Where To Get Sedan Mudguards/mudflaps

Hi folks,

I'm fairly new to the forums, been browsing for a while, and in the process of purchasing an '04 300GT. Just tonight, I noticed that some of the V35 sedans around have some type of mudguard thingys attached behind front and rear wheels, but the one I'm buying doesn't. I'm thinking that they might come in handy as I'll be doing some driving on dirt roads from time to time (the folks place) and would provide some extra protection from stones/grit throwing up on the skirts. Anyone know if they're available anywhere?

Cheers,

Richard

ps. not getting the 19" rims shown in the pics for the same reason above, even though they look pretty nice, add to that I can't afford them right now either!

my experience..... the mudguard is so hard to clean~ :P , unless u've got a trained right/left arm to handbuff it, otherwise its hard with machine buff due to the edge/angle

I don't really care how hard it is to clean - if I have to hand buff it, then that's what I'll do!

I've spotted some Infiniti G35 splash guards as they call them available from the US - would they be the same as for the V35?

exactly the same. go and order some.

I replaced mine with US G35 coupe splash guard when I accidentally scrape it.

when the replacement came it had USG35 written at the back of it, and guess what when I took off my oem one? same part number.

I have noticed that there is a difference in shape between the Infiniti 03-04 splash guards and the 05-06 splash guards, besides the 03-04 being two tone and the 05-06 being completely body colour. I want the completely body colour guards, so just wondering if anyone knows if there's any actual difference in the rear quarter panels of the 03-04 Infiniti and the 05-06?

No Difference at all, Nissan dropped the 2-tone look in 2005. If you pick up a set of earlier ones all you need to do is paint them

I emailed Riverside Infiniti and the guy there reckoned there was a slight difference in the sheet metal between the 03-04 G35 and the 05-06, reckoned the later ones wouldn't fit. Have to say though that the later ones look a lot nicer in shape, aside from the paint issue.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      Yes. Probably, given that there is only access from the bottom end of it, go with a drill bit. Don't start too small. 7 or 8mm is probably the right size. You want something that can make a big enough hole to do some damage, but not so bit that it clashes with the steel or binds up and breaks your wrist. A slow speed is probably a good idea too. Once the rubber is destroyed, you then have to get the crush tube off the stud, which will be the whole heat/oil/cutting exercise all over again, but this time with the need to strictly avoid damaging the stud (any further than the corrosion might already have done.

      We replaced the connector just because we could and it was still there, once we swapped the injectors around it stopped. The injectors were something I had thoughts of replacing even before I first started the engine and in hindsight I should have

      Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.

      I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.

      So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?
