My lower brackets on the same louvre you have are reversed where they are hidden underneath. I guess it was a tech preference for whoever did the original install back in the day.

Do yourself a big favor and get the Nidage Borescope from Amazon for less than $30 and look up inside the frame rails through the drain ports. You might be surprised by what you find. Also take a screw driver and tap along the bottom frame rail and see if you find soft spots. It’s a blue tooth setup that’s pretty cool. At least you can see what you have to work with.

Not sure how much or any difference that would make. Have you checked it with power? The results will be the same whether its on or off the motor. Opening and closing properly. Most Ive found are ether frozen open or closed.

@SteveJ Have any input on this being a 260 owner?

Feel like you are going to go down a rabbit hole here. Check your AAR and go from there as @Zed Head suggested.

IMO no. Ned to find an AAR that works correctly.

That’s correct. The +8 also has two different pistons where the “W” series had both larger pistons. Parts are still readily available from Toyota for a rebuild.

Man, That’s a shame best of luck to you friend.

If you run into a problem send me a pm. I can probably help you out with a set.

@HusseinHollandWhere did you source the panels?

A really Good and Knowledgeable Friend on the forum pointed it out to me!!!

A Ton of People!!

Make sure the check valve arrow is pointing to the booster, Not the vacuum source! Ask me how I know!!

If you can post some pics on his projects. For myself I would love to take a look.

Can you feel the scratches with your finger nail even so lightly? If so I hate to say you might want to source another glass.

I have a new set I never used you can have but would probably cost more to ship.🤦‍♂️

Nice work! That wiring loom could have been a huge headache. Glad you found it friend.

Thanks @Captain ObviousBut that sure made my brain burp as well!!😂😂

I did a quick check here in the US. No availability but 3 Canadian dealerships did not say unavailable . You might get lucky or check Amayama in Japan.

Check CarPartsManual for the p/n and go on line to see if there’s availability through Nissan

The one for the 280z looks like it as well. N3300

Thanks for taking the time to help and educate my friend.

I agree, Cleaning with a brass brush will not get the job done. Clean the oil off. Sandpaper all the electrodes and you have a chance.

There are open air side vent actuators under the dash just above the side kick panels

Seriously, It could be a mud dauber. In Florida they’re terrible and that’s what I sounds like. If that’s the case they don’t live that long. How long have you heard it?
