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.

Nice. It looks like a great fit - but now I just want your lights... :wub:

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.

Hey Superdry, did u and your cousin / brother buy the gt Wing carbon + set of wheels and tires from me ? I think Im the one who donated the GTR front. did u figure out to make some use of them. pardon me if im wrong :D

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?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
