Removing weather shields


Recommended Posts

i was wondering the same thing because i plan on taking mine off as soon as i get time, i wasnt sure about how to get the tags at the back of the front door off as there between the black plastic strip that goes up next to the glass and the door frame. (from memory, could be wrong)

does the black plastic strip need to come off first to get to the tag?

i really can't remember

if i remember rightly you gotta wind the window down, then go from the inside, it took me one go to get this right... one go in the sense i didn't do it right and bent one of my chromes a little bit...

definately NOT crunk.

id like to keep mine on, but im missing the front left one so will take the rest off, havent worried about it too much but would look better with either all of them or none of them...

i probabl should have the aircon canister regassed and refitted though,

another for the very very long and growing to do list

Well when mine landed one was missing. And by the time the compliancing was done only one was left on! so now i've taken all of them off but the metal bits are still on.

So from the inside ha? I'll have to take another look.

Also can you get new chrome strips? Mine are in really poor shape.

Hopefully by next week my ceffie will be on the road. After being in the country for 2 months now! Will post pics as soon as its registered and cleaned up. Atm it's in my gararge on stands (putting in new coilovers to pass blue slip)

yes you can they cost $6 and come in a tube called "autosol" scrub like crazy but!

just removed mine then :)

only takes 5 minute,

front doors: the rear screw is visible on the inside, the other 2 screws are under the wide horizontal rubber section of seal, just peel back the small section you need too to get a screw driver in there

rear doors: theres only a screw on the front tag which is visible on the inside, just remove the screw and slide the shield forward gently and itll come straight off,

hope that helps.

now to get some auutosol

    • Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
    • Is the RB26 actually that far off the mark? Honestly from where I'm sitting a VR38DETT is not actually that much more advanced than the RB26. Yes, there is a scavenge pump on the VR38, it's smarter in a number of ways but it's not actually jumping out to me as alien technology. Something like a B58 or V35A-FTS on the other hand has so many surprising little design features that add up to be something that just isn't comparable.
