I need some help identifying this part off my 1996 R33 GT-R Vspec (See pics below). After having a go on a skip pan this piece has come off the underside of the car. It looks to be some kind of cover but having a quick look under the car I can't see where it came from. Does anyone know what it is and where it goes? Any photos would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

tried to find some photos but no luck mate,

ne way its a crash pan or skid plate whatever people call it now

all it does is protect the engine and transmission from rocks,dirt, rabbits and small children, there nice to have but there not a necessity, they usually start rattling or scraping eventually so ur better of with out it. if u really want it back on just get under the car and line up the holes to some of the cross members, judging by the height of the side it probably goes near ur transfercase and transmission probably off to the side.

and while ur removing guards, its a good idea to remove the front liners in the wheel wells of the front wells. they tend to fall off while driving and get sucked under your front tires an BAM! no steering, usually happens just before a corner lol.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
