    Front number plate holder

    in Styling

    Posted

    No need to remove the bumper. If you take the number plate off you'll see 2 bolts holding the black plastic holder onto the car. So easy enough to remove.

    Can't comment on making it shorter though, I used a USA spec front holder which is (from memory) around 12 inches.

    So tempted with this, but I do have a Atari 7800, Master System, Megadrive, PS2, Wii and Xbox one at home and don’t play them. Does your Pi have the neo geo emulator? 

    It's the owning that's it's important, can't remember the last time I used my Xbox for something other than Netflix :lol: 

     

    Ive not seen neo Geo on the list, but the OS only displays options based on the Roms you  have installed (don't think I have any). from some quick Googling , retropie does appear to support neo geo

    Can't decide! Opinions Please?

    Sounds like you've already decided (correctly BTW). I'd agree with the above that the lines of the duckbill suit the styling on your car far better. I think smoothing it in would look excellent, and possibly settle your mind looking for alternatives. If the finish is not good it will bug you every time you look at it.

     

    Car's still looking bad ass dude :D

    allowed my tips to extend beyond the bumper and show off the burnt tips with the ARK logo

    Yup, looks far far better like that :) 

    It was my only gripe with the system when on the Nismo, as the bumper hides the loveliness of the exhaust :lol:

    Looking at the reply from ARk, via Adrian above, I can somewhat agree with their statement about the rear brace bars. I purchased a used Ark exhaust from a chap who had it fitted to a GT model....and I was fitting it to my Nismo. When it was all fitted up correctly the rear pipes were close to some of the rear bracing bars on the Nismo, but they did not touch once the system was all tightened up. Perhaps they are just saying this to add some protection should any rubbing occur?

     

    I ran it on my car for over 1 year with no issues. The only comment I would make with fitting it to a Nismo Vs a GT is that the tail pipes do not sit flush with the bumper. They sit a little more underneath the car, which I can only assume is due to the Nismo rear bumper being bigger/deeper? But never bothered me.

     

    In terms of the tailpipes not being lined up, or interfering with the diff on the Nismo - this is due to the mid pipes being fitted on the wrong side. Keyser and I fitted the Ark grip to my Nismo and on first fitment my car looked exactly like the photos from Payco. After some head scratching we swapped the 2 pipes over, tightened up the system, and boom! Perfect fitment (with the exception of the tail pipes sitting a little under the bumper as mentioned).

    Don't post here must these days, but enjoying this thread. Makes me want to get a project to tinker with since the Z has been replaced by a German barge, but I lack space, funds and knowledge :lol:

    Maybe in a few years that will change but for now I'll just keep reading :)
