Installing Kouki sideskirts on my Zenki? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

BlackZenkiS14 · 04-11-2006, 12:58 AM

So i picked up some Kouki sideskirts for my 96 S14, and i was wondering how you zenki guys install them on your cars.

Do they just bolt right on, or do i need special hardware etc...
If you have any info that can help me, please post up.
BTW, i searched and didnt find what i wanted. So if you know of a better thread that will help me please feel free to point me to it.

AFter market or OEM? I sold my kouki skirts to a guy that had a zenki... fit like a freakin glove. They were URAS type IIs

double sided tape + self-tapping screws

the body style is the same just different front end/ tail lights/ aero.
it will fit right on
zip ties and ds tape are your friends.

put some double sided tape on the sides, and put self tapping screws at the bottom. thats about it, pretty much self explanatory.

double sided tape is the ghetto method.

the real and OEM direction is to drill the holes on your car and use the oem clips to mount them on.
I got the oem clips from my dad's work (autobody). they cost like 6 bucks each at the dealer and you need 16 of them, 8 on each side.
I taped together 8.5x11 inch paper; end to end. tape it on the side skirt and marked the hole. then on the other side, i put tape on the opposite end. Then i held the side skirts onto the car. used the tape i already put on the paper and press it against the car so the paper with the aligned holes would be stuck to the car. bring out a 1/16" drill bit and go down town. my holes all lined up perfectly. there's holes on the bottom side too. I didn't bother with the bottom clips/mounts. I just revit each end and the end caps.

I hope that made sense.

Paint skills y0:

Yea man, see that makes me really nervous about rust etc. But i guess i'll give it a shot.
BTW, they are OEM USDM kouki skirts. If anyone else has advice or pictures to help me out, i'd appreciate it. Thanks.

This is what I did because I hate drilling a bunch of holes that could cause rust problems, plus If I ever decided to get a body kit I'd be pissed that I drilled all those holes for nothing!

If you have the end caps and mounting clips for the ends the front mounting hole is the oem mudflap screw hole, the back just uses clips. I only had to drill three holes underneath each side of the car, one close to each end and one in the middle and I used the oem screws with lot's of locktight stuff and it helps coat the raw metal hole from rusting. For the sides take off the thin rubber strip that touches the sides and put 3m body kit black double sided tape 1/2 inch wide where the rubber strip was and as close to the top as possible, make sure to clean the area on the sideskirts and where the tape will be touching the paint with alcohol so it sticks good.

So first mount the ends then press the skirts up to the body to mark the holes underneath (sharpie) that will be drilled then take off the skirts and apply tape, keep the tape cover strip on the side that will touch the paint. After holes are drilled attatch the ends to the body but pull a little of the tape strip cover up at one of the ends, then screw it up from underneath and now all you have to do is pull the tape cover strip off as you press the skirts to the body and your done. So I only drilled a total of 6 holes from underneath the car vs 30 holes oem - 8 on each side and 7 underneath!
