@Hayd350 Yeah, I'm usually pretty early, so I manage to get on the other road further up away from the trees.

I've not heard of cars in the park, I will check it out and let you know.

Thank god i found time on Sunday to clean my motor, would have look a shambles next to yours yesterday @jamiebridge

Yours looks mean mate, a step further on than mine mod wise, it made me want the mines lip again.

I see you about quite a lot. Mine was pretty mucky yesterday. I almost parked around the corner, but spotted yours and couldn't not park opposite!

Got a quick snap.. not the best picture but I was in a rush.

SOLD

Is there anyone that is breaking a 350z and has the lower exterior window trim RH drivers side. (with the black fastening clip still intact)

Thanks in advance

What’s your best price posted to Bristol 

Had an offer of £250 collection next sat. So if that falls through, will let you know.

There is also a difference in the profile of the bumpers, and that is why you have different front wheel arch liners for the DE and HR,

However, with a bit of plastic surgery, you can get them to fit.

When doing a bit of research it looks to be only the liners that would be different. However an 06 bumper on an 04 car would still fit, but with a slight gap in the liners.

https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-and-interior/519741-will-2006-front-bumper-fit-2003-a.html

this would be a good thing with this bumper, if deano is wanting to put it on a hr, its actually better off, the 06+ liners are supposed to be a better fit with the V3 bumper as the bumper is longer.

Will this only fit pre-facelift model? 

No, it will fit both, the hr bumper is the same fitment, only the grille is different, thats why aftermarket lip fitments are different between models.

I bought this recently from another forum member, however i don't think i will get round to getting it painted and fitted, its currently just sat in the shed.

This bumper fits 90% correct, as you can see in the pictures it has a small gap near the drivers side light.

This bumper is a straight bolt on from the oem, it uses the same nuts and bolts.

It has been shaped and painted by a bodyshop in frozen white, which cost £300, most of the work with these aftermarket grp bumpers is the prep for paint.

If you require it repainting in your colour (like i was going to), it will only be a simple flat back and repaint job, around £150, all the hard work has already been done in regards to shaping and smoothing.

I have reused the previous sellers photos, hence the numberplate blanking, this is to show photos of the bumper fitted.

£250 ono

Collection preferred from Harrogate, however I will post if the buyer sorts it out at their own risk.

I am not in a rush to sell this as i do quite fancy it for mine and will only use the money to spend on other parts, so no silly offers please.

Hi mate.

the gap between is quite large. Approximately 200mm.

i just made do with the existing wheel liners with the help of some black cable ties! My car sits very low so you can't see them to be honest.

Ok brilliant, thanks for your help, 200mm is actually less than I expected and that gives me a rough guide on material lengths that I need.

Could I be a real pain and see a picture of your cable tied liners haha.

Thanks again.

When I bought my genuine V3 from Tarmac Sportz it came with an alloy extension panel which joins the undertray to the back of the splitter to make up the difference.

May be worth a call to Chris to see if these are available separately.

Thanks Andy, I have seen those are available and have contacted to see if anyone has any. However, I may just try and make one myself. Roughly do you remember how big the gap is? Is it quite sizeable?

How did you get around the arch liners not being long enough? Any workaround for this, or just have to live with the fact that they don't tuck into the bumper?

z speed undershield is adjustable to the front bumper...may help you.

I still dont think it will be long enough as z speed do an extension for the v3 as well, but seems its only available in the US.

I think i will be best mocking it up at the weekend, checking out the size of the gap to extend the oem one, try to make a cardboard template and go from there.

I'm not sure what material to use though, maybe polypropylene sheet or something?

I have just purchased a Nismo v3 rep from a member, it has already been fitted, so i know the fitment is fine. However i am aware these bumpers are longer than oem. 

What are my undertray options? Am i best off trying to extend it, or is there anything already out there to do so?

I dont want to remove the undertray fully, as i have heard horror stories of the arch liners ripping out at higher speeds.

thanks. 

I have searched forums / googled and found many different answers to this.

It would be good to get a solid set of replies, to help people searching in the future. 

What are people setting their shift lights to for optimum performance? 

DE / REVUP / HR? Does it make a difference?

Also for people who have had UPREV tunes the torque curve should be much smoother and not drop off? So im assuming as high as possible?

I know the shift light is not essential, but its a bit of fun and can help out. So please refrain from the "you shouldnt need it" comments  .

For anyone else who might find this useful, it turned out it was the wheel spacers pushing the caps out.

I have used some light adhesive to hold them in place, rotashop actually did send me a replacement at no extra charge as well, great service.

Try sitting them in a bowl of boiling water from the kettle for 5min before fitting them, depending on what plastic they are made from it might soften them a bit to make them less brittle when fitting. Make sure that where they are being fitted is spotless with no rough or corroded surfaces that could affect the fit. Worth a try

Thanks scobie, will give that a try on Saturday, i cant really think of much else i can do. I don't think removing the wheel will make any difference, but i might try anyway just to factor it out.

Has anyone else had this problem, one of mine popped off when washing the car last week, i tried to reattach it and 3 of the 6 tabs snapped clean off.

I ordered a new one and just tried to attach it.. and again one of the tabs snapped.. What am i doing wrong?! Will start to haemorrhage money soon on these at £14 for a bit of plastic.

Anyone had this experience? Should i try taking the wheel off and fitting it that way?

I'm running spacers, so that could be the problem when fitting them whilst the wheel is on the car?

While I completely understand your point and the work I've seen you do is fantastic, I would have a small issue with companies being suggested for the sole reason of being a paying member. For me, the whole point of asking on a forum would be to get as objective an opinion as possible not just a recommendation for whoever is a paying member. This is probably a discussion for another thread though...I just can't help myself...

 

I almost wrote this exact response myself a week back, but couldn't be bothered with a barrage of replies, as hide n seat seemed pretty strong on his opinion.

I feel if I had been approached by hide n seat and offered his services as an alternative, I would have looked into it, but I felt I was being shamed/bullied into it, which I don't see as an effective sales method.

What do they do exactly? ... Sorry if this is a dumb question lol

From factory nissan program only 80% throttle sensitivity. This gives 100% in all gears and is adjustable with 9 eco modes and 9 sport modes. Best mod i have done so far.

Did this today, if anyone wants some tips pm me. Much better than sticking it on the console ect.

Hi reflectors £40 posted please

I cant go any lower than £45 posted, i just price dropped them from £50

Spats sold, reflectors still available. BUMP

I have a D1 spec controller to fit on Saturday, I have seen a few people mention in threads that they had fitted it inside the ashtray.

Does anyone have any pics or tips on how to modify the ashtray to do it, before i start? I cant find any images through the search.

Thanks
