R34 Impul Side Skirts

[wilorichie]

Hey Guys

Just got my r34 impul side skirts delivered.

I tried pre-ftting with my mate, and we didn't get a long way - We played around with it for about an hour and we couldn't figure out what was going on. Had the car jacked and felt like all underneath was all out of wack.

When installing these, do I need to remove the original factory side skirt? It's about 40cm long right near the rear wheel. I felt like it was kind of in the way. Do I leave this on?

Does anyone have any photos of the impul skirts NOT on the car? I would really appreciate any photos provided of their impul skirts on their own.

When it comes down to it - I really need some fitment advice/tips/help!

Cheers

Yes you will need to remove the factory side skirts, then pop on the IMPUL ones

I had the sides off originally and again, didn't do too well.

I thought I could of left it on because of your photos charles. I can see you have your original factory one on still under your new sides.

I'm pretty sure this copy came from monkey warehouse (Because of the return address).

If anyone can supply some close up photos of your impul sides (With your door open) that would be highly appreciated.

I got Impul sides mate, if you are interested you are more than welcome to come check it out.. They are a bit shabby and plan to replace them with new ones but you're more than welcome to see how they were attached.

Mine is a different sideskirt to yours though lol, and yes, my Nismo skirts just overlapped my factory skirts, but I know that there are some skirts out there that requires you to take off the factory skirts.

When i had my Altia kit fitted the stock side skirts were removed as the Altia ones were clipped in its place

Might be different for other side skirts

[dori34]

altia/nismo or watever its called clips into it so yes u have to remove the stock half skirt or watever u guys wanna call it.

Yes wilorichie, mine was fitted with that piece still intact.

I PM'd you back Richie.. Forgot I changed them to bommex when I bought the car.. the impul got damaged.. so I decided to change.. Tottal had a mind blank.. Sorry

Maybe ask in QLD section as i'm sure a few others will have impul they will let you look at..

[dori34]

you probably got a shit copy if it doesn't fit around that piece.

mine fitted up perfectly fine with that piece still in place.

[Charles89]

There are heaps of impul copies flying around the place

[wilorichie]

There is a good reason why there are heaps

Because they are good!

Had mine fitter dori... It fit with the original skirt in tact. The guys that fitted it though didn't line up the side curves properly though... They fitted it really tightly but they had it slightly wrong lol...

Looks really good though, so doesn't line up like most other impuls... But it looks really good how it is lined up (looks like it is supposed to be like that... but its not lol).

Unpainted - Will be painting them myself now on Sunday. Which really sucks because I'm meeting up with sonnyQ (Clint) on Saturday for our tinting. My car is going to look like a bomb with those dodgey unpainted sides!!

[Charles89]

lol xD

If they are fitted TOO tight... The corners might crack due to stress :S

It happened to my front lip lol

I finished spraying the sides the other day, so grabbed the camera and took a few photos for those that where interested.

It is a bit of a story - I mentioned in another thread, that the body shop which fitted these didn't fit them like normal impul skirts. They put screws in the sides of the skirts into the side of the car, I was a bit upset.

I took the job home and wanted to finish it from there.

I left the screws in (holes already in the car) and filled up a little hole they left from the way they installed it.

Once it was fairly smooth, primed it as such

I had a booking with Clint (SonnyQ) for tinting and needed to drive the car - So had asked my misses to help me tape up the car again - Makes life much easier

Car is finally ready for painting

I wish I took some photos doing the coats of colour + clear but didnt Only have the finished result:

looks good mate!

[PewPew]

Nice clean look! I had Impul side skirts and rear bar on my R34

[Tarek_r32]

Looks great suits the car really well

wilorichie- Just a question im getting impul skirts and rear bumper on mine but where abouts did u get yours from and how much?

[wilorichie]

Hey Mate

Ask Shane from PSI Parts. He will be able to sort them out for you.

I paid less for my side skirts for a mokey warehouse copy. They weren't to easy to install (I didn't do it either, paid some body repairs to do it and they said it was bloody hard). They are all fitted etc now, but if I was to do it again, I would purchase the skirts from Shane @ PSI parts. I purchased my rear bumper from him.

I think it was around $400-$450 for the bar delivered (or maybe plus delivery). The extra $100 to PSI parts for the quality fitting part is definitely worth it.
