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

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
