are the grill mounts detachable for the n1 headlamps? or are they moulded to the housing? iv seen some n1 types that have the mounts and some doesnt have it..attachicon.gifimages.jpgattachicon.gifpicture008g.jpg

With mounts = R32 GTR N1 headlights, to secure front grill.

Without mounts = R32 GTS-T headlights.

This is not entirely correct.

No the standard GTS-t's did not have the clips for the grill, although they did have screw holes for an option to fit the brackets (which were metal) for a GTR style grill. You can get these through NISSAN. So any reflector style (N1 style) headlights that have the brackets which are held on by screws and are removable, are NOT genuine N1s.

The genuine N1s have the brackets which are plastic and are molded into the body of the headlight itself. These are NOT removable.

Sorry Damien but that is not accurate.

(OO)SKYLINE(OO) is right.

Genuine N1's do not come with plastic brackets molded into the headlight. Standard R32 projector type headlights do.

If you were to source N1 (Zenki) Headlights from Nissan they come with metal brackets that are bolted each N1 headlight.

GTS'ts have N1 type headlights without brackets and can sometimes fool people that they are genuine N1 headlights.

I have both sets (with N1 recently purchased) be more than happy to post up pics for comparison.

Hey Ant,

I spoke to Kudos (SAU trader) about 6 months ago about this same thing as i was after genuine Zenki N1s, and he supplies them direct from NISSAN Japan, and he assured me the brackets were molded plastic (like the GTR projectors) and are part of the body and not removable. This is what distinguishes the difference between the N1 and the GTS items.

I did a fair bit of research into this as i was searching for a set myself, and i found a lot of conflicting information and could not get a straight answer, so i spoke to a specialist who deals in new original Nissan parts.

Ill ask someone on here who i know purchased a set through them so i can get a straight answer and ill let you guys know.

i prefer my projectors ;)

i wonder why they never moulded the braket on?

Well I have both. So change it when I want :yes:

No idea why N1's were not molded on - maybe it was in case they got damaged in racing it was easier to fix up :closedeyes:

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      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?
