roast350z Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Just had a phone call from the bodyshop where my nismo bumper is beeing fitted, he said there is a problem with the washer jet bracket? So i went down there and sure enough the bracket on the bumper is in the complete wrong place!!!! THought this was strange coz it is a propper Nismo one! Anybody have this problem and know an easy way to get round it apart from costom making a mounting bracket??????? Quote
Lexx Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Take it off and dont have the headlight washers??? Thats what I did with my Amuse Quote
roast350z Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Would do but its all been sprayed up and would look strange with big holes in the bumper, plus i rather make up a custom mounting bracket just wonederd if anybody else had this problem?? Quote
N1SM0350z Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Surely they have to be in the same place or else they wont wash the lights?? Quote
Adam@Z1auto.com Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 the shop didn't test fit the bumper before spraying it? A bit of an odd practice - I'd make it their problem to solve then, not yours Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 the shop didn't test fit the bumper before spraying it? A bit of an odd practice - I'd make it their problem to solve then, not yours I have to agree with Adam, normal practice is to test fit all items before they even think about painting… Where did you get the bumper from?

roast350z Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Bought the bumper from another memeber on the forum and its being fitted by a friend of the family who is a very good at bodywork and spraying had most of cars worked on by him, but theres no faults in the fitting of the bumper that fits fine just that when he went to mount the washer jets onto the rear of the bumper the holes were in a different place?? maybe it was changed on the my07??not sure but he is now made up some alloy mounting brackets. I should of taken some pictures to so you what i mean, Dont spose anybody has a picture of the inside of a v1 nismo bumper just so i can see if im missing something?? Quote

May sound silly, but are you sure the holes are for the washer jets and not left/right camera fitments? I have the V1 NISMO bumper with the optional camera holes which were a factory option in Japan, will find a pic and post up so you can compare Quote
roast350z Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Wow never seen that before! but no its not like that, the holes for the washer jets to poke through are in the correct place just that the place where it mounts to the bumper on the rear were different, anyway its all back now he dropped off the car this morning looking Quote
