waar is die fotos?

Gaan dit nie die lugvloei na die intercooler beinvloed nie? Hoe gaan jy dit beheer/verbeter?
Ja foto's asb....

Ek is ook bekommerd oor die lugvloei na intercooler - Malcolm moet toets en vir ons terguvoering gee

Malcome, did not think about that hole you oil burners have to have in your bonnet! Sure that protector is not going to work!! I will gladly take it off your hands, but of course it is used now so half price :rolling: :rolling:

Philip, die fotos is die 3e post op die vorige bladsy.

Ek kan nie sien hoe iets bo op die buitekant van die bonnet die radiator se lugvloei kan belemmer nie.... dis die selfde shape as die bonnet se "neus". Ek dink nie Nissan sal so iets verkoop sonder 'n waarskuwing as dit die 3.0TDi sal benadeel nie!

My Patrol het nie meer die intercooler bo-op die enjin nie, Cirus het my Patrol geleen om 'n GROOT "front mount" intercooler vir die 3.0TDi te ontwikkel en hom sommer vir my op die voertuig gelos. Op die foto van reg van voor kan jy sien sy intake op die enjinkap is toegemaak van die binne kant af.

Ons praat van bo-op, in die pad van die lugvloei na die intercooler.....

Malcom, dit maak baie sin, die bonnet protector sal nie 'n invloed op die lugvloei vir 'n front mounted intecooler he nie.

Ek is wel versigtig vir die top-mount want dit kan die lug oor die schoop druk, veral teen lae snelhede.

Ek stuur jou 'n PM oor die cirus frontmount.

JP is working on those widow shields as well, will give some feedback when we know

Now all we need it the headlight protectors, anyone with any leads??
I'll be interested in those window shields. That specific item was something that the guys at Nissan couldn't source for me.

Kirbster you should be able to order the "Weathershield slimline (front doors only)" window shields with part no. H0850VB000A

Hey Bruce

I ordered the Window Shields today from Droomers Nissan in Paarl today. R1003.35 including fitment. I'll post pictures once they've arrived and are fitted.

Cheers

Mine came with 2 small dark grey clips for the ends. These fit on the outside (top) of the bonnet.

It also with 4 white plastic bits that fit into 4 holes on the underside of the bonnet to enable you to screw the screws to the bottom side of the bonnet.

Then there are 4 shortish black self tapping screws and 4 black plastic/nylon washers.

Clip the plasric clips to the ends to the bonnet protector and put the protector on the bonnet to see which are the correct pre-drilled holes under the front lip of the bonnet where you will have to fit the white clips to.

Fit the white clips and now you can fit the screws and washers through the protectors. You will have to force the perspex against the white clips. You will see these lock together to prevent the clip from spinning as you turn the screw into the clip. Once that is done you can paste the supplied little clear plastic protective stickers to to outside of the bonnet where you are going to clip the two grey clips onto the outer front edges. This is to prevent the clip from scratching the paintwork.

Then the fitment is complete.

If you did not get this small plastic packet inside the big bag containing the protector, then I would suggest you take it back to the Nissan Agent where you bought it from because the shipment was incomplete.

Best of luck.

Thank you very much for the reply. It turns out that I am the Tool in this instance, I just didnt look properly. The attachment kit was stuck in the bottom of the box. :imsorry:
