Yeah man I just spent the last our on perfect run website. I wouldnt of known about them otherwise either

I made the same mistake last night, wasted a good hour just browsing.

Perfect Run is awesome. They use EMS, best postal service I have ever used. Took 3 days fro the time of ordering for my HKS cam gear to arrive. Had a problem where I forgot to change my address before I placed the order, sent them an email and they were very good to deal with, sorted everything out no fuss, no delay.

Thanks mate, just needed a bit more confidence in them before i spent a few penny's.

Now to leave this thread back to the build :yes:

Nice update!

I bet you're hanging big time to get it running.

Yes. I'm very excited as it is going to finally be put together and realizing this is a big achievement (for me anyways) Edited by Ants

Thanks guys,

Yes, I believe next week the car will go to mechanic as I have finally received this long awaited package

That bumper is actually Nismo not N1, they're the same really except N1 bumper is more expensive and is prepainted Crystal White.

Are you certain it's a nismo bar?

Because it only has nissan stickers on there...in addition to that I was not aware that you could procure a Nissan n1 front bar already painted in crystal white, because if that is the case I would probably have purchased that instead.

I always thought that the front bars came unpainted???

Yup, Nismo as in the Nismo Special edition model.

The top 4 are painted various colours with the N1 as you can see at the bottom painted in 326, then you have the normal spec unpainted bars(Early & Late) and at the bottom "ニスモ" Which is Nismo.

Hey Ants, if you find out a price on the painted version can you let me know.

I'm looking to get a Gunmetal GTR front bar for my car, so knowing a new price would help me weigh up my options.

Cheers

Sure thing guys.

Will get pricing this week.

Please note that I will be getting prices directly from Japan I.e not via a dealer in Australia so freight will be an additional cost to consider and budget for.

Horrible news.....THE GTR IS GONE :woot:

IMG_1676_zps64bef558.jpg

gone from my garage :P

Ok pricing for front bar is as follows:

N1 (painted in 326 crystal white) $893 exc. postage

Nismo (painted in KH2 gun metal grey) $893 exc. postage

Postage will be with DHL and I would estimate to be around the $150 mark but don't quote me on that yet.

All in all budget for approx $1,000 for painted front bar which in my opinion is more expensive than buying the front bar (unpainted) and then getting it painted in Australia.

There is no difference between the two apart from the N1 bar only coming in white and the Nismo bar coming in grey. N1 only comes in white because all N1's are white as they were built for race homologation in the N1 endurance series.

Anthony just wondering who do you do your parts ordering through? PM me if you'd like.

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
