Hi guys

Looking at ordering the stillen skirts from US

Anyone here running them and can give me some non-USA unbiased feedback on fitment. Ive read they attach with exterior double sided tape rather than using the oem screws on the door sill/door opening

Ive always made it a rule when mod'ing my cars to stick with JDM suppliers as i can always gaurantee quality parts, im always hesistant buying stuff from US

cheers

Then dont do it! Stillen reminds me of the late 90s and Hondas...

Anyway, I was at MCR 2 days ago and the whole kit fitted perfectly and looked awesone. Just enough extra showing without too much attention.

Not sure if this is MCR but looked like this.

For those who have never been there, it is basically a tin shed and even the office area is smaller than some of your bathrooms. Still there were 3 R35s their famous Fairlady Z and in the engine room, they showed me the 800ps engine being prepared for their demo R35.

that's the Zele skirts, rear and oem front - JDM cf quality. The stillen skirts are similar in design to the zele, no doubt where their design came from, but just a bit more subtle

MCR do have a few choice products for the 35

the MCR front lip looks good, very similar to the oem 2011 and not as riced out as most lips on the market, and their skirts carry the lip edge theme, but then the oem rear doesnt suit imo

here's the MCR lip, it's not as heavily gtr taxed as the zele parts, ive been quoted around 1200 for the lip through an aussie importer, would be even cheaper for you in japan

what i like about the stillen skirts is how subtle they look and how they tie in well with the oem look, especially once painted black on my car. And really that's all i want to do in terms of 'visual' mods (other than wheels ive already changed) and painted lower sills

check out the install instructions

http://www.stillen.com/product_files/GTRKB12829~inst.pdf

they do re-use the two bolts inside either guard edge, but yep the bulk of the skirt going inside the door sill is double sided taped like the body mouldings on a VN vacationer

it is worrying, hence why im eager to hear feedback from outside of a stillen sponsored forum

Sykaflex. Yep just had a look at the install instructions. I think that the tape would be fine.

Im happy to guy it and send it over to my fellow GTR Aussie owners, just let me know. Im not sure how much money it would save but the Aussie dollar is really strong today so you might want to get in there quick.

thanks for the offer dude, but im loyal to my aussie importer, he's helped me out alot over the years and proven to be able to source even the smallest of items from Japan

waiting for my Top Secret intakes due to arrive next week, and once everything is back to normal in Japan, my Amuse R1 Extra

im waiting on another shipping quote for the Stillens, but looks like that's the way im going. Will be a hassle to go through the process of painting, correcting and clear bra'ing again but should be well worth it once on the car

in the event of smacking one on say a maccas drive thru

haha, I like the fact that no matter what car you drive, we're pretty much all the same.

O/T

I usually hate modified skirts on all manner of cars but those zele ones look quite jizzworthy :thumbsup:

I have the Stillen side skirts installed (see pics), we added extra screws along the length of the skirt into the body work (these are recessed into the skirt itself). I'd be nervous just having the side skirts held on with double sided tape if you are planning on doing any sort of track or tarmac work. Double sided tape might be ok for daily driving though. I can PM you some close up pics of the install if you want.

Cheers

    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
