Ian Posted June 15, 2009 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

I am thinking in the context of my K1 and possibly a rear diffuser Quote
Ian Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 What diffuser? Surly if you have a diffuser then there is no need to tuck it? Quote

maz77 Posted June 15, 2009 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

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 Im going to attempt this the cable tie way.... Quick question.... Where exactly do I cable tie the plastic bumper to ? Excuse my ignorance Quote
shieldsie Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 How do you get the centre so high with cable ties? Quote
ToffeeZ Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 I did mine a couple of weeks ago . It took me about 15 mins to do Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 Is yours with cable ties toffee ? If so how ? Quote
mattbowey Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 this is mine with k1, needs sorting as it sags a bit in the middle and it doesnt look as good as if there was a big shiny box but i quite like it... Quote
buster Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 mine with the scorpion rear box......opted for the zip tie route as well add one to the middle as well. Quote
ToffeeZ Posted June 2, 2010 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
Pimm Posted August 5, 2010 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. Finger crossed Quote
