Just wondering if anyone here knows on a part or product that will protect the rear bumper for when the dogs are jumping in and out??

Like a rubber strip or stainless steel??

I don't want thier claws scratching the crap out of the bumper..

if you turn over the spare wheel cover im sure it has a mat attatched to it that comes out and covers the bumper

Really? I'll have to check that out...so many gadgets and handy little ideas in the stagea, its no wonder we all love them so much

Yeah I have seen pictures of it and have used it myself. The pictures I saw were people with skiing equipment, and it was so that they could sit in the back and take off thier boots and stuff and not get the carpet in the back all wet and dirty.

I have used it when I've been marching through mud and want a place to sit down and clean off a bit without getting mud all over the place.

It is also really easy to clean, a quick hose down is all it requires.

There are two small straps that normally keep it from being removed tottally, but you dont need to turn it upside down to use the splash guard, it's held to the bottome of it with little clips, so just lift, unclip and fold out over rear bumper.

i'm looking at getting my rear bumper repainted as i've already damaged it loading and unloading. i've seen taxi's with a protective strip over the bumper under the tailgate to stop the paint being damaged. i'm trying to source a clear hard vinyl strip or something similar to stick over the rear bumper just below the tailgate.

Nothing on the nissan dealers system with that part number (rockingham nissan)...

I'm going to check out some companies that might take a mould and create me one.

Would like to know the price of a nissan one also to compare.

It would have never been sold in Australia b4, thats why it wouldn't be on the system. They would need to contact Nissan in Japan.

Nope....

R33's never been sold in Australia, but a few dealerships in VIC have a full parts list. And NISSAN Australia, storage have heaps of new import Nissan parts. I dare say you will need to wait 2 weeks for this part to come from Japan :).

Just need to find a dealership that is willing to chase up the part.

PS: i purchased a NEW pair of R33 front indicators from a NISSAN dealership and they were cheaper than a second hand pair from a well known Sydney import wrecker ;). They also had them in stock at the distribution centre: Ordered them at 8am and picked them up at 3:30pm, that same day :)

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
