Hi All,

Trying to find a way to attach eyelids and bootlip to an r34 sedan. I've done searches and people are recommending sikaflex or 3M heavy duty thin double-sided tape.

I've been to a few hardware stores and had no luck finding the tape and the dudes at bunnings tell me that sikaflex is pretty much permanent.

Anywhere around Perth I can find something that will stick these two down nice and firm without being too permanent (ie: don't want to drill holes etc or have them permanently glued)

I've tried Bunnings in Innaloo and Balcatta with no luck - any tips appreciated fellas.

regards,

Steve

hey this stuff should work used it for the skirts on my car haven't had a problem.

it is a bit pricy but works well. but make sure you really push it on and don't get any bubbles in the tape.

Cheers bud will definitely give it a go, the eyelids I'm not overly worried about but I don't want anybody ripping off the spoiler and running away =(

I was going to use Sikaflex but I'm not sure which one to get (there are about 10 variations). And I also don't know if they will cause any permanent damage to the paintjob or plastic eyelids.. I believe fishing line gets the part off but I'm not sure about the residue etc..

yeah this shouldn't mark the paint and you can get rid of the sticky shit easy with some alcohol (not drinking alcohol).

with the lip make sure you get lots of contact area, i think this stuff holds like 17kg per metre at 1cm wide so is pretty strong.

hope it works for ya.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
