Wheel well lining, Necessary? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*exitspeed* · 05-09-2005, 06:40 PM

I'm just wondering how many people have removed the fender lining in the wheel well. I noticed for some reason yesterday while I was at a autoX event at the Milwaukee Mile that alotta cars didn't have their lining on their cars. I took my driver side off when I replaced my fender and haven't put it back on yet. Is there any negative side effects to this?

Dousan_PG · 05-09-2005, 06:53 PM

no there is not. remove and never replace.

I cut mine towards the back and left the back part on. If you completely remove it sand and gravel will accumulatein the cavity behind the wheel and add weight. Plus when you open your door you will see all the debris that has accumulated.

My front fenders are rolled as well. Since I still have the rear part of my fender liner I'll never have to worry about cleaning out any debris.

nocturnaldrifter · 05-09-2005, 11:21 PM

yeah only negative is the sand, gravel rocks ect. they could also come up and dent your fender the, so you have dents going outward on your fender lol.

The Jabberwocky · 05-09-2005, 11:47 PM

im sure all that gravel in between teh fender/wheel well slows down teh car a lot....

just remove the fender lining and if your worried about gravel, leave a little bit of the lining where it attaches to the lower portion of the wheel well and fender/door

infinitexsound · 05-10-2005, 12:12 AM

yep did that today..... cut it most of the top portion off and call it a day..

Ritz S14 · 05-10-2005, 12:39 AM

I just sprayed foam.. hahah

sideview_180sx · 05-10-2005, 04:13 AM

the sand blasting I have only seen happen on s14s, I have not had fender lining for over a year now and 50K miles later, hardly anything.

*exitspeed* · 05-10-2005, 11:17 AM

Ritz S14 · 05-10-2005, 11:26 AM

You could. Would I? Eh.. it works.. maybe later.. but I doubt it.

TwoFourO · 05-10-2005, 11:31 AM

The sand flies up behind my s13's fender as well

tastyratz · 05-10-2005, 02:12 PM

run a rear partial fender lining when you roll it otherwhise your car will end up like mine was before i got it. the stock sides fill up with dirt leaves mud etc. rotted holes from the inside out and was real nasty. really bad idea not running atleast a partial...
