this wont answer your question but it is on topic...

I have chosen with my past few cars to make my own

using off-the-shelf 4wd rubber wheel arch extensions that are meant to be mounted horizontally, i just hang them under the bumpers instead. flexable and forgiving.

this is how it mounts on 4 wheel drives

i mount it this way up

would look better with the series 1 lower half colour coded.... but you can still see the difference

same on the rear

for rubber, in SA we have Clarke Rubber who sell it off the roll by the metre. $20 per metre i think, so $40 to do the front (plus whatever you need to fix it to the car - one screw or bolt plus a large mudguard washer every 150mm or closer)

im sure any 4WD accessory shop sells it for about double the price

I've got the series 2 lip and can confirm they are different from the Coupe. I sourced mine from Yahoo auctions in Japan many years ago. They are also available from US and also japanparts.com but be prepared to pay through your nose upwards of $600 landed. If you can find a 2nd hand one from Japan it would be much cheaper.

Cool.. Thanks guys.. Think I'll stick with deep dish's $40 Clarke rubber.. Lol much cheaper and at my ride height probly more affordable to replace later when needed also...

this stuff is heavy duty. you'd sooner tear the whole bumper off before damaging the rubber.

it flexes back under the car easily, but if you get it caught when reversing you'll feel it. those concrete blocks in carparks are a pain. just remember to always reverse park if your mufflers are high enough

my front lip has dragged on various things and not even scratched. a quick squirt of silicone spray makes it shine (and possibly reduces wind friction by 0.00000000000000000000001%) baahahaha

oh and you could mount it so that it points slightly outwards, rather than directly down like mine.

and before anyone says it, yes i know this lip is not to everybodys taste. its just an option.

Just curious..ur username says 350GT8..is that the car you are referring to coz I don't think GT8s came in series 2...

yeah.. ive got a 350gt8.. im not really sure what series it is.. tried searching online.. and all i could come up with was its a 1.5 model.. lol.. its one between the cross over of series 1 and 2...

ive got series 1 interior, headlights, grille, series 2 tail lights and front and rear bars and bootlid (without doggy handle). ive had the car for almost 2 years and up til now still dont know.. previous owner said same as what i found and read online.. " its a 1.5" i dont really know..

if anyone can shed some light on this would be good... sorry way off topic though..

Anyone know if the 2007-2008 G35 Sedan OEM Factory Front Lip would fit a 2004 V35 300GT?

There's one for sale on ebay

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/INFINITI-OEM-FACTORY-ACCESSORY-FRONT-CHIN-SPOILER-LIP-G35-G37-4-DOOR-2007-2009-/261059090847?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cc855999f

Not too sure how it would look on the 300GT if it did fit though

the biggest giveaway in that pic is the headlights. Boomerang shape is V36 equivalent

im not 100% on this, but ...

2001-2005 v35 in japan = 2003-2006 g35 in US

I know for sure mine is 2001 JDM series one so i look for 2003 USDM parts to get series one, or i look for 2005 USDM parts to get series 2

if the headlights are different shape, you can be certain the parts wont fit.

edit- isnt there a topic that explains the year model jap-usa conversion in detail?

    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
