Atermarket help/needed info V35

Hey guys,

Does anyone know of Australia aftermarket websites in Australia that sell high quality, front bumpers, grilles, side splitters, rear roof window spoilers etc.

I have seen these products accessible over in the US. Unfortunately shipping costs are through the roof :(. 

If you guys have any websites/Stores please help!

 

Cheers Guys

Almost nowhere in Australia that sells anything body-kit related for the V35, sadly. And the few that do .... well ask around for the quality of their goods.

BUT, I have a brand new Nismo style Urethane (= unbreakable, unlike fibreglass) front bar for sale - $1,000 if you are interested.

I have the same problem. The best thing you can do is speak with the company regarding shipping cost. I managed to get my fender and bonnet down to $300 (instead of $700 shipping cost). Another method might help is using ebay.

Yeah, i suppose if worst comes to worst i will do the same. Its a shame the V35s dont have as much aftermarket support.

FYI to ship my Nismo style urethane bumper from the US cost $1,250! So to split the shipping cost I got them to slip 4 bars into each other in the one box for the same shipping fee. - hence why I have one left for sale (keeping one, sold 2, and one left). I did however then trigger the 'over $1k import' rule and had to pay customs clearance, duties and GST, which amounted to a lot!

Ive seen heaps on ebay australia.........http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_odkw=v35+skyline&LH_PrefLoc=1&_osacat=6030&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xv35+skyline+body+kit.TRS0&_nkw=v35+skyline+body+kit&_sacat=6030

Yep, VERY cheap fibreglass kits that take exactly one bottom out/spoon drain to crack and smash them. Buyer beware.

I got one of those cheap body kits from carmate about 9 years ago now. and its still on there looking like new.

But i did have to spend alot more getting the rear bumper looking right. extra $800 untill i was happy

Thinking of doing a group buy for the kuruma z bumper if you're interested.

Yeah dude. Message me.

A group buy for items of this size doesn't work - shipping is based on cubic weight, so unless you can slip the bars inside each other in the same box (and the seller is wiling to do this) then you won't save a cent on shipping. Plus, once you exceed $1,000 of item plus postage value you get hit with customs clearance (involving a customs agent), customs duty, fees and gst on top of all that. It is a VERY expensive exercise, so have your wallet ready.
