Ian Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 If you look under the back of the car you will see 2 white tabs which have poppers in them. Remove the poppers & remove the white tabs. You are now left with 2 black tabs Like this - there is 1 each side then you just fold the bumper up & have 2 options 1) get some selft tappers & screw the bumper to the support bar 2) do what I did & get 2 large enough bolts to fit in the holes left behind The hole on the left is where the original tabs are removed from, the one on the right is already free Some people have also cable tied the bumper so that it sticks up. A few guys on my350 tried my method but broke the tabs when they did it. I'm pretty sure thats right, if you can get a photo of the underside of the back cumper I can confirm from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maz77 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 What diffuser? Surly if you have a diffuser then there is no need to tuck it? custom made one. functionally its better I think. the few centimetres you get from the tuck would left your diffuser up a bit and give more ground clearance. you could also use a larger diffuser with it. just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToffeeZ Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Is yours with cable ties toffee ? If so how ? No Mate i used Self tappers drilled straight into the Rear bumper bar . Much the same as this. http://forums.nicoclub.com/350z-diy-bum ... 15681.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimm Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I will be doing hopefully my bumper tuck in the morning. Had a little look now though and it is tight doing it with the exhaust in the way(cable tie method) but I might drill it which is easier, if I reverse it the holes may not notice.
