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

      Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.

      9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

      Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.

      I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
