I'm trying to buy a front N1 bumper and air ducts for my '90 bnr32. Justjap is my only option right now but they don't ship to the USA. Would anyone be able to help me out with this issue? The best scenario would be if someone that lives close to Justjap could pick it up from the shop and ship everything to me. I would be glad to pay a little fee for your time as well. I'm trying to restore this car and I have been posting the build on Instagram. My name is Gucci_Maylay (I know stupid name). I will start a build thread on here. Here are pics on my GTR and civic hatchback.

Have you tried sourcing them from your local Nissan dealership? Look on RHDJapan, Amayama.

You can simply cut your existing bumper (assuming you have a standard, good condition one) to fit the vents, so you don't have to buy a whole bumper. Note that you can get the vents in factory colours as well.

I ordered one from z1 motorsports and waited for 6 months. I have tried amayama and rhdjapan which were too expensive or on back order. Justjap has it in stock and for a good price. Nissan dealerships are worthless in USA when it comes to bnr32 skyline parts. PM me if someone can help me out. I can always return the favor with something here in the states. iPhones are much cheaper here than in other parts of the world etc...

Last time I looked at the ducts the just jap ones were fibreglass knock offs. The real ones are plastic and have clips to hold them on. If it were me i'd pay extra for the real ones (and if time=money, it would work out cheaper since i dont have to work out how to mount the JJ ones). I like RHDJapan.... but have also used greenline and nengun sucessfully.

Anyone in NSW close to Justjap can help me out? Damn America and our stupid auto laws!

Have you tried Americans living in Japan? Or checked for in Canada?

You're asking for a big favor from the Australians.

Frankly, you sound like a kid: Damn, USA dealerships won't get me my bumper and I don't wanna wait.

Move to Oz if you want JDMs and better access to Aussie goods. Solved.

Ruben, that's f**king retarded.

The guy has asked for some help. Telling him to move to Australia isn't helpful.

OP, if I could help, I would, but I'm in the wrong state.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
