Hey I have an RB20det Nissian Cefiro and i was wondering about fittin my kit properly.

Front bar - is it only the two screw in the top of the bar in the wheel arches that hold the kit on

or do i have to make 2 more supports from the front mount?

Side skirts - how do i keep the tops of the skirts level against the front guard? double sided take or

a sika adheasive?

Rear Bar - is it just the same as the front bar? is it just two screws ?

When i bought the car the whole kit was zip tied on :down:

P.S. I know im not a skyline but it is full skyline running gear so I thought you guys would know better than anyone else.

Cheers and thanks :blink:

R: I suggest you screw the top of the front bar onto the reo of the front of the car. Follow it up with at least 2 screws on each of the sides and where possible (to make it more secure), screw it to the front grill are too. Basically, the more screws the better.

Side skirts - how do i keep the tops of the skirts level against the front guard? double sided take or

a sika adheasive?

R: If you want it done right - you should fit it then fiberglass it and respray it so that it looks seemless. However, you can also screw the side skirt into the side of your car and attach it to the front bar too. Don't use double-sided tape here...too be flexing and it will fall off. Suggest screws or liquid ahesives.

Rear Bar - is it just the same as the front bar? is it just two screws ?

R: Two screws plus attach it somehow to the side sideskirts too.

When i bought the car the whole kit was zip tied on :)

R: Definitely not the way to go...probably was a drifting application.

P.S. I know im not a skyline but it is full skyline running gear so I thought you guys would know better than anyone else.

R: Skyline or not - you're welcome mate. Hope it helped. If you cannot do it right, spend the cash and get a mechanic or panel shop to do it for you.

Hi mate, not a problem - you're welcome.

We're all here to help. Just returning the favour. I know what you mean, fixing and adjusting is one thing - adding or putting on a bodykit is another.

Yeah, just follow my steps and you should be right. The key is to make sure you put in as much screws to the reo bar of the car and the side skirts as possible. Try to at least screw the sides and also put some screws in the centre of the front bar, e.g. to the front grill as this will add stability. Where you cannot drill or screw - use liquid sealants...e.g. liquid nails or the like.

Good luck and yeah, post up some pictures mate!

      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.

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

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
