Every time I pull my front bumper, I come back to this thread. Timeless.

Do not be affraid to do this for any of your installs, this tutorial is perfectly done.

Thank you for making my day easier today!

This was a good start but..

Note: if you have an Australian car with the pop-up headlight sprayers it is a little more involved. You'll need to disconnect the piping at the bottom of the bar and the piping leading to the sprayer units. This will drain the reservoir, so be prepared for water.

Additionally there are several control boxes (not sure what they are). One leads to the front badge behind the bar, and two more exist - one behind each "fang". You'll need to disconnect these too to get the bar free.

Is the process any different for the NISMO bumper? I wasn't sure if there were any other bolts or rivets not mentioned.

Expect to either break or find broken plastic rivets doing this job. I found replacements at RockAuto. They are listed under 370Z Bumper Retainer. They come in a packs of three for a couple of bucks. Get plenty. I bought three packs and have about used them all up. These plastic rivets are everywhere on the Z.

Here's a better solution

The tend to get brittle due to the heat of the engine and fall apart really easy.

Thanks for the diy!
Just used this last night during my stillen g3 intake install.

Followed the instructions and had the bumper off in ten minutes using a panel popper tool and air ratchet at my work. This job is very easy guys for those of you that are timid at working on your own car.

Is the same steps for front bumper removal for the NISMO 2016?
