most likely. every single nismo replica for the 350z, all three versions by all companies (V1, V2, V3) didnt not account for the different undertrays. They simply copied nismo bumpers as is and therefore needed nismo undertrays. If one or two companies actually worked around this, im not aware of it, but i had quite a few nismo bumpers, two versions, on multiple 350zs. just my experience

I talked to a guy at godspeed today. They said it shouldnt be any different for the undertray or fenders but if it is, it requires very little modification. I'm putting a $400 deposit on a kit next week and then paying it off when i get home from my deployment in 3 weeks.

any word on part numbers for the 370z nismo interior parts?

Nice, post up some pics when your finished with the install :tup:

I'm making the down payment now but i dont know when ill be able to pay it off in full, i still need to order spark plugs and the rest of the nitrous parts. Also spring is coming soon and i have to finish the work on my ZX6R and get that tuned. Good news is i can get my whole care re-painted for $1500 at the shop on the base. Trying to decide if i should keep it the grey color or go black.

I wouldnt do black..well not Nissan's black. Scratches appear out of nowhere and really stand out :( Getting mine painted QAB Pearl white next month ;)

If he gets a re-paint the paint should be harder than Nissan's paint. Heck, you could get better paint letting your 4 year old use a rattle can.

Im not quite sure about that one... haha But yes, the paint should be better. I could actually dig my nail into the 350's white paint..thats sad. So horribly sad

Well i paid the 400 today, it will either be March 15th or 31st when i pay the rest and it ships. I'm going to be painted it to match the black that will be on my ZX6R once i replace the fairings.

if you guys are getting your whole car repainted, why do it something OEM?

If you read my post above yours i never said i was getting a OEM color, i said i was matching it with the color my ZX6R will be when i replace my broken fairings.

Here some options, I kind of like the orange, like the old Datsun 240's, maybe someday. Although every car I have ever owned has been black or dark gray LOL got to match my wardrobe, no color.

Monterey Meat Co! Yay!

Doesnt sound like the guy at Godspeed has read this thread:tiphat:. There is certainly a difference in the non-nismo and nismo in terms of fitment and parts needed. Since Godspeed is offering a credit for installed pictures they obviously have never fit this kit to a non-nismo. They probably just copied the Nismo panels and called it a day. Refer back in this thread to posts by Greed, HuslterX5, and Chuck05 and they all confirm the fender liners (part#H5064-1A47A + H5065-1A47A) and lower diffuser (part#F2026-1A47A) are a must for proper OEM-like fitment of the Nismo fascia. If you can live without the fender liners and the gap OK, but our factory plastic undertray (the thing removed when doing oil changes) can only bolt the the Nismo bumper if you get the lower diffuser.

Now the rear bumper is a different story...dont think anyone has made the conversion yet.

exactly my point. so really it sounds like this godspeed kit isnt going to cut any corners or save any money in terms of buying the required stuff to do this correctly. maybe even cost more in the end

well im willing to take one for the team. My girlfriend messed my driver side fender liner up so i dont care really about the stuff under the. As long as the fascia is secured and wont flop around, im happy. I'm on a military op right now so i cant look at my car, could someone either find me a picture or take a picture of the under cover of the rear bumper for me please.

what an aftermarket company should do is make a CF replica of the OEM Nismo diffuser-->labeled in red in attached pic. Its a simple piece to copy. It cost more than the damn fascia itself at $500+ from Nissan. A CF replica could be made for $250? That way we could use the OEM Nismo fascia (cheap, poly, and perfect fitment obviously) with the CF replica diffuser. That would solve the main fitment issue of the undertray. The only other fitment issue would be the fender well liners which are relatively cheap or can be left off totally. You could also sell the CF diffuser to Nismo owners that just want a sublte CF lip on the bottom of their Nismo bumpers...2 birds with one stone.

got a better picture? i can see what i can do in seeing how feasible this would be. how much of this undertray shows on the bumper to market to the current nismo crowd?

Maybe someone with a Nismo or with the Nismo bumper conversion can take an actual pic and post. If the OEM diffuser doesnt stick out that much from the Nismo bumper maybe the replica could be made to stick out slightly, kind of like a CF splitter/lip? Just throwing out ideas as it looks like a simple peice to copy.

yeah id be curious because if it added something aftermarket to the current nismo owners it would have dual market viability, and i would be more likely to get it produced if interest was there. to be profitable it would have to be compatiable with the Godspeed kit too, but if thats an exact copy, then it should with no worries

More shots of my hybrid "Nismo." I hope these are clearer than the last bunch. I added the S-tune spoiler since my last post. Also, I'm happy to report I have had zero issues with the Nismo front bumper install.

