I reckon the labour to fix the fitment + fix scratches/chips and paint is gonna cost the same amount as buying a new front bumper... 

also if i get an OEM front bumper i think it would fix a lot of the issues 

 

the aftermarket bumper was bought by previous owner - everything was flush before i took the front bumper off to work on the car and washers came off (i think they were used to correct the fitment but was only a bandaid fix 😭)

 

thinking between these two if i ever replace the front bumper

It will only cost a little more to fix the existing bumper than to paint a brand new bumper. And you won't have to buy a new bumper.....

yea but the issue is every time im gonna take off the bumper the fitment is not gonna be right + the material of this isnt that great since its duraflex so its gonna have more issues with cracking in the future

 

i think my current one is this one - https://www.andysautosport.com/products/extreme_dimensions__113655.html

Looks like you might have an IPL style front bar. Super hard to get and quite rare over here in aus. Itll cost you around 2.5k just to get one shipped here if you want the same style.

 

Either replace with an OEM one or take it to a body shop that can handle fibreglass and they'll fix it up to make it fit perfectly and repair/respray.

 

Probably looking at about 1k but still better than 2.5k + painting.

na looks more like this https://www.andysautosport.com/products/extreme_dimensions__113526.html

but ye ill see what the quote would be - ive got an appointment with them to get my side skirts done, tried to install new ones but the previous owner used silicone to paste the current one all around 😢 and i wouldnt have the time/tools to clear it all completely

No a sedan one will not fit coupe.

Besides the fact that they're all shit?

yes just wondering if the universal ones would fit 🤣

just need options since all the good lips are from america otherwise id have to get a custom one or just buy a cheap one off ebay thats usually like under 100 per pair for side skirts

Perhaps they fit but would they actually look worthwhile?

Honestly, what's wrong with trying to do the job properly and, as a result, once only?

yea true... just looking for options 

asked EZ Splitters for a quote on shipping so hopefully they come through this time (they ignored my dm last month 😭)

Get it all fixed by some local guys.

Looks good as is just needs to be fixed 👍

i would but im dreading the fact that it will be annoying to take it off and on - and the chances of losing the fitment (like what happened when i took it off the first time)

 

also dont know how well the flush would be since it feels like the measurements of it is shorter - since theres gaps between the fender and the bumpers itself which was filled with silicone to cover it (shown in the pics above)

 

i like the look of this better tho its not as eye soring as my current one and looks more clean 🤣

Get it fixed or try find one locally, To get a new one shipped from overseas would be really expensive. I have just tried to buy a R34 GTR bumper from Amayama and they will not ship it. They say it is an oversized item.

im already buying heaps of mods from the same store im buying from overseas so might as well chuck it in all in one order 

but yea understandable when i put the IPL bumper in the order before the shipping was 30-40% of the price but now im going stock which is x4 less than the IPL bumper 

 

i would check out the wrecking yards but i doubt theres any front bumpers intact 😐

Unfortunately I'm looking for the rear bumper, I've seen plenty front ones for sale because so many people have installed the Nismo front one but the rear is a different story. I just got to be patient.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
