best bet is to find some genuine plastic skirts and pods unless you like a certain aftermarket look, make sure they are painted the same colour as the car, to attach the skirt i would suggest using a trolley jack under the diff to lift the rear wheels off the ground and take the rear wheels off for access the the inner arch, and turn the front wheels to full lock so u have access again to the inner arch.

i would suggest drilling 1/8th holes first b4 using screws in the arches, use tech screws underneath or drill holes and repeat underneath. where it sits against the guard and quarter use sikaflex 260 i think it is from memory, and run a small bead 1cm down from the edge and not to high, and that is how i would/have done to affix the skirt.

with the pod the same deal, 1/8th hole in the arch and screw in and sikaflex 260 the rest of it as the same b4, use masking tape (2inch wide) to hold it onto the panel and wait 8 hours for the sikaflex to dry. and you should be set, use prepsol (wax and grease remover) to get rid of any excess sikaflex b4 it goes hard.

hope this helps too make your car look the way you want it.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
