Just rip it off. Its glued on with a pretty strong double sided tape. There r a couple of clips along the way so just watch out for them. Hard part was getting the remaining glue off. I used a plastic scraper(one i used to do sum plastering of the wall with) u can get em cheap from Bunnings. Also had to use sum `Goo off' or similar glue disolving product(also from Bunnings) to remove the reamining glue.

Only thing is the Goo Off left the rubber seal around the door a lil on the matt side. The ones around the quarter window is a gloss black n the one around my door is now a matt black. I think the Goo off kinda dissolve the surface of the rubber a lil. Car looks way better without the shields but up close the rubber seal doesn't look as appealing but its a minor cosmetic thing, depends how fussy u r with ur car.

true, thanx

i have heard tho that rain seeps down and into the actual car if u remove the weathershield, is this true or not? after hearing a couple stories i might nt take it off and ill just tint it black so it goes kinda better with the car than this crappy brownish colour...lol

Nuh no issues with rain seeping in. The weather shield is not factory std so rain shouldnt be seeping in. Who drives with their window down when its rainin anyway? lol...

yeah might give it a go dis w/e, bt ive looked at mine and it seems if i did take the weathershield off the rubber trim around it will like have a gap between the actual rubber trim and the roof, can u then jus push in the rubber trim in then so the gap wont be there? if ya kno wat i mean, sorry if i keep asking i just wanna make 100% sure i get it right the first time and properly at dat, oh yea good point at bout the windows down lol would be a strange sight...

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
