cheers......what by melting the plastic with it and letting it stick together? bit reluctat to try incase i do f*** it up....

if the side skirts are made from ABS plastic ( or polypropelyne), all you need is to get some of the same type of plastic and cut it into thin strips, kinda like solder.

Then proceed to weld it together using a soldering iron and the plastic strips as a filler rod. Do a good enough job and reinforce it with some fiberglass bog, goos as a bought one.

There is a place out at Greenfields (they have a sign for plastic repairs) - you turn in off Port Wakefield Road .... not sure of their name though.

On a side note, when did you buy a 34GTR Mike?

where would i go about getting the filler poly..? i might have a sus of these guys at greenfields then- if its not a hard job hopeflly they can sort it out for me cheap rather than me make a mess of it whic could quiet likely happen...

JIS had a pair of sideskirts.. were after 250$ plus mark from memory......mmm thats about the price of 3 cartons of jacks...:P Cheers for the help

if you get it plastic welded , you will probably need it resprayed as by plastic welding there would be a line of where it was broken if you do one side, if you do both sides it will still need to be redone as it leaves leftover plastic and is not colour coded and needs to be sanded down to be all flush again.

Just my 5 cents worth on the topic.

Hey Andrew,

Yeah bought one about 2 months ago now. its been 3 years since i sold my 33. Too long.

Will have to catch up with everyone, organise a cruise

Yeah you should pay the $45 ($30 per annum and $15 once-off joining fee) and become an SAU:SA Club member Mike - we are having a Club dawn cruise and breakfast early in the New Year. Will be awesome, with tons of great cars in a nice relaxed group.

Nice purchase by the way! I have a black V35 coupe these days.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
