Hi, I am a Newbie GT-R Owner.. I have just bought a MY11 Demo from my Local Dealership. As the car was a Demo it has some superficial damage on the the underneath edge of the Front Spoiler where it was scraped over some gutters/driveways during test drives.. The Dealer is getting this repaired before i take delivery, however in checking the web, i have found that Stillen in California makes a Polyurethane Front Spoiler Skid Plate that can be attached to the underneath front lip edge of the spoiler with some double sided tape and some screws. I was thinking of fitting this after they repaired the damage..

http://www.stillen.c...0217-39030.html

It costs $240USD, however because of the bulky size of the part's packaging, it costs over $400 in Freight (Box size 173cm x 61cm x 18cm )

My question , does anyone know if this part can be purchased locally in Australia through some local distributor/shop and the local freight would be a bit more reasonable ? Has anyone fitted one of these in Australia ?

As far as know there is know one in Australia that stocks Stillen parts on the self.

If you are interested I was looking at getting a Stillen Front Spoiler in the new year, If they can put them in the same box we could share the shipping costs? Send me a PM if you want to work something out.

Guys , I have tried 4 separate emails to Stillen after my original Email prior to XMAS about bundling a shipment up for multiple members.. I havent heard anything back from Stillen despite many follow ups... I dont understand whats wrong, or whether its just they took an extended holiday over XMAS.. The last Quote i got from Kevin Romero from Stillen was $450USD Freight for a single Skid Plate was on Dec 20th 2012, I have sent him and other contacts at Stillen the request they bundle multiple Skid Plates in the same box for the $450 USD.. (Its not weight, its Volumetric Weight for Freight company that determined the price..) I have almost given up , given poor customer response they have shown after 4 weeks.... Mike..

would suggest contacting Concept Z Performance in the US, stillen are shocking for customer service. Coz (the owner) is very prompt to reply, shipping very quick & they stock r35 gear too. CZP & Z1 (also worth an email) are the top US sellers for 'Z' chassis cars, check aus300zx.com if your after feedback on either.

I have sent an email to West Covina Nissan (Nismo Shop) on ebay in regards to getting parts shipped to Australia and have received a reply advising there shipping company will not send large items to Australia. Pretty poor being they advertise they do then you look at their feed back and its not thet great so may explain a lot and would not take the risk to deal with them.

But they are not a Stillen supplier so no luck there.

yes they are, unless there's a specific part I'm missing they sell everything for the z32 & it looks like plenty for the r35...

edit: in fact this is what your after isn't it? http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=9507&Car_Type=GTR&UID=2013012823254662.157.39.105

Lidz, yeah thats for the MY08-MY10 GTR (US MY09-MY11) which is wanted by some of the group, but there is a few of us who also want the same part for MY11-MY12 (US MY12-MY13) which is different .. I notice that Concept Z didnt have the later model for sale.. I finally got a very apologetic response back directly from Stillen overnight confirming they could package 4 of these into a single box (68"x26"x7"), but they havent confirmed the freight back to me which i have asked them to confirm.

Amazing there isnt any Australian Retailer that sells it.

Wow, Last time I ordered parts from Concept Z around 9 months ago they didnt sell Stillen parts. Will have to check their web site more often.

I have just ordered one of these from D1 Perforamnce on eBay is a copy of the Stillen front lip and less then half price. Will see how it fits when it arrives.

      Thanks for the add

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      My son recently purchased a 93 Skyline GTS25 (NA), I am hoping to get some insight as to what potential this car has.  I have auto mechanical experience, and I am capable of working on this vehicle, but I know nothing about it.  Where's the best site to purchase parts (maintenance, repair, upgrades)? What kind of upgrades are available?  Thanks again and I look forward to any information that you all have to offer!   Darrick

      RB25 Oil Pump Regulator Washer???

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      This is a pump I have used in the past; no oil ever leaks or gets past the regulator plug.I was trying to understand what caused Nissan to not only mention it in their manuals but to also state it's a replacement part yet the part cannot be found on my pump or on any new pumps and there doesn't seem to have ever been a replacement part#.  First time I've noticed something strange like this from NIssan.

      yeah I have brown peeking out from in between some metal sheets close to the hood hinges. Strut towers look fine, even around the edges. some images https://imgur.com/a/brGt3Tu the one that looks the worst is the panel(s) going away right near the firewall on the passenger side, from underneath. Driver side does not look that bad.

      Might import a stagea

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I presume you are talking about a C34? Have you seen the buyers guide? https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/92065-buyers-guide-the-nissan-c34-stagea/ It's what got me to sign up to the forums when I bought mine. What kind of insight are you after? Up front I'd probably suggest to not get tempted by the poverty-spec models. I can't imagine a RB20DE to be engaging to drive in a 1600kg car.
