Hi guys just thought I would give you a heads up incase you damage you lower spoiler and need to get it replaced. I had my bumper scratched including the lower spoiler by a Valet car park attendant. They agreed to cover the costs, however the quote I have got to get this done is amazing:

Front Bumper: $2768 (Supply Only)

Front Bumper Lower Spoiler: $2058 (Supply only)

This is without painting. Total repair is $7440.00 with painting, fitting etc. Makes the $999 ebay one quite attractive.

The scratch is not that bad, but the car was new before they did it and as such it is going to be new after the repair.

Lesson: Treat the car with care...repairs are expensive

lol, hope you get to keep the old one too.... then you now have a "track" front end and a "road" front end. or should that be "valet" front end and "Jeff" front end....

I've scratched the bottom of my front lower (lip) spoiler, and i am sure lots more scratches to come!

Out of interest, do you have a part number for the lip spoiler and where can you get them (direct from Nissan?)

If I ever damage my Lower Spoiler, or maybe even sooner, I am bying a CF one-piece for less than half that price to match my new rear wing and bonnet scoops.

If we added up all the component replacement parts Nissan deems so precious, this car would be worth $10 Million in a knocked down form. Then you pay the dealer $200 per hour to put it all together and it will take them a year....

whose carbon goodies are those? quality ok?

Quality and fit are good. Bonnet scoops on already, rear wing will be done on Saturday.

I will post better pictures in full daylight tomorrow.

I will give everyone vendor details and prices once I know these things actually fit. I don't want to give them any more

business until these pieces are confirmed 100%.

They "cunningly" replicate everything with quite an amazing degree of accuracy and perfect finish at 1/3 -1/2 the price of Mine's, Zele etc..

I don't necessarily want all their CF gear at once, but they have Front Spoilers, Bonnets, Boot Lids, two types of rear wing (OEM type you see here and elevated Mine's-type without centre post and brake light), Front Fenders, Fender vents, Engine Covers, Radiator Covers, Side Skirts, the lot!

Carbon looks great on these cars. I just saw a huge pile of carbon bits waiting to go on a new R35 here in Adelaide.

The guy has purchased just about everything from the password JDM catalog & will look awesome when finished.

I would never let a vallet take my r35 in the first place. I don't care, Ill eitehr take my daily to a place that has vallet parking or park somewhere else, where I know its safe.

I am usualy that way, but it was a last minute business meeting at a 5 star hotel in the City. I have never had issues before, however to their credit they owned up straight away and showed me where they had damaged the car, they did not wait for me to find it.

I do have a range of cars I could have taken, however I love to drive the R35, it has become my everyday car now...

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
