Ye, Im offshore. My dad dropped it off yesterday. Brakes have been squeeling link a mother since I got it so in getting looked at. Probably just needing a bit of greasing. Private reg is getting stuck on too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbonesmcgee Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Ah...mine is needing new brakes too, I've got a warped disc on the front. The private reg was on when I saw it as was the moustache haha. What did you drive before the 370? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you drive before the 370? How'd the reg look? I had a big Jeep Compass 2.2l CRD. Slightly different to the Zed. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Reg looks awesome! If you are interested, I don't think my US size plate holder will fit the Nismo Bumper, so if you were interested it would save you the hassle of importing one, then all you need is a cut down front plate. Its the classy way to run a smaller front plate As in front bumper arrived from 2015 nismo? That will look ace! Yeah, I am getting it picked up today so I'll be measuring up various bits and bobs and then getting it off to the paint guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hoping a smaller reg hides the holes they drilled in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanman312 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 How much is the bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevykat Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Mother sent me a photo. Smaller reg maybe on the cards big change from the jeep. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbonesmcgee Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Well tomorrow night I'll be able to check if the US plate holder fits..... because this sucker arrived... It will probably suit the car better than the lounge, theres also about £70-£80 worth of extra crap you have to buy, tow eye cover, grills, finishers, fender extenders etc. But progress has been made 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) I'm not personally a fan of the later version of the Nismo bumper but I'll be very interested to see how the install goes. Look forward to reading your updates . Presumably you need to buy the LED lights too? Edited December 10, 2014 by sipar69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbonesmcgee Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 I'm actually not a huge fan of the Nismo as a car, but I think thats because it sits too high and I don't like the wheels. I think this bumper on a lowered car with the right wheels will look good, here's hoping anyway The LEDs are £600 per side. So to save myself £1200 I'm going to fab up some Porsche style ones myself. We'll see how it goes haha, I've done custom headlight work before so this should be easy enough I'm hoping to achieve the solid bar of light look, and keep it looking as classy as possible.

Turboextreme Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I haven't read through all the posts but I agree with the comments they are great pictures you have taken and I think you more than dabble in photography the angles of the images and the use of light gives it away.

oldbonesmcgee Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Right I've had a change of heart, I've ordered a set of these to see how close a fit they are, they won't fill the whole gap but I was thinking about some mesh for the leftover space.

gstraw Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 cool! i think the front Nismo bumper will look better if its not painted like the OEM one with the red accents. Think the overall shape of the front bumper looks great and it should look tidy when its all done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the red bits actually come from Nissan red but I will be wrapping them black or carbon (not a fan of fake carbon though). It should give it a more stealthy look.

JoshC Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Just wondering, do you know whether or not the side skirts from the 2015 Nismo will be a straight replacement for the one's on a 2010 GT model? Thought you'd be the best person to ask assuming you've already done some research into fitting Nismo parts to a regularone! P.s. where's the bumper update??
