Is it safe to drive your car with out the mud guards underneath the engine bay?

[Amadeo]

Well i lost the entire piece whilst driving so i have nothing protecting the engine bay from mud or water.

Should i find a replacement or would it be fine?

i dunno

i took off the bottom piece for the oil change

took off the ones in the guard due to scrubbing

might put them back on later after i bang in the grooves with a hammer

[Amadeo]

Hi ecl,

I drive an r34 gt-t also.

Are you willing to sell your ones?

If so how much are you asking for?

[Duncan]

I hope its safe, mine blew off about 3klm over the NT border when we gave it some.

About a year ago

If you mean the intercooler guard... Mine fell apart and started scraping on the road... So i took it off and no problem so far. (2 months though)

???

I run without any undertray and both my wheel well liners are gone. No problems.

T.

[Slide]

most people that install aftermarket fron bars do not have them on

i dont havnt for a month or so also drove through flooded road in order to get home and it went fine.

LOL

Same as mine i fut the GTR bar on and they were to short so they would scrap the road, they got reduced further in size after the road gave them a sand job but a couple cable ties fixed that!!!

[Amadeo]

LOL, love the stories. Mine fell off because i drove around with no front bar for 2 days as it was getting a respray. Whilst driving on the freeway i begain to hear some scraping noise but i ignored it for a while and then i heard some thing clatter near my guards and before i knew it i heard a loud bang and i looked in my rear view and saw the whole thing fly off. I wanted to go back and retrieve it but there was a highway patrol coming in the opposite direction and so to avoid any confrontations' i decided to let it go (code red). Not happy but since you guys seem to be going fine i guess I'll join the club! : )

The only thing I would be worried about would be driving on gravel with no inner guards on. You'll end up getting hundreds of tiny dents on the inside of your front guards that'll stick up.

[Ronin 09]

No, don't run without it. your engine will fall out, causing catastrophic vehicle failure.

[krzysiu]

I need one of them for my r33, the only problem of not having one is that your engine bay gets really really really really dirty.

EDIT: which flaps are we torking about, the one that behind the bumper? or the one that is under the engine?

[IanH]

I fiited an aftermarket frontbar and soon after I lost all three trays (under engine and both wheel arch ones) at a circuit with a Porsche Carrera 4 inches behind me. Huge bang (thought he'd hit me) followed by lots of light flashing

[CWest]

HAHAHAHA

I thought i was the only one that had lost mine. Mine came of as well with a huge bang.

[benm]

Ronin you're going alittle overboard however I did swap my std nissan tray for a nismo 1 and picked up around 6rwkw... true story

ok ok, it didn't fall out.

it's lucky i had the intake plenum zip tied to the nismo strut brace; it held the motor nicely

[Amadeo]

Hmmm , well nothing a few cable ties can't handle!

[Amadeo]

I think i kind of believe you there benm, i've noticed that more air is coming into my car and the turbo is much more responsive and the spooling noise is much much much more louder without the under tray.

[Jordan]

w00t, I have cableties holding the corners of my front bar off the road. Best. Invention. Ever.

Hey thats what ive done until i go and get them replaced. It looks funny though, bits of string holding the tray from scraping on the road.
