hey man you pm'd me in regards to em, to my knowledge now i went looking in the shed and as it turns out someone (not naming names DAD.) has thrown them away, i'll have another look later on but,

but seriously why on earth would you want them? especially to ahve to go as far as modifying them to fit your car? it's so much effort for something that (no offence) looks dorky

I think you will find that they will require midificatio before they will fit.

You are wanting to so this in order to have chrome stripping? yes?

If that is the case i suggest you take your current door strips to an plating company (the ones that gold/silver plate badges etc. They should be able to sort it out for you and they will fit back onto your car without any dramas.......and should be at a very reasonable cost too :rant:

hmmm, reason...

1) i live near a dirt road so on a hot sunny day i have my window down and need to use my wipers to clear the dust off my window. the deturgent stuff comes straight in.

2) does this attached file look dorky? my opinion... no.

cheers anyway mun

ok well i just had to scrape cum off my legs.

those weatherstrips look nothing like the ceffy ones the ceffy ones look a lot more aggressive and less subtle, you'd be better off going to a japwrecker or even trying ebay?

perhaps 2 door weatherstrips would fit straight up? after all, the 4 door is only 5cm longer than the 2door!

BUT you have the common misconception of weatherstrips... these will not stop water and detergent from trickling into your car! the reason these weatherstrips were made is because a lot (A LOT) of japs smoke cigarettes,

To be able to smoke while driving and not have the pesky side effect of SUFFOCATION occouring due to wound up windows, they put weather strips on so they could have their window cracked open a bit without the cabin getting too blustery!

cos it's cold in japan and simply not feasible to have the window open

hope this clears things up a bit!

cheers fellas

more of that green four door is on HPIv8

have tried all the local jap importers around the place, nothing and tried my nissan dealer, this part can no longer be imported for sum reason.

cheers again.

You wont be able to get them as they are an acessory. I tried with the ceffy ones, no joy.

Id highly doubt you would be able to even find a set, if you did getting them imported Id expect to get them back broken, as they run the whole lenth of the cabin.

Good luck tho.

how about getting in contact with jap wreckers? learn some japanese and DO IT. it can't be that hard and besides they'd just be throwing them away anyways, so you could get them cheap!

being an accessory you would only have to get em posted and that way you don't gotta pay brokerage fees or nothin like that!

give it a goooooOooOOO!

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
