Can some one clarify and or post some pictures of how the inner front fender "protector" (rear half) connects to the front fender????

main question and struggle is does the lip of the inner fender plastic protector guard go under or over the lip of the fender above the wheel?

and so should the lip of the fender be visible or should you see the edge of the inner fender protector guard over lapping the fender lip?

and so the "clips" that hold them on would go through the guard then into the fender?  or through the fender into the guard?

(my guess would be the clip goes through the guard then into the fender, if they used "standard" push in body clip but all these items are gone and i cant find any wear or indent showing me how they once where installed)

A word of caution. We don't use the word fender here. What you call the fender, we call the guard (well, technically and more fully, the mudguard).

We'd call the plastic the guard liner or something similar. Or the fender liner, seeing as we're hit with so much American influence. But I digress.

The plastic is concealed. If you look up towards the lip (fender/guard lip), you see metal. The plastic is behind/on top. Exposed plastic is nasty.

    • Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.
    • hrmmm , not mine , easter plans to pull engine not happening     
    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
