Hey all,

If i had my car with me at the moment i would take a photo to show exactly what i am talking about, but having said that i'll try to explain...

I'm wondering if anyone knows where to purchase the plastic screw in clips that hold a lot of the front bar into the reo bar ( on a series 1 R33 anyway)

they same sort of concept also holds the plastic panels that sit just in front of your front wheels.

I guess over the years many of mine had become quite brittle and on removal of my front bar and the like to install a fmic today, i few got broken.

Also i'm in melbourne ;)

thanks

Camden

Your local paint/body shop will be able to fix you up.

awesome. i had figured that body shops would carry such things, but hopefully they don't ask some silly amount of money just coz they can ;)

Maybe you can purchase a small bag of them lol. Tell us how you go, I've broken a fair few of mine too :(

pretty sure they are at supercheap also...

Have been past both Supercheap, Autobarn and Bunnings today whom all only stocked automotive clips that i certainly use to find all the time in interiors of cars (tree design) but nothing of the type ive found holding on the outer components of my 33. will start visiting some smash repair places tomorrow (if i can be farked going out in the 40+ degree heat we are having in melbourne)

Cheers

my repairer sorted mine bout when replacing my front bar.. dont suppose u have tried nissan yet?

I did goto nissan cambewell yesterday who were as unhelpful as last time i went there (they really arn't interested in helping people with imports)

nissan brighton on the otherhand have been more than helpful in the past sourcing me many little bits and pieces, just havent had time to drop past there yet.

I also dropped into a repairer near where im working on my car in collingwood called LA. They were a great help and said they normally would have that style of clip but just didnt have any left. They suppied me with a similar style of clip in mean time.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
