Plastic In Wheel Arches Breaking?

So in the front wheel archs there is plastic guards that go from mid top front of the arch down and under to the front bumper to block water/mud... They suddenly started scuffing the wheels and made a werid dragging sound, so after looking I found that these had the plastic screws that held it up break...

Very random, have some new ones now, was curious if anyone else had this happen too? Maybe the previous owner hit speed bumps too hard in Japan or something? I've never scuffed the front bumper myself or dropped very far from bumps...

Happened to me to, fixed them with some brackets but when i was going 200+ km/h they started to rub against the front wheels so i slowed down.. not fast enough though since they both ripped off and passed under the car :rofl: Luckly the car behind kept his distance and managed to not get hit :D

Same happened to a mate of mine a month ago :D

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
