If you have ever dabbled with aftermarket bars for the V35 you will come to realise (as I did) that our cars are VERY low, and fibreglass bars break quite easily and are an endless source of frustration.

I finally bit the bullet and ordered one of these awesome copy Nismo urethane bars out of the USA. Then when I got a postage quote of $1,250 I nearly died. So I bought a few to make the postage cost effective, and subsequently have spares for sale.

They are imho superior to the factory Nismo items, as these are made of urethane (in fact they almost feel like rubber), whereas the genuine bars are fibreglass and break with a decent crunch.

The fit is near enough to perfect, and indicators fit near enough to perfect also (unlike the other fg bar I have had, the fit of which was AWFUL).

They are located in Adelaide, but I can ship if required. I would imagine shipping would be around $100-$150 within Aus depending on destination. Weight is around 10kg, but obviously cubic weight is much higher.

$1.000 each (which if you have ever imported one yourself you will realise is a great deal - and saves you the headaches importing them and the issues and costs with customs I won't go into!).

These are THE bars for V35s in my opinion, and given they are urethane and almost unbreakable, may be the last bar you ever buy for your V35.

Yeah but look at it as an investment - if you went out and bought a fibreglass bar for say $350 and had it painted $250-$300, you would break it in around a year and need a new one (like I did). Instead, buy one of these for $900, have it painted $250-$300 and it should last you for the life of the car :) ... plus the finish on them isn't bad - you could easily run around with it fitted and unpainted until you could afford to get it painted :)

Here's a pic of one trial fitted to my V35 (unpainted - and needs a bit to more work to get perfect - will be 100% perfect once painted and refit). Getting it painted shortly.

I would really love to have a nismo bumper but i have an oem front with new lip on now. Furthermore, someone donated 2 x GTR fronts to me..... so it would be a waste not to try on the spares before buying a new one. First world problems.... sigh. Btw how much is shipping to NSW anyway? Who knows -> A magical pot of gold might be at the end of some rainbow waiting for me.

Hmm sounds like a matching story. My cousin just said he had a surprise for me one day. The bumpers are sitting in storage for now until we have time for fitment. Its a little "Ricer" but i'll give it a try. How come you did not want the bumper?

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
