Axis Rear Skirt

[jidge]

Does anyone know where to get an Axis rear skirt and how much they are?

I am getting some work done on the front and while I am at it, I would like to stick one on my ARX and colour code the thing (whole car).

I have never used Import Monster or Yahoo or anything like that..... Is this the most likely source and is it difficult?

Cheers

The easiest way is to just email jesse streeter and ask him to find it for you. Great service. pm me if you need his email.

Check ebay too, theres been heaps of panels on there lately.

Here's one that needs a touch up and paint.

Oh, and here is a silver Axis front bar in case you want to match the front with the rear

Buy both, then paint what needs to be painted and you'll still be better off than buying them from Nissan.

Hell, you could probably get an exhaust with the money saved.

Awesome, thanks for that! I will look at the rear. Insurance pays for the front I hope.

[jidge]

Probably around $450 shipped by container for the rear bar.

All the extras like shipping commission insurance and the like really add up!

Plus needs some touch up and painting.

Price seems reasonable though?

[iamhe77]

Yes.

Call Nissan for a quote if you want to be sure

So I just found out that that the bar is too large to post and Jesse only does Containers to Brisbane or Melbourne... Doh!

[bigkevracer]

So send it to Melbourne and get it couriered from there?

Otherwise if youre stuck ask Import Monster?

Hmmm, sounds like a plan.

Also I asked Jesse about combining multiple items to reduce costs but he said this isn't really an option....

You still looking at getting stuff?

[bigkevracer]

Yeah but only small stuff so it doesnt matter.

[iamhe77]

Also I asked Jesse about combining multiple items to reduce costs but he said this isn't really an option....

Reason being is that every single item shipped via container has to be listed and accounted for.

Shipped by air does not so Jesse or IM can chuck as much stuff in the one box as possible to reduce shipping costs on small items.

At least that is what I am told

Also, Import Monster's containers come to Melbourne as well.

[jidge]

Yeah I would have to drive to Melbourne to pick it up. Or get a courier to send it, for which I have no idea of the cost?

How did you find these? I have browsed and searched all sorts of key words and can't find these items independent of the using the links?

What am I doing wrong?

[bigkevracer]

I usually just go to import monster and search for m35 or nm35 and wade through the results. Don't know if thats what everyone else does but seems to work for me?

[jasevr4]

yep that should work. don't bother searching for specific things in IM since it's not searching in english, only japanese.

[jidge]

Cheers guys.

Google translate from English to Japanese + cut and paste = result

Just a heads up. For container post IM might work out a tad cheaper. They charged me $125 for container shipping for the nismo front bar. Streeter charges $250.

IM's commission is quite high though...so get a quote from both. Not sure if I was lucky or IM's containers leave more frequently, but I bought two front bars, one with Streeter and one with IM. The IM one was won on 11/08/11 and a couple of weeks later it was in a container on its way over...

The one I bought via Streeter (19/07/11) is still sitting at a yard waiting to go in a container...

Not that its his fault, but if you're going container shipping it might be better with IM as they have their own containers whereas Jesse relies on others (J-Imports - Melb, JDMimport - Bris)
