Silverthorn Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Morning Gents, Just a quick one. Does anyone know the best place to source a MK1 Nismo Front Bumper & Sideskirts for the 370z in the UK? I've been hunting around online and it seems that absolutely no one stocks them with the exception of Z1 in the states. I'd even be tempted by fibreglass versions if they were easy enough to source but even that is seemingly difficult as the only place that makes them is based overseas and by the time I factor in shipping fees and import tax it's a seriously expensive ordeal. Any help with this would be appreciated. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy1980 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Might be worth giving Torqen a shout, they do a full 15+ conversion kit. They may be able to source a V1 ? Or at least assist in getting one over from Z1 in the US as part of another shipment ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Muxlow Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Have you tried Nissan directly? They may be able to get you them?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect the price will make you vomit, if the rear wing price is anything to go on, i think 7 k may be more Edited December 17, 2021 by ShortPaul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverthorn Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 Cheers for the suggestions guys. I've spoken to my local Nissan garage and they're unable to source one unfortunately. Similarly I spoke to Tarmac the other day and they're no longer able to supply them so that listing will be getting removed from their site! I'm honestly not sure where Z1 source them from as even Nissan themselves have told me they're no longer in manufacture! Worst case I'll import them through Z1, but after import tax and shipping I'll be dangerously close to £2k for the Bumper and Sideskirts 😩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortPaul Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Are you going for front and rear bumpers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 @Coz@TORQEN please look into this, surely we can still get these 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to get my hands on a MK1 Nismo Front Bumper and Sideskirts as long as they're not crazy expensive! I've still got to sell one of my sets of wheels to fund the parts yet but it'd be good to have a rough idea of costs in my head first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coz@TORQEN Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Guys in Japan replied: "This part number is only for export and unavailable to order here in Japan" I've asked the guys in the USA to see if they can still get their hands on one, if so, we can bulk it up with our regular sea shipments so shipping isn't extortionate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got 3 front bumpers en route to our US warehouse, Nissan delivering between Xmas and New Year. They'll come by sea once the rest of the stuff is ready from Fly1, so let's say UK arrival in February. Will that work for you? Do you want the rear as well? Anything else, skirts etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverthorn Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 @Adrian@TORQEN Ah that's great news. February should give me enough time to get my current mk2 nismo bumper sold so that works out perfectly. Ideally I'd like a set of mk1 Nismo sideskirts too. I'll be keeping my MK2 nismo rear. Cheers!

Adrian@TORQEN Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 1 set of Nismo MK1 side skirts ordered as well, they'll be coming on the same shipment.

Hi @Silverthorn, All arrived, ready to ship. Let us know once the order was placed and will get these out for you for next day delivery, unless you want to collect. Photos below. Links are above, still valid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Hi @Silverthorn, Can you please get in touch if you still want your bumper and skirts. Thanks, Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
