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.

    • Hi all, I’ve just finished fitting the timing belt on my RB25, following the standard procedure: rotate the crank twice, release the tensioner, then tighten it down. The belt feels tight, and you can see that clearly in the picture below I’ve heard some people say it’s actually better for the belt to be slightly loose rather than too tight, as excessive tension can lead to snapping. So that’s in the back of my mind. What I’m seeing is this:  • At idle, the belt looks fine.  • But when cranking and especially when revving (around 3–4,000 RPM), there’s a momentary flap/flex or flicker in the belt, which I’ve tried to capture in the video. So my question is — based on what you see, is this slight belt movement something you’d consider normal, or am I just being OCD? Could this amount of movement cause sync issues? Or is it just a harmless bit of flex under load?   from what I know belt flap and flex is expected when crank spins up and pull cam with it Would appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences.     IMG_7656.mov IMG_7657.mov
    • I've replaced the front brakes of my NA to 324 brembos and 350z calipers: i'm going for 225/40-18 up front and 245/35-18 in the back. I have Rays 7.5*19 ET35(225/35) in the front with 5mm spacers otherwise the calipers "lock up/ won't rotate". When i use the calculator i come up with 8*18 ET30 for 225/40...... but not sure i get problems with the calipers. Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"? In the back it's 7.5*9 ET30 (245/30) with the 5mm spacers, but there is no problem with the standard small brakes, so i want to take 8.5*18 ET25 (245/35).
    • Lol.. but then.. always come back to a JDM..
    • Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.
    • The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.
