I was just wondering on how people have installed their skirts especially the rear because in mine there are only holes at the front

the back doesnot have any (in the car the skirts do ), so dont know how to attach them

and I am quite sure double sided foam tape doesnot do the job

any help would be appreciated

Sikaflex adhesive is what we used to use if I recall correctly.

yeah that is what I was thinking , but I mean I have the standard skirt , so how does it come from nissan just stuck and bolted from the front

drill holes, attach screws, hey presto!!!

the drilling the holes is not the most attractive since it is a body part, and that means I need to paint it and so on so no rusting

i used the adhesive plus bolted them on but they were 400R side skirts.

Drill the holes I wouldnt be relying on the other stuff on its own its not a big deal your just drilling inside the wheell arcs so its not a big deal two or three screws will hold it if you rdat worried about rust then put abit of paint with a touchup brush and use the other stuff to secure the kit even further

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
