igor Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I think they suit it. A bit understated, not in your face like turbos but similar. Might be a slightly different story on a wagon though. Have to suck it and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do these JDM 330s only have central locking for the rear doors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxted Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Cool wagon! I was going to say a friend in Perth has just recently got a 260c wagon but it looks like you already know Shea. Hot wires would look really sweet, would look really good with that brown colour. whats the difference in spec with a 280 vs a 260 out of curiosity?

kyteler Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 2.6 vs 2.8 basically. They're all export level trim which isn't quite as pimp as the Japanese market trim in the Cedric and Gloria. The C follows the Cedric aesthetic more than the Gloria one as well. (They're the same basic car come the 230 and 330 series. Prior to that were still in their respective Prince and Nissan guises of being competing market cars) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the rear door lock is just a safety feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyteler Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 If that's a wagon control unit, @kirk28, the "rear door unlock" may be for the tail-gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyteler Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Nah, my Gloria is poverty-spec. Has the cargo window and remote for that but that's about it. It doesn't even have electric windows let alone central locking. If it was the V6 instead of the diesel that would probably be different.

brocky41 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I laugh that they put electric on the cargo but not on the door - was an option i spose like Kirks. 330 means still the double a arm? front end so kingspring superlow HQ 6 cyl springs will lower it around 60mm in front. Cant remember the shock to suit but thats also holden, then 2 inch blocks or reset leaves by 2 inches and a sedan sits level to the sills (might need a bit more in the back to even it up) Heres what my old sedan looked like - on 16x7's and 205/55r16 (not to everyones taste) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirk28 Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Nah @kyteler the JDM higher spec wagons had the unlock on the tailgate; but none had e/windows; I’m wanting to convert mine to e/w’s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Hoo wee that chrome looks good! I should probably hunt down a nicer rear bumper myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirk28 Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Just now, kicker said: Hoo wee that chrome looks good! I should probably hunt down a nicer rear bumper myself Rear bumpers for these wagons are hard to find..the sedans much easier.. the rear bumper I’ve got from Japan was stored for many years, it’s actually from a Gloria so has the reversing lights in the actual bumper.. it cost a fortune. lucky for me at the same time some impossibly rare woodgrain panels came up for auction in Japan and I got those too.. once again they cost a fortune but meh what are you going to do? These parts hardly exist anymore. The front bumper in the thread is coming from Tasmania and is reasonably priced especially considering it’s NOS.. harder part will be finding front over riders that can do it justice; I prob need NOS to match.

Good thing I didnt end up bidding since you got them. Yeah and I would have gone to the moon on them too, because once I started bidding on the bumper... I realised it has reversing lights in them so I needed the woodgrain ones too and I’d probably never find another set! I’m farkrn bad at auctions I’ll keep going just to win but these ones I really did need! Would love to find a full lens set like some had...wonder if these are just reflectors? ... wonder why they put full lens’ on base models? The rear lights on these things have always tripped me out, so small . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Full lens is a full light, it does have a reflector but it's in the centre of the lower lense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
