Atermarket help/needed info V35

Hey guys,

Does anyone know of Australia aftermarket websites in Australia that sell high quality, front bumpers, grilles, side splitters, rear roof window spoilers etc.

I have seen these products accessible over in the US. Unfortunately shipping costs are through the roof :(. 

If you guys have any websites/Stores please help! :)

 

Cheers Guys

Almost nowhere in Australia that sells anything body-kit related for the V35, sadly. And the few that do .... well ask around for the quality of their goods.

BUT, I have a brand new Nismo style Urethane (= unbreakable, unlike fibreglass) front bar for sale - $1,000 if you are interested.

I have the same problem. The best thing you can do is speak with the company regarding shipping cost. I managed to get my fender and bonnet down to $300 (instead of $700 shipping cost). Another method might help is using ebay.

Yeah, i suppose if worst comes to worst i will do the same. Its a shame the V35s dont have as much aftermarket support.

FYI to ship my Nismo style urethane bumper from the US cost $1,250! So to split the shipping cost I got them to slip 4 bars into each other in the one box for the same shipping fee. - hence why I have one left for sale (keeping one, sold 2, and one left). I did however then trigger the 'over $1k import' rule and had to pay customs clearance, duties and GST, which amounted to a lot! :(

I got one of those cheap body kits from carmate about 9 years ago now. and its still on there looking like new.

But i did have to spend alot more getting the rear bumper looking right. extra $800 untill i was happy

A group buy for items of this size doesn't work - shipping is based on cubic weight, so unless you can slip the bars inside each other in the same box (and the seller is wiling to do this) then you won't save a cent on shipping. Plus, once you exceed $1,000 of item plus postage value you get hit with customs clearance (involving a customs agent), customs duty, fees and gst on top of all that. It is a VERY expensive exercise, so have your wallet ready.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
