DIY - 2002 Infiniti I30 Left & Right Engine Splash Shields

This is a simple DIY I only had to do the driver side but I bought both sides - This is for a 2000 Infiniti I30 and this is very important to have cause your A/C unit and other parts will not get wet as you hit puddles and the water would splash on the parts then in the future rusting them sooner and soaking the belts making them squeal in the rain .

Yes they can be a pain in the ass to take on a off for oil change but if you can see you can slightly pull away from the oil filter and then remove it . 

There are other splash guards underneath this vehicle make sure you order the correct one this one is for the sides behind the wheel covering axle sides .

Basically it is a bunch of clips that hold the parts - You can use clips or bolts which ever fits you .

DIY - Plastic Welder Repair on a Headlight

 This is a basic DIY using Plastic Welder to repair and mold a plastic part on my headlight . This can be used on other plastic parts that need repair .

There are two types of plastic welder but I bought this one cause it is super high pressure .

 

I removed my headlight and as you can see in the other photos the piece that is broken . This is the stud that holds the headlight to the fender . With out this the headlight will be hard to align the beam straight .

 

Remove this center piece cause this is your mixing stick .

 

 

Then you snap the bottom cause that is your lid to keep the glue from drying .

 

 

I wore plastic gloves then I mixed the glue as the directions said then I rolled the broken piece in the glue . Now this doesn't dry quick but don't let it sit cause it will dry .

 

 

 

This is the first coat . You let sit dry for about 30 minutes then if you wish you can keep on applying .

 

 

I used the whole tube in 3 separate applies . The good thing with this you can sand paper this if you desire but in my case I didn't have to .

 

 

 

 

 

I let it set over night to better dry then I put my headlight back on . I was able to hand tight down the nut and it kept from breaking . This held up real good .

 

I have been told you can use this to glue stuff together as long as it is plastic to plastic .
