Just says Grommet-screw on my packets from Nissan. The fronts are different to the back one indicated with the red arrow. pretty sure the rear one you can get at autobahn, the fronts are a bit funky to incorporated the plastic strengthener bar that gets screwed on from under the bar. I bought 2 packs of 10 of each from nissan, worked out to around $30 for the lot.

Thanks jase_c! I ended up lopping both white clips off as Nissan wanted more than what you stated. I purchased an aftermarket clip grommet screw from Jefferson's Paint Supplies on McIntyre Road in Sunshine, Victoria. It wasn't a direct fit, however, I used cement adhesive around the circumference of the clip to the body, keeping it in place. Coupled with the bolt, the inner two sides of the grommet spays out, keeping it nice and secure.

Digging up an old thread- but save started a new one. Mods, please let me know if this isn't allowed..

 

I've got the same trouble, need to replace the clips circled in blue on the original post. For the life of me, I can't find anywhere that stocks grommet screws that 'splay' wide enough to hold. They'll fit in the hole, but when clipped in aren't big enough to hold.

Any other suggestions? Does anyone know the specific size required? 

 

Thanks.

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
