S14 owners with NAVAN side skirts
Just wondering how you guys secured the side skirts?
I noticed the mounting holes in the rear do not line up on my kouki wheel wells at all. Should I drill them?

I made plates for mine out of some aluminum flat stock and rivnuts for the rear to use the OE holes. Like the others have said, you can use some self tapping screws to secure them. I also used said rivnuts to attach the lower brackets to the body with the OE holes at the front for the fender liners.

Rear side skirts on all s-chassis seem to mount with brackets that pretty sandwich the fender wall. I did something similar to what jr_ss did with my S13 skirts.

What all did you guys buy? My car is an SE, but I have none of the OEM hardware. I was gonna buy all of it. I assume it's like $100 per side

You can use rivnuts or which ever way you want to secure it. I just like using oem stuff when available. |

If you want to do it right you'd get these
http://www.courtesyparts.com/76500j-...-p-138684.html and these http://www.courtesyparts.com/76897ea...-p-138694.html and these http://www.courtesyparts.com/78910b-...-p-138697.html and these http://www.courtesyparts.com/63830ea...-p-138679.html and some screws like jr_ss posted in his first pic Or just use double sided and screws on the ends and hope it holds. |

The skirts also have mounts on the lower portion. I didn't post a picture of these but they can be attached by sheet metal screws directly into the body or installing rivnuts like I used on those small plates and bolting them on.

I got my clips from the dealership. Its not exactly the same clip. However, the differences shouldn't affect mounting. They came with a plastic insert which can easily be removed.

So I had a chance to try out the j-nuts and did a test fit with my NAVAN skirts. The J-nuts fit the the quarter panels perfectly. Make sure you use #12 sized metal body screw with the large sized head/washer to help distribute the clamp load across the skirt.
I also used new grommets in the front fenders because my old ones where beat to hell. I used an aftermarket company that sells a pack of 25 for about $15. This comes in handy for the rest of the front end. Other parts of the fenders use these grommets to secure them and keep them straight. As you can see, with the new grommets in the front and the Kouki J-nuts in quarter panels the skirts mount perfectly and hug the body of the car even without the need for 3M body tape. 3M tape is still needed for final installation. Take a look at some pics I took. Sorry about the lighting. Last edited by Agamemnon; 09-08-2017 at 08:23 PM.. |

^^^eBay
Agamemnon, you seem to have this in the bag...mind elaborating the names of the parts corresponding with the numbers in the scanned pic up top? It seems that Au-Ve-Co has all the parts...found this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/au-ve-co-u-t...item2a13e03a11 are these the #9 pieces that you refer to J nuts? can we get a list going with the amounts needed for a set to put it together if you don't mind, it will benefit me and the rest of us, I don't read japanese and there doesn't seem to be a definitive thread that lists how many of what part and/or a comparable part associated with it such as your grommets from Au-Ve-Co part number 20764 which I found...also I don't know what part goes into what area for that matter...can you help out or point out where there is a proper diagram to where which part goes...nissan diagrams are kind of vague. Thank you kindly Ken |
