Hey Guys

Just got my r34 impul side skirts delivered.

I tried pre-ftting with my mate, and we didn't get a long way - We played around with it for about an hour and we couldn't figure out what was going on. Had the car jacked and felt like all underneath was all out of wack.

When installing these, do I need to remove the original factory side skirt? It's about 40cm long right near the rear wheel. I felt like it was kind of in the way. Do I leave this on?

Does anyone have any photos of the impul skirts NOT on the car? I would really appreciate any photos provided of their impul skirts on their own.

When it comes down to it - I really need some fitment advice/tips/help!

Cheers

I had the sides off originally and again, didn't do too well.

I thought I could of left it on because of your photos charles. I can see you have your original factory one on still under your new sides.

I'm pretty sure this copy came from monkey warehouse (Because of the return address).

If anyone can supply some close up photos of your impul sides (With your door open) that would be highly appreciated.

I got Impul sides mate, if you are interested you are more than welcome to come check it out.. They are a bit shabby and plan to replace them with new ones but you're more than welcome to see how they were attached.

Mine is a different sideskirt to yours though lol, and yes, my Nismo skirts just overlapped my factory skirts, but I know that there are some skirts out there that requires you to take off the factory skirts.

I PM'd you back Richie.. Forgot I changed them to bommex when I bought the car.. the impul got damaged.. so I decided to change.. Tottal had a mind blank.. Sorry

Maybe ask in QLD section as i'm sure a few others will have impul they will let you look at..

There is a good reason why there are heaps ;)

Because they are good!

Had mine fitter dori... It fit with the original skirt in tact. The guys that fitted it though didn't line up the side curves properly though... They fitted it really tightly but they had it slightly wrong lol...

Looks really good though, so doesn't line up like most other impuls... But it looks really good how it is lined up (looks like it is supposed to be like that... but its not lol).

Unpainted - Will be painting them myself now on Sunday. Which really sucks because I'm meeting up with sonnyQ (Clint) on Saturday for our tinting. My car is going to look like a bomb with those dodgey unpainted sides!! :(

I finished spraying the sides the other day, so grabbed the camera and took a few photos for those that where interested.

It is a bit of a story - I mentioned in another thread, that the body shop which fitted these didn't fit them like normal impul skirts. They put screws in the sides of the skirts into the side of the car, I was a bit upset.

I took the job home and wanted to finish it from there.

I left the screws in (holes already in the car) and filled up a little hole they left from the way they installed it.

Once it was fairly smooth, primed it as such

I had a booking with Clint (SonnyQ) for tinting and needed to drive the car - So had asked my misses to help me tape up the car again - Makes life much easier :D

Hey Mate

Ask Shane from PSI Parts. He will be able to sort them out for you.

I paid less for my side skirts for a mokey warehouse copy. They weren't to easy to install (I didn't do it either, paid some body repairs to do it and they said it was bloody hard). They are all fitted etc now, but if I was to do it again, I would purchase the skirts from Shane @ PSI parts. I purchased my rear bumper from him.

I think it was around $400-$450 for the bar delivered (or maybe plus delivery). The extra $100 to PSI parts for the quality fitting part is definitely worth it.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
