Just got my nismo side skirts in and I picked up new mounting hardware from nissan. I was hoping someone can give me some details about the mounting process, I assume all my lower mounting holes are present but what about the upper portion of the rear pieces?

Cheers

just uses double sided tape afaik

how much was the mounting hardware? what did it consist of?

would love to take mine apart clean and re fit

Just double sided tape won't do it. Maybe for the guard section, in front of the rear wheel. I mounted mine a few months ago. (3m tape). If you don't have the clips then sikaflex may be a option.

Best option is getting the clips and doing it properly.

Good info - slowridn73. They're a pain to track down part numbers etc

Use 3M PT1100 double sided tape. It's made for that kind of stuff. The Original side spats fits perfectly to the chassic, you wont get any problems with this tape.

Using it myself for two years now. Best tape for exterieur parts like side skirts or spats. But let it harden for a few hours after you applied it, best with a slight pressure against the spats.

Double sided tape works best and its the way it's supposed to be done, don't f**k about with any type of glue you will regret it!

Double sided tape + clips. Water, dust and grime deteriorate the tape on the underside of the car. Plus it's super easy to line up with the clips.

    • 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.
