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)

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
