Has anyone here removed the front and rear bumpers on the M35 models. I'm going to get the front and rear bumpers resprayed and want to make sure I don't break anything.

How about removing the interior rear door card? Need to get the body panel off under the rear lights to paint as well.

Also the side moulding on the doors, are they just taped on so there are no holes in the doors?

Thanks,

Rhys

yeah the side moulds are just double-sided taped onto the car. be VERY careful when you remove them, maybe heat them up gently before removing them, or leave the car in the sun for an hour before you do it

as for the bumpers, im not sure, but id like to know too lol

Thanks guys.

Front bumper doesn't seem to be much of a problem.

Its the rear one that interests me the most, seems a lot of the clips etc are hidden from the eye not like the front one.

Also forgot to ask about removing the rear boot interior door card, will edit my post.

Cheers :thumbsup:

rear bumper is rairly streight forward, you need to remove the rear inner pannels to get access to some bolts /screws that bolt through the inside of the rear quarter pannels down to the rear bar (these ones are fun, dont drop the bolts as you will have trouble finding them). then there are a couple of screws at the back.

On the rear tailgate there is a plastic panel under the lights and number plate that I wish to remove. Has anyone seen how this comes off? Just asking first before I 'test' how it does :) .

I pulled off the insides of the tailgate today to fit a reverse camera and if my memory serves me right there are bolts on the inside of the tailgate that hold that piece on.

To get to them do it in the following order.

1) remove bolt just behind wiper motor. There is a black square cap covering the bolt.

2) pull the black cover on the tailgate (covering the wiper motor) up. there are 4 clips holding it down that just pull out, straight up.

3) remove all the little brown, and black clips holding on the carpet cover. On all 4 sides. It should just come off now.

Cheers

Andy

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
