Dunno why I didn't get this done first time around. Been old and scratched since I got it. Fiddly and lot of prep, covering everything but worth it. Satin Black. Drivers side, section done. Passenger

Richard you act like i literally didn't just buy these items? lol it was literally the last thing i did.

Wait till you need something larger from RHD and get them to literally throw it in the box. Shipping is free. Kindy like dobby the free elf.

Weirdly enough, found them on eBay.

Sure thing mate. The front section that goes under the front guards are actually identical for 2piece standard standard and 3 piece Nismo. 76853-05U00.

Thanks for getting back to me Rbn1, are you sure it is the same part number for both sides. I'm almost positive they would be different for each side since the are two different parts. I did suspect the front piece was the same between 2 and 3 piece skirts thanks for confirming it.

Thanks for the part numbers for the handles too guys, mine faded or went chalky a few years ago, was surprised when it happened. I think I need the surrounds too.

What is the handling mod on the way..?

Ah yes. Good point, i'll get you the part no's of both sides soon.

I'll post up the handling mod this weekend hopefully.

Thanks mate.

The inner mirror cover/garnish? Those ones are just carbon dipped standard items.

Something that I did get from Yahoo Japan - Nismo rear pods. These are copies. Wanted to get originals but decided against it after I saw how much dorra they were. The copies were pricey enough.

These coupled with the standard bootlid & spoiler with lip, 3 piece sideskirts - Project 32GTR Nismo bodykit commences this summer.

Nismo Body Kit is a must!

:D

God after looking at that, and at Ants car i have come to the conclusion:

it's much easier to have a standard fking colour.

passenger : 76853-05U00
drivers : 76852-05U00
edit : got the part no.s the wrong way around

Thanks so much mate, I just thought to check back now too. So does your post read correctly now after the edit?

Merry Christmas, hopefully you get some money for the build :)

Yep, it's correct.

Thanks mate.

Speaking of Christmas. Decided to upgrade the coilovers. The Bilsteins were pretty decent but it was hard to say no to these.

Racepace re-valved & setup Tein RE's.

These will have better control and improved comfort. Can't say no to that.

Holidays is a good time to get work like this done.

Was recommended this stuff by the paint shop that I bought the matched paint from.

Cutting compound for idiots. Works remarkably well. Spray on wax afterwards.

Got the side skirts and rear pods on. Still waiting on the plastic clips that hold the centre skirt in properly.

Went for a drive up to Mt. Macedon with a mate.

Black is an amazing colour. Amazing at hiding every single curve and showing up dirt.

Nismo Rear pods are nice and subtle.

Gotta make time to get the coilovers on.

Try matte black and red dust :( what is and where did you get that boot lip?

Yep that's be worse. Much worse.

Came from Japan with it. It's a fibreglass bootlid with the lip built in to it. Haven't seen another one like it. Possibly some sorta custom job.

I like it and will hang on to it but i'm planning on getting the standard rear boot lid/spoiler combo with nismo lip sprayed up and put on.

      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.
