Hi guys,

One of my sides skirts is a bit dodgey (come apart slightly) and I'm

gonna be taking it out and refitting it again. Can someone give me advise on the type of glue to use and what things I should do before I refit the side skirt.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Cheers

Alain

yeah dont use glue please!!! They dont fit well from factory so dont try n match the gap at the front to well cause they are not supposed to fit!! Other than that dont know wat else to say

They have clips holding them when factory but they are hard to get a expensive for what they are.

Get some GOOD double sided tape, the proper stuff they use to hold body moulds on.

The other stuff to use is Sikaflex 221 but once it's dry , god help you if ya wanna get it off again !!

If you see a Skyline cruising the Canberra streets with a guy hanging out the side, that would be me stuck to the side skirt...

only kidding...I think I'll stick to the double sided tape. Someone mentioned 3M UHB is pretty good stuff.

thanks for your comments

cheers

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
