Just says Grommet-screw on my packets from Nissan. The fronts are different to the back one indicated with the red arrow. pretty sure the rear one you can get at autobahn, the fronts are a bit funky to incorporated the plastic strengthener bar that gets screwed on from under the bar. I bought 2 packs of 10 of each from nissan, worked out to around $30 for the lot.

Thanks jase_c! I ended up lopping both white clips off as Nissan wanted more than what you stated. I purchased an aftermarket clip grommet screw from Jefferson's Paint Supplies on McIntyre Road in Sunshine, Victoria. It wasn't a direct fit, however, I used cement adhesive around the circumference of the clip to the body, keeping it in place. Coupled with the bolt, the inner two sides of the grommet spays out, keeping it nice and secure.

Digging up an old thread- but save started a new one. Mods, please let me know if this isn't allowed..

 

I've got the same trouble, need to replace the clips circled in blue on the original post. For the life of me, I can't find anywhere that stocks grommet screws that 'splay' wide enough to hold. They'll fit in the hole, but when clipped in aren't big enough to hold.

Any other suggestions? Does anyone know the specific size required? 

 

Thanks.

    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
    • Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.
    • A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!
    • I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
    • From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
