not.

But will let you know if i ever manage to stumble across one.

Doesn't have that line through the middle of it or the mesh behind it either. but I'm sure if you know a good body shop they might be able to add those bits in!

And by a "Good" Body shop, I meant yourself, with a fiberglass kit and a carton :laugh:

      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.
