Tried Clarke rubber and Kanga rubber to see if they have similar profile? They come to mind as suppliers worth asking.

I'm keen on replacing mine too, but I'd just want a new rubber not the whole thing.

Pretty keen on the rubber pending price. I was in the process of painting and restoring a spare cowl for just this purpose, but so far have been unable to find a replacement rubber strip.

Im still working on it, its a bit of a slow process...

I gave them a sample, cut of from my own rubber strip, which the supplier apparantly 'misplaced' so I gave them another and the supplier is sending back their closest match (all done via snail mail) should be a couple of days and they will give me a call and I'll go out and pick up the sample to see how it fits and gets some photos, measurements, comparisons etc... and pricing of course...

nope Ive had no luck in finding a replacement rubber strip, only the OEM replacement cowling @ $220 each...

so I remove the deteriorated rubber strip, sanded and sprayed the cowling plastic & the wiper arms in satin black, looks good...

it does look good... I fully recommend everyone to do it...

I'll see what I can do about pics, but pretty much they are going to show a nicely satin black coated version of what you have...lol...

just make sure you prep them well before painting....

Correct . I will try over weekend to post a pic haven't done so before.

Hey mate sorry can't get pic upload having sync problems. But it pretty straight forward I did my brothers today all you do is remove the factory silicon/selant with thin flat head, wipe clean, squeeze black silicon into the channel of the strip that sits under cowl just don't o.d. it, push seal into place,wipe excess with wet finger or rag take your pick, place a weight on seal and allow to dry..... Voila.

are you saying you stuck the rubber strip down with silicon?

pics?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
