Ok guys/gals, how do you remove weather shields (without butchering)them from around doors. There seems to be a series of small clips

& maybe glued or double/side tape. Any help appreciated.

Cheers Shane

The clips just have little plastic nuts on their underside; undo them.

The double sided tape/ glue; heat gently with a hairdryer to soften and use a length of fishing line or builders string slipped between the two surafces to saw through.

Don't try to pry them off; they can be brittle & easy to crack, just take your time :thumbsup:

That sikaflex is serious #%it...I'll never get the suckers off if needed ones thinks. Might go the 3m double sided route.

Thanks for imput.

just make sure its good, under a speed they may fly of if they arent secure

i tried 3m double sided. didnt stand up to the summer heat after the car had been sitting in the car park at work all day - soon as i hit the freeway the tape pulled free.

i used sikaflex on the front section that runs down the a-pillar, and on the top it's just held on by tape and the tabs.

but you're right - sikaflex is awesome stuff until you want to get rid of it!

  • Sikaflex® - PRO Polyurethane (PU) Sealant
  • Sikaflex® - 11FC Polyurethane (PU) Adhesive/Sealant
  • Sikaflex® - 221 Industrial Adhesive/Sealant
  • Sikaflex® - 227 Automotive Adhesive/Sealant
  • Sikaflex® - 295UV Marine Sealant/Adhesive

Which one did you use as Im putting them on ?

Thanks Mark.

the automotive adhesive

fantastic stuff. used it for the past 10 years and it has never failed.

if you make a mess, clean it up with prepsol before it dries. wear gloves too, because it will stain your fingers for a few days and gets impossibly deep under your finger nails!

How can we best get new ones? Group buy?

Im keen on a set for my S2 C34. Both driver and passenger sides. group buy sounds like a good idea.

I would buy a new pair. I believe they were still available ex-Japan recently...perhaps get someone like Kudos Motorsport (great bloke!), Justjap, KDS Parts etc onto it?

Question;

My clips on both sides just seem to be...clips? I couldn't see any plastic nuts.

Could well be slightly different on yours; on the M35, they have little plastic nuts (Thumbwheels really) though.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
