got a quick couple of snaps of my painted sideskirts when i test fitted one of them.

now i need a front bar to match the height of the skirts as it looks funny now :( rear bar is fine but the front one is sooo high off the ground and the skirt is about 90mm from the floor

i dont know if fitting the skirts is a good or bad thing as its looking more like a hoons car everyday with brakes, bodykit, lowering, exhuast and i bought it for the purpose of not having to worry about cop attention.

lmfao its an addiction

lmfao...

Please explain in long hand.

Brad, what you should be doing is sourcing a 'see through' bonnet for that motor.

I got the same skirts - from Qikstagea. Probably for the same reason as you - wanted to fill in the middle of the car and give it a lower look without modifying the suspension.

For the uninitiated these are Nismo style kits and the bottom of the skirts are level with the bottom of your existing mudflaps.

Since I'm already up for a fibreglass job to repair the crash damage, I might see if i can raise them a bit.

Who cares about cop attention, although i do know where you are coming from as that is the reason i got rid of my silvia for the stag, but f*&k your car is SEX

IM IN LOVE :(

Brad like i always say..sex on wheels champ..that car is lookin sweeeeeetttt...anytime you want to take me for a drive???

by the way i LOVE the side skirts :devil: your car is seexxxyyyy :P

thanks guys and girls its lookin alot nicer than when i got it, i just need to put some better rims on it and it will be how i want it :devil: maybe front bar upgrade as i said earlier is on the list and some rear brembo brakes to match the fronts.

going up curbs with the skirts are interesting and only clear by about 20mm when on a 45 degree angle to the curb, i think speedhumps are out of the question, luckily its not a daily driver.

thanks again :P

Looks great Brad,

You do need a front bar and wheels to match (my opinion) as the skirts are really fat and the first thing that catches you eye now, probably due to the fact they are so low. Sick car though!

Cheers

Luke

Mr RS4 - great to see you back again mate...... still got a pic of your car on my HD (was in a yellowish well-lit carpark, looked sexy as!!)

Brad, looks great mate. If you ever do sell those mags drop me a PM with a price. I think that the front bar looks ok as is tho, but hell its your car, lol.

Hey Guys, new to the steaga world >_< , here are some pics of mine. Got big plans for this car, but a good starting block. :miner:

Car looks awesome! I want similar style wheels for mine, but first I need to get the suspension sorted - mine sits so high, it's not funny!

Nice shots, Alex - I might consider doing the same sort of thing next time I take my car out for a few photos...

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
