Hi guys,

i want to import a kit from the U.S, well just the rear bumper and front. Was wondering has anyone else imported from any of the vendors in the U.S, and if there was any problems . Im thinkin of getting the chargespeed rear(replica), its gonna cost bout $600 USD shipped to my door. It jus seems too good to b true as i thod it would cost much more. Im just worried bout the item being damaged in transit, especially being fibreglass.

Thanks

Steve

sounds pretty cheap... Any aftermarket bodykits you buy are a risk as far as fit and finish are concerned. If it's a knock-off of another kit, I would be doubly careful: perhaps post on www.g35driver.com and see if anyone else has used the same brand of bodykit, and what the quality was like?

Alternatively, you are aware that ChargeSpeed have a distributor in Victoria? Not too sure what the pricing is like, though....

Aternatively, you could just sell your car and buy mine: it's all genuine parts :)

As far as fitment is concerned, its bout a 95% fit. This guy is a major sponsor, so reputation means everything. Everyone always compliments the fitment of the kits especially the chargespeed rear. I was jus worried bout it being damaged in transit.

If u were selling ur charespeed rear i would buy str8 away. :) I got a quote from the distributor in Victoria and it came to bout $1400. I no thats genuine but id rather a replica if the fitment was spot on. Well iv ordered an inven front, it shud arrive any day from the U.S will post wen its here.

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
