hey man you pm'd me in regards to em, to my knowledge now i went looking in the shed and as it turns out someone (not naming names DAD.) has thrown them away, i'll have another look later on but,

but seriously why on earth would you want them? especially to ahve to go as far as modifying them to fit your car? it's so much effort for something that (no offence) looks dorky

I think you will find that they will require midificatio before they will fit.

You are wanting to so this in order to have chrome stripping? yes?

If that is the case i suggest you take your current door strips to an plating company (the ones that gold/silver plate badges etc. They should be able to sort it out for you and they will fit back onto your car without any dramas.......and should be at a very reasonable cost too :rant:

hmmm, reason...

1) i live near a dirt road so on a hot sunny day i have my window down and need to use my wipers to clear the dust off my window. the deturgent stuff comes straight in.

2) does this attached file look dorky? my opinion... no.

cheers anyway mun

ok well i just had to scrape cum off my legs.

those weatherstrips look nothing like the ceffy ones the ceffy ones look a lot more aggressive and less subtle, you'd be better off going to a japwrecker or even trying ebay?

perhaps 2 door weatherstrips would fit straight up? after all, the 4 door is only 5cm longer than the 2door!

BUT you have the common misconception of weatherstrips... these will not stop water and detergent from trickling into your car! the reason these weatherstrips were made is because a lot (A LOT) of japs smoke cigarettes,

To be able to smoke while driving and not have the pesky side effect of SUFFOCATION occouring due to wound up windows, they put weather strips on so they could have their window cracked open a bit without the cabin getting too blustery!

cos it's cold in japan and simply not feasible to have the window open

hope this clears things up a bit!

cheers fellas

more of that green four door is on HPIv8

have tried all the local jap importers around the place, nothing and tried my nissan dealer, this part can no longer be imported for sum reason.

cheers again.

You wont be able to get them as they are an acessory. I tried with the ceffy ones, no joy.

Id highly doubt you would be able to even find a set, if you did getting them imported Id expect to get them back broken, as they run the whole lenth of the cabin.

Good luck tho.

how about getting in contact with jap wreckers? learn some japanese and DO IT. it can't be that hard and besides they'd just be throwing them away anyways, so you could get them cheap!

being an accessory you would only have to get em posted and that way you don't gotta pay brokerage fees or nothin like that!

give it a goooooOooOOO!

    • Yeah they charge a little extra for mods , last year I noted no mods but I did have an exhaust fitted after that so  better to let them know cause these kinds of things can cause the policy to be void if you ever need to claim.
    • Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.
    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