That is one interesting hybrid Nismo :tup:

I noticed they painted the inner portion of the "mouth" of the Nismo bumper, when it comes stock blacked out. Ie, you aren't supposed to be able to see anything behind the grill.

mine:

If you don't mind me asking Greed, how much did you get the nismo bumper for? Also, I'm guessing it doesn't come painted?

Equinox >>> on the bottom leading edge of the fascia there is that black plastic piece that bolts to the bottom of the lip. Just by eyeballing it do you think it could be replicated in CF and made to stick out or protrude a bit to create a splitter type look but still fit like factory otherwise?

Here's taken from another thread...

I still dig the Nismo spoiler more, but the stock one doesn't look so bad either.....so maybe I will get the rear bumper first before the spoiler after all....

Z1 now has the rear bumper in stock (unpainted) for all those who want that piece.
Front bumper is going to be the hard piece to get as it requires the brackets & extra pieces.

Thanks, Cobra. I appreciate it. I took a big chance on this mod but I think it worked out pretty well.

The front bumper cost me about 350.00 from my local dealer and yeah, it comes unpainted (primer only). West Covina Nissan in California might have an even better price on it though if you want to google them, and, if you don't mind having it shipped to you. I tried to buy from them at first but we ran into a shipping problem. You'll also need to buy the front bumper diffuser, and that could run to close to $625.00

You're right -- I never noticed that. I think it looks good either way though. On yours, I see your tow hook is painted black. Looks much less obtrusive that way. Did you paint it yourself, or did you have the foresight to ask to the body shop to do it?

Edit: Nevermind :-) I think you have an actual Nismo there.

Thanks for the follow up. I'm guessing the diffuser is the plastic undertray? Also, how was the install, was it as simple as just bolting it on?

Looks very good btw.....

Thanks!

The diffuser is actually constructed out of rubber. It attaches to the underside of the bumper and extends back to the engine's plastic undertray, where it is also attached.

The install is very simple if you have all the parts. In addition to the bumper itself, the diffuser is essential -- you simply gotta have it. You'll also need fender liners (or protectors). I don't really know what Nissan calls them but this diagram shows you the pieces I'm referring to. Those two parts the lines I drew are pointing to are the "fender liners." Without them, you'll have an ugly gap in your wheel well b/c the Nismo front bumper is wider than stock.

Now, back when my install was done, the fender liners, which cost about 120.00 per set (about 240.00 to cover both sides) were not available in the USA so I would have to order them direct from Japan, which could mean unpredictably lengthy delivery times. So I opted to have the body shop fabricate some pieces to do the same job. This turned out great, so I probably saved a little money on that.

Otherwise, no problems. The Nismo is a 370Z, just like yours. The Nismo parts fit the stock car just fine. You don't need any extra hardware really.

Hope that answered your question.

Greed do you have a part number on the front diffuser and other parts required for the install? My dealership said they can order anything for me really cheap...if they can find it. I tried to get them to look it up but they couldnt find anything, they said they need a part number.

Also to anyone that is interested in the kit front Godspeed. There is a few kits he got in 2 weeks ago. One is set aside for me, just going to be some time before i can pay the rest off, got to finish work to my ZX6R so i can get that inspected and on the road. I talked to Ken and he is going to email me pictures of the actual kit tomorrow.

Front bumper - FBM23-1A47H
Front bumper diffuser - F2026-1A47A
Fender Liners (left and right fenders) - H5064-1A47A / H5065-1A47A
Note: Nissan calls the fender liners "protectors."
Rivets - U0RVT-1A007 (Your dealer should already have these in stock. Every Nissan car uses them)

thanks greed. I went to the dealership today to pick something up, wish i would have cheked the forums first to see if u replied..lol.

Looks awesome Greed! My only concern would be the paint job on the bumper not matching the rest of the car. (For some reason getting something painted outside the factory always worries me when it comes to matching the factory job).

Thanks, Red. And you're right to be concerned about that. I'll be the first to admit that mine doesn't match up exactly. I think it's about a grade off. It's only noticeable under certain light though. I've seen showroom cars that match up worse. I was gonna ask the body shop to respray it, then I figured it would be best to leave well enough alone.

Well it does make it look more like a 240Z!

Fender Liners (left and right fenders) - H5064-1A47A / H5065-1A47A

==> These parts are for the rear fender protector..
I want to know the part number for the front fender protector.

anyone here done either the Nismo Rear conversion or the Rear Spoiler modification yet? I wanna see some installation pics or part numbers....I'm planning on changing my 370z to the Nismo body kit slowly piece by piece, but I hope by then somebody else have done it and I don't become the first one.

Can anyone confirm that the Spoiler price? last time I put a spreadsheet together, it was ~$3000 (un-painted). Freaking ridiculously expensive.

I plan to mod my rear bumper first to Nismo. Any good replica companies out there yet that makes the Nismo body kit (not S-Tune)?
