Hey all,

If i had my car with me at the moment i would take a photo to show exactly what i am talking about, but having said that i'll try to explain...

I'm wondering if anyone knows where to purchase the plastic screw in clips that hold a lot of the front bar into the reo bar ( on a series 1 R33 anyway)

they same sort of concept also holds the plastic panels that sit just in front of your front wheels.

I guess over the years many of mine had become quite brittle and on removal of my front bar and the like to install a fmic today, i few got broken.

Also i'm in melbourne ;)

thanks

Camden

Your local paint/body shop will be able to fix you up.

awesome. i had figured that body shops would carry such things, but hopefully they don't ask some silly amount of money just coz they can ;)

Maybe you can purchase a small bag of them lol. Tell us how you go, I've broken a fair few of mine too :(

pretty sure they are at supercheap also...

Have been past both Supercheap, Autobarn and Bunnings today whom all only stocked automotive clips that i certainly use to find all the time in interiors of cars (tree design) but nothing of the type ive found holding on the outer components of my 33. will start visiting some smash repair places tomorrow (if i can be farked going out in the 40+ degree heat we are having in melbourne)

Cheers

my repairer sorted mine bout when replacing my front bar.. dont suppose u have tried nissan yet?

I did goto nissan cambewell yesterday who were as unhelpful as last time i went there (they really arn't interested in helping people with imports)

nissan brighton on the otherhand have been more than helpful in the past sourcing me many little bits and pieces, just havent had time to drop past there yet.

I also dropped into a repairer near where im working on my car in collingwood called LA. They were a great help and said they normally would have that style of clip but just didnt have any left. They suppied me with a similar style of clip in mean time.

    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
    • Not far. If all you want to do is know that they will reciprocate and move oil around a tiny bit, then a metre or so is all you need. Half metre fore and aft is enough.
    • That's the spirit!
    • It's fine. Basically if it has seized (eg due to moisture/rust in the bores) it will either break free on the starter or it won't turn....then you'll know it is freed up If it turns and doesn't start (reasonably likely) you will need to troubleshoot but most likely issue is a seized injector from moisture; same if it starts but missfires. Anything else could have happened (eg mice nibbling electricals) but the only way to find out is to close your eyes and hit the key I'd also change the fuel filter again after a few minutes of running as it may catch a heap of crap on first start
