I would consider swapping the front end from my white cefiro...........but are they the same paint code? from memory the laurels don't have the coloured pearls in the factory paint whereas the cefiros do.

You would need to do paint so they matched properly.

Riverside, the laurel has a pearl through it. I only got the car home thursday night and since then i've fitted a front mount and installed piping, today is my chance to pull it out of the garage and give it a wash and a polish. I'll take a snip of it and see if the pearl comes out on the digital camera.

Inark :theres actually quite a few around... id say it cant be that hard to cconvert them over.... but who wants a laurel front on a ceffy?? why trade down?

Grrrr, trade down??? How do you figure that. Once the car is tidied up i'll take a few snips and you tell me if you really think its a trade down!!! :fart:

a cefiro is definatly a step down from a laurel in the nissan range... id think the pillarless design would be heaps more expensive to design (not saying its stronger or anything) and that would be reflected in its new car price. does anyone know what cefiros and laurels were worth new???

theres a UK site which i cant remember off the top of my head which had the prices of both as new from japan so was in yen...

i dont like laurels... i didnt know they were piller-less... i that was juyst the CIMA.

regardless... the laurel just doesnt appeal to me as much.

definately a trade down in looks to me...

i must stress that this is my opinion and is in no way biased because i have one.... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight lol but seriously... i seen laurels and cefiros before i ended up with a ceffy and the ceffy just appealed to me far more... and yes ive seen plenty of modified ones on many import sites (no not jspec or prestige.... actual japanese workshop and yards etc)

      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.
