I'm trying to find a part number for the grommets and screws that secure the nismo and probably other side skirts onto a '98 S1 RS4 stagea.

The ones i need fit into a 10mm round hole under the car, the plastic bit pushes into the body and then there is a screw which screws in fastening the metal side skirt bracket to the body.

I've been into nissan but thew weren't much help and pretty much gave up before they started and the one they did come up with was a square plug.

If I'm not asking to much could someone also look up the clips that snap in from the side also, I found some that half work but if i could get the correct one that would be great.

Thanks

Aaron

Keen to hear this one myself; mine is missing a couple of the screws.

Also if you could come up with the P/N and description for the sideskirt endcap for a S1 Dayz, rear drivers side, it would be a godsend.

Ok, so far I've been into Motortraders, Sprints, Supercheap, Autobahn, Nissan, 2 paint and panel places and done a lot of searching on the net. The closest I can come up with is a Hyundai & Kia Headlight Assembly Grommet Whith is nothing like the original.

No one seems to make much for round holes, there is heaps of stuff atound for square holes and smaller round holes but very very little in the size that we need.

I went into another Nissan dealer today, we managed to find the side skirt fitting kit, and the end cap(I'm missing one too) but unfortunatly the trail ended there, the part was no longer listed or something.

Get all the codes anyway, theres a few avenues to try. Given the random Japan specific sh..stuff I can still get for my 21 year old HR31 new from Nissan, I'd be surprised if much of anything is NLA for the stags.

but...you just need an equaivalent faster, not the same.

if it has a hole and access to the back....a bolt with nut will work if necessary.

if it is a hole within 1cm of the edge of the sheet you can use the spring clips that take self tapping screws.

if its a hole with no access to the back get any of the plastic clips with the right outer diameter and shove them in. when it comes no nylone grommets a square peg most certainly will fit in round hole :)

worst case most bodykits in this world are held on with double sided tape...

do you have a pic of the problem?

    • In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 馃槢
    • I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.
    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
