It seems that some R33's have sideskirts which are welded on and some R33's have the removable ones where you can remove the screws on the ends of the sideskirts to remove it. Is it possible to remove the sideskirts on the welded ones? I want to get some GTR R33 sideskirts and I have the welded sideskirts :)

usually OEM parts are not fused, so it can be replaced if damaged in case of an accident.

most cars that come from japan have panel damage throughout its life. unless the repairer in japan had Sikaflexed the skirts on. (thats what some bodykit workshops do). Ive even seen bodykit places Liquid-nails bodykits on.

let us know and post some pictures up. Sikaflex can sometimes be melted in heat but usually it just has to be cut with a stanley knife. General Automotive sikaflex comes in black

Ask a windscreen shop for piano wire and handles. It'll take off the urethaned skirts in minutes provided you can actually get the wire around the skirts.

A panel shop once asked us to remove a VE commodore's beaver panel cos it's glued on and they were unsure the first time they worked on one.

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
