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?

    • 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
