hi guys,

i have noticed on my passenger side kick panel 2 large diameter plastic circlips which are about 30mm in diameter, i came across a pic on this forum where it actually holds an orange canister in place...can anyone tell me what this is for?

i wouldn't mind getting 1 of these, probably rendered useless but im the type where i dont like anything missing on my car :)

regards.

It normally holds an emergency flare. I guess the japs use it if you break down in a bad place in the night you set it off and place it on the road a little bit up the road so ppl can slow down.

normally removed as part of the compliance process cos they're illegal here or something. (i.e. fireworks and stuff...)

I had one in my car cos it was complied ages ago or cos they forgot or whatever, but it kept falling out, so it's just sitting in the garage now. probably wont work anyway cos it's like 15 years old...

lol... it holds the emergency flare. When I bought my car, the original flare was still there. It says on it in japanese instructions on how to use the flare and best before 2002. So I put it away and put a torch in those circular clips instead. :-) I was so tempted to try it out..

You want to buy it off me? .. hehehhee

I had one in my 32 when i came from japan. Said best before date was around 2003.

A mate set it off from a distance to see what would happen and it was pretty dangerous.

For me i would rather not have it in the car at all

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
