Sweet, make sure you give both surfaces a good clean with acetone or similar.

Also make sure you have good clamps to apply consistent pressure across the whole joint. I used Sikaflex for my boot lip spoiler, first go let it sit for 24 hours, it came off after a couple of months. Did some more sanding, re-installed and let cure for 48 hours with clamps, much better. http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/438115-how-to-install-boot-lip-and-roof-wing/ . It's only starting to let go a little now, two years later.

Are you planning on blending/smoothing/painting them later on? If so I would use 3m panel bond, only stuff I have used that doesn't separate later on causing cracking issues.
No doubt sika is a great product, but there are better options.

    • I downloaded the apps (for windows) and Consult 1 doesn't have this function on it for the Consult 1 plug which I'm pretty sure all Skylines have. You would think someone would have a workaround after 30 years for all Skylines which have ABS.
    • Also, I don't know the actual ABS system on the skylines, but a sneaky thing could be a piece of electronic equipment that makes the ABS think you're moving, and then same piece can send a signal for a locked up tyre... Activate ABS without slamming brakes...
    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.
