Do The Bumpers Come Painted From Nissan?

Hey guys,

Happy New Year.

Quick one, when you order a bumper from Nissan Japan, can you get them already painted in your correct colour from the factory?

I'm 92.5% sure the answer is yes, but just wanted to double-check as a dealer is giving me the "not my fault I ordered the wrong part number".

Cheers.

Thanks Chris,

You mean you think it comes in primer? Well the rear bumper I just got is actually painted pearl white.

When I bought my front aero bar a few years ago, in Fast there is a different part code for each colour. I ordered the part number for my car and the bar came painted from the factory correctly.

This time I left it to the dealer after a recent accident and they've ordered the part number for a white bar. Now they are telling me that is the only colour they can get, even though they didn't order the correct part number.

So before I go any further, I just want to double-check with a few others that have had accidents.

Last time when I get accident, I order a new front bumper and passanger side front quad fender. The bumper came with factory silver paint. the fender does not. No idea why. I assume the bumper is plastic so Nissan think their facotry can do painting job better?

Ok thanks Frank,

Just checked and what your saying sounds right, as there is not a separate colour code for each part for the metal fender in fast. Wheras with the bumpers there is.

Thanks for replying.

When I was looking for the plastic that surrounds the indicator/fog light, the spares department also asked for my paint code so they could order & paint it to match.

So failing all else it seems they should be able to paint it in original colour.

No problem mate.

Glad I can help.

BTW, 1 weeks after my repair job completed, My smash repair shop call me said: the demaged bumper I replaced ( Not the bad damaged, still repairable) has been stolen from shop's rubbish bin. The shop owner was very surprised that how popular this bumper is, someone even would to steal a damaged one. LOL

      Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.

      Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
