Quick update from the weekends activity:
Finally got around to removing the rear arches, been meaning to sort that for ages now. Looks so much cleaner!!

Next up was to remove the rear badges. The sticky stuff left over once you remove the badge is awful! But got there in the end. This was done in ready-ness for the gloss black centre badges & door handles :)

And finally I found a hidden mod Sunday morning (pic below). The joyous Shipping spacers that the PDI "technician" decided to leave on the car for me. Was said previously in the thread I was lucky enough to have access to the car prior to PDI so I could have it PPF'd and tinted......so I got to see the car right off the transporter complete with all the packing and wrap from the factory. I part of this was a very large warning stuck in the inside of the windscreen telling the dealership to remove the shipping spacers. My technician, and many others it would seem, cannot read.

From a quick look I only have one per side, others have had 2 even 3. So either my guy only removed a few off my car, or didn't remove any and the others have simply snapped off during driving. I am not amused by this but from a quick search it shouldn't have had any bad effects to the cars alignment or geo. So I'll just whip them off and forgot about it. I will however tell the other 2 guys that bought Nismo's from the same dealership as me, at the same time. They will no doubt also have them.

Looking good, what was your way of taking off the little fender arches? Got idea's from others but any other helpful tips wouldn't hurt.

Hey bud, sorry only just saw your post! As luck would have it I wrote out a quick guide for a guy on another forum. quick copy and paste:

For each wheel:

• Remove the 3 screws/poppers from the larger trim in the wheel arch (keep these handy to reinstall once finished)
• Drill out the 2 rivets holding the smaller arch to the bumper. I think I used about a 3-4mm drill bit to remove the head of the rivet
• Gently pry the trim away from the bumper (it's stuck on good!!)
• Next pry away the trim from the wing (also stuck on well)
• Then spend a lot of time cleaning off all the glue and gunk that gets left behind
• Pop the screws/poppers back into the arch
• Sit back and marvel at the sleek clean lines of your lovely car :D

Been quiet here for a while as busy planning our wedding (the misses & I, not the Nismo & I), so time for a quick update.

Not a great deal has changed but managed to get a good deal on an ARK Grip exhaust. I missed it a lot after having one on my old 2009 GT. Sounds and looks great.

I also fitted some DIY side stripes. Picked up 3 colour strips from eBay and spent the afternoon creating them with a buddy of mine. Very happy with the result.

rear wiper
 

Hello Matt,
I have a 2009 and have the rear wiper installed. I'm having issues with it working. In the USA this option was not available so there is nothing anyone even Nissan said they couldn't because not a USA installed option. Would you happen to have the wiring diagram for the rear wiper. It's only one page from the WW section. I have purchased over 8 different sets of manuals on line and they all are a rip off. All they do is copy the manuals from the NICO website. Also if you do not have it can to tell the location of the two wires on the BCM in the right kick panel. Your help would be greatly appreciated sir.

Best Regards
Javier
