Nissan Fastener Thingies

[Atomnaya]

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

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.

Are you talking about those weathershield things? Just leave them off? Or is it possible to just use zip ties and tie them back on?

I just left them off.

I bought some from Nissan last time, they were only a few bucks (as opposed to normal!!)

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.
