Hey ive got some 400R skirts and rear GTR pods off my old car which i want to install on my new one. My old 33 had the holes drilled etc and brackets to fit the pods which wrap around the rear bar, but my new 33 has never had any after market kit on it; therefore im looking for ways i can do the install.

What would be the best way to mount the side skirts? ( i dont want to only use sikaflex etc ... needs to be secure )

And how do you mount GTR pods on a GTST? (doesnt seem to be much info on this? is a "glue" the only way??)

Any help is appreciated . But preferably i'd like some detailed steps :D

Car is a series 2 :cheers:

I'd go sikaflex first (Held into place with clamps) and once set, screw onto the brackets/holes..

Had to remove my bodykit when I bought my skyline with a Stanley Knife... and really thinking of trying to NOT use ANY sikaflex so I can easy clean under my skirts etc..

Not sure if its possible while keeping good strength..

some factory skirts come with the plastic clips.

skirts I fitted to mazda 6s were like this.

if you done the holes right, no bonding agent needed.

I never used sikaflex on them, and didnt get any coming back.

The skirt is completely fiberglass with no clips or anything. Have decided to paint them, then use a little bit of sikaflex at the top of each skirt so i can let that dry, then angle them. Once im happy im just going to drill a through the marked hole in the skirt (so, technically the body) and then bolt them to the car (once ive found/bought some good nuts/bolts etc)

    • 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.
