Does anyone know where to get an Axis rear skirt and how much they are?

I am getting some work done on the front and while I am at it, I would like to stick one on my ARX and colour code the thing (whole car).

I have never used Import Monster or Yahoo or anything like that..... Is this the most likely source and is it difficult?

Cheers

The easiest way is to just email jesse streeter and ask him to find it for you. Great service. pm me if you need his email.

Check ebay too, theres been heaps of panels on there lately.

Here's one that needs a touch up and paint.

Oh, and here is a silver Axis front bar in case you want to match the front with the rear

Buy both, then paint what needs to be painted and you'll still be better off than buying them from Nissan.

Hell, you could probably get an exhaust with the money saved.

Awesome, thanks for that! I will look at the rear. Insurance pays for the front I hope.

So send it to Melbourne and get it couriered from there?

Otherwise if youre stuck ask Import Monster?

Hmmm, sounds like a plan.

Also I asked Jesse about combining multiple items to reduce costs but he said this isn't really an option....

You still looking at getting stuff?

Reason being is that every single item shipped via container has to be listed and accounted for.

Shipped by air does not so Jesse or IM can chuck as much stuff in the one box as possible to reduce shipping costs on small items.

At least that is what I am told

Also, Import Monster's containers come to Melbourne as well.

How did you find these? I have browsed and searched all sorts of key words and can't find these items independent of the using the links?

What am I doing wrong?

Just a heads up. For container post IM might work out a tad cheaper. They charged me $125 for container shipping for the nismo front bar. Streeter charges $250.

IM's commission is quite high though...so get a quote from both. Not sure if I was lucky or IM's containers leave more frequently, but I bought two front bars, one with Streeter and one with IM. The IM one was won on 11/08/11 and a couple of weeks later it was in a container on its way over...

The one I bought via Streeter (19/07/11) is still sitting at a yard waiting to go in a container...>_<

Not that its his fault, but if you're going container shipping it might be better with IM as they have their own containers whereas Jesse relies on others (J-Imports - Melb, JDMimport - Bris)

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
