hey guys, got my JMS nismo lip copy today and I really have no idea how im going to mount it, its a fiberglass lip with a large cavity, virtually only leaving a Line to mount it with.

It seems that mounting it with double sided tape will be useless so some sort of adhesive is needed. What adhesive could I use that wont be harmful to my paint and still provide a decent amount of hold and which is not so permanent that I cant remove it. Anyway, can someone help me.

Regards

Kim

Can anyone help?

get some liquid urethane i just stuck my skirts and pods on with it, forget double sided tape the best stuff is still rubbish.. . the only catch for you is that they arent comming off easy!! no problem for me tho i never want them off :wassup:

not sure what brand it was or what shop its purchasable from, at a guess id say windscreens o'brien but dont quote me. My body man is in charge of the presige work in town, as in porsche, ferrari, lambo, audi, jag etc so i never doubt what we do to my car. good luck

if u use urethane, it will work but if u ever take it off then the paint on ur bootlid will be rooted.

if the lip isn't painted then u should shave it so the cavity sits flush with the bootlid and then use double sided tape. but if the cavity is too big then fill it with urethane, smooth it out, wait a day for it to dry, then use double sided tape to stick it on.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
