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:

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!

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?

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

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.

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
