Hi,

Sorry for sounding like a noob, but tonight the plastic cover underneath the engine came off whilst i was driving (i took it off and chucked it in the boot as it was dragging on the road). It was held up there by these plastic fasteners where you push in and it clips in. I don't know what these are called but from the looks of it they also hold/fasten the trim inside the boot as well.

Does anybody know where i can get some spares of these? And what are they called?

Also does it really matter if i don't have the plastic cover underneath the car?

Cheers

Edz

BTW its an R34.

Any good auto store will carry them.

Take a sample in and you should be able to pick them up.

In WA here we have Mal's and Super Cheap that I have seen carry them.

Nissan is also an option but be prepared to bend over and grab your ankles when you ask for a price.

the lower engine cover is usually held in position by short [about 20mm] bolts with attached washers. they and the plastic fasteners can be ordered from Nissan.

I just left them off.

not a good Idea to leave that cover off; it is designed to prevent damage to belts, fan, radiator etc from road debris. also assists with air flow through the radiator.

      I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.

      yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.

      With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)

      Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar.

      This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
