My front grill for my r33 series 1 has arrived today, its made from fibreglass .....

my question is....

how do i stick mesh in the back of the fibreglass grill??, whats a good strong bonding fibreglass glue??

Whats the best approach in respraying fibreglass products, primer is a must apparently??

Is there a trick installing this front grill to the car??....i dont see clips or mountings for this grill

i would try and screw it or bend it so it "clips" on, failing that any sort of hot glue gun will work,

also consider mounting the mesh to the car, on the radiator support bracket so it sits just behind the grill. this is by far the easiest way as you can screw/rivet whatever you want. if you get it sitting close enough it will look great.

there is always cable ties too

I did this just a few days ago. I used a hot glue gun which worked well, but I was slightly concerned that the engine bay heat could melt the glue. I also used some 15 minute Araldite to seal the deal. Liquid nails would work well also.

Either way, just using hot glue would probably be sufficient but I like to over engineer things. :P

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
