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

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
