OK, quick story, I bought my Z with some front end damage but I had a body work man bring her back to life. Now she looks great BUT, I noticed my driver HID bulb going out... Long story short, after looking closer at the work done on the front of the car, i see the body guy decided to leave the splash guards OFF and end result is water on the ballast and BLOWN BALLAST and BULB! OK, aside from choking out the body guy, I decided to pull the car apart and do it right(Should have done this the first time but did not have time, now I pay for it) OK, so here is my question.

What are generally used to hold in splash guards? I see pop rivets and some 10 mm bolts. Is their anywhere showing where each one goes? Maybe a schematics.

PS - I am referring to the splash guards inside the fender wells, not the ones generally put on for looks. My tires are throwing water on the headlights when it rains. Pretty nice!

 

Side note, where is the best/quickest place to get the parts? My whole car is currently ripped apart!

 

I believe you are talking about,FENDER LINERS,not splash guards.
They are widely available.You can check Courtesy Nissan in TX online for
the parts and a schematic.Nearer you,check with Z1 Motorsports in Carrollton.
They should have the parts you need.

 

If you want to save a few $'s you could always go to a breakers and buy a pair from them if you have one near you.

 

its funny that you post this up. i recently tore my out fender liners at the track. i could keep them off but since i daily my car i really felt like i need liners for added protection, so i got replacements pop clips and 10mm screws for about 18 dollars at the local nissan parts shop.

Z1 has a full kit for each side of you need everything.

you'll need 3 Plastic Push Clips (63130G) and 4 10mm m7 screws (63130A) per side
Hope this helps.

 

Rock Auto has the liners for much less than Nissan. Got a set for my '08 a year ago and spent maybe 35% of Nissan's price.

 

my passenger side fender liner did the same thing but my ballast didnt blow out i just used a hair dryer and got all the water out of it and it worked fine again, but i used slidegood they had new ones for about $40 i believe or you can buy used ones from them.

Thank you for the responses!


Mapko,

Did you light go out? Or just get water in it?

 

+100 thanks

 

Thank You so much. That is perfect!

 

The liner itself is a little less here:

water got in the ballast and the headlight went out, I dryed up the ballast and the light started working again
