Hey

I want to remove this thing but I don't know how.

I don't even know what its called.. "Car Window Shading Ugly Brown Stuff"

It seems to be taped down with double sided tape. Not sure tho, if I try to pull it, the tape thing kind of stretches and looks sticky.

How do I properly remove it? Is there like products to remove it? What do I do? It's so brown and I hate it lol

Also there are some metal clip things hooking onto the black rubber thing attached to the car: shown in the pics..

I think they are called wind deflectors, that's what I call them anyway. Get a bit of packing tape to cut through the double sided tape. Looking at your pictures it hard to tell how the metal clips are holding to the deflector but the metal clips should just be sitting under the door rubber seal. If there is any tape left on the car get some prepsol and plastic pry tool or even use your fingers. Just squirt some prepsol on the tape hold a rag underneath to catch all the excess prepsol and let it sit or a minute or 2 and repeat a few times. After a few squirts of prepsol use a plastic pry tool or you finger to remove the tape. Might take a few goes to remove it all.

Deller,

It's just that I took up a new goal for my car to be black and not having any parts being a different colour, with the exception of white, and not brown.

Like just recently I've ordered smoked white indicator lights with orange bulbs to replace the current orange ones and also painted my wheels black.

So yeah.. anyways..

thanks olloSKYLINEollo

Will see how it goes thumbsup.gif

Paint it black? I don't think that would look very good.. yucky.gif

I'd rather remove it for a better look.

It didn't bother me much until I kept seeing other R34's without it.

It just bottled up inside and only just recently I'm like " Thats it, its coming off! "

Then why don't you just paint them black?....

Mine are turning purple/brown.

Would you recommend just painting them black (non see through) or with those black (smoked) lens paints?

I personally would recommend CF wrapping it haha.

But to your question, I reckon smoked is cool

RIght.....

I am in the process of starting up a thread with all the stuff iv done to my car in the past.

One of the things I did do was paint these "window wind protector things".....I painted them with a plastic primer and then gloss black paint....

They match my car...and look awesome....

They are also quite handy...they keep the wind off your face (if you drive with your window open) and more importantly..they keep the water droplets off...

Like when you wash your windscreen and all the annoying water bits spray on you...it helps..trust me

Also they act as a good sunshade...

Why remove them..when you can paint them....and / or wrap them in carbon fibre etc..

I would rather you just paint them..but then again..thats just me

Cheers

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
