As the title says im wanting to install my jap spec lights from my old zed but unsure if i need a sealant or if its okay to not use anything and just bolt them straight in? also if it does what kind to use?
Nissan sells part number 26550Z - 300ZX SEALER-REAR COMBINATION LAMP About 1 1/2 rolls should do the trick, can get it from nissan or courtesy parts online Others have had luck with sika-type sealants that do not set, but remain sticky. You need this stuff otherwise water can get into the boot compartment
like Mitch says... nissan do the rolls. I use a butyl sealant that comes in rolls as well, like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/68-79-Nova-Butyl-Windshield-Installation-Seal-/290384390101?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item439c4227d5 cheaper than nissan but I'm but sure you can get it in Oz. you might be able to get some from a windscreen fitters. you could use this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-FALCON-XW-XY-GS-GT-WINDSCREEN-SEALANT-500G-TUBE-XA-XB-XC-XR-XT-/330789776363?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d049b6beb
Ok so its looking like i need to use sealant, just hoping i dont make a mess of things with it Badxtc have you had any water leakage or problems since you didn't use them? Thanks for the help guys!!!
Like some others - I used a sikaflex permanent bead around the lights and let it dry first, then used a non permanent sealant at the back. It tends to be waterproof and you can remove and replace it without worrying about using any type of sealant again. Probably a bit overboard on average, but a job worth doing is worth doing properly, especially if you intend to remove it later, theres a few around that have done it this way. If you dont use sealant of any kind - washing your car can be a problem but badxtc reckons he has never gotten water in it. Maybe he doesnt wash his car up close with a guerney - lol
If the stock sealant is good just use what's there...was the first thing I modified on my Z never had a leak!
Yeah this is what I did. I never had any problems. There is no need to take of what's all ready there.
Pppffff. Washing cars. Dean does that for me. Washing cars is for bitchs . I let teky wash it for ne sometimes.
Oh, just that those recaros give people an inflated sense of self worth. Why, Dean? I'm not just being jealous...that's for sure.
