Front bumper please help

[acesofspades31]

Hey guys,

 

I have a 2008 nissan skyline v36 370gt. My front bumper is damaged in a crash. The person at fault doesn't want to go through insurance due to high excess on his policy. So I got parts ordered from Nissan they were due to arrive on 06/01/2018, around Christmas got an email saying they have been delayed and now expecting them on 16/02/2018 and I just got an email from them saying its again delayed till 09/03/2018. Guys, need some help here regarding where I can find a brand new bumper and get it all fixed in the greater Perth region.

 

Thanks in advance.

Looks like you have a coupe rather than a sedan, so that makes a difference.. (My sedan was waiting 3 months for a new bumper from Japan, and the panel beater said that was very common..)

With the Coupe being sold in AUS as an Infiniti, have you contacted them as well? There might be something G37 that is suitable.

Nickcorr is spot on here. It took around four months for my front bumper to arrive. If you want it quicker, it is identical to that of the 2012 G37 but you'll need to convince your dealer to get it in for you, as they usually ask for the VIN.

Everyone gets treated as a second class citizen when it comes to imports, even when you have a friend at a dealership like I used to. Nissan Australia make it intentionally painful.

Thanks for that Nickcorr. I'm going to email infiniti today and see what they have to say.
But really disappointed with nissan on this one.
Thanks once again [emoji1]

Thanks The Max, I was thinking of just contacting infinity directly and give that a go if it doesn't work, then I will go through my dealer and see how we go with it. After reading nick and your posts, I felt a bit at ease coz I was gonna go crazy at nissan tomorrow morning. I completely agree with you on that one besides we pay top dollar to have genuine parts imported. This is the worse experience ever.
