missing under panel

doodz · 11-05-2012, 11:25 AM

So I did my first oil change on my new to me Nismo and find that the rectangular underpanel is missing. The main shroud is there but the outer panel is missing along with the clips that hold the panel in place and the three clips underneath.

Has anyone just purchased this panel from the dealer? I know I can get the clips.

i'm sure you can, but there is a nice aftermarket aluminum one i've seen on here from one of the vendors...probablly cheaper then the stock one from Nissan. lol

Just an FYI, the rectangular panel from the dealer is $296.51. The main engine shroud is only $160.19. There are only five of the rectangular covers in the country. For that much money I'll just fabricate a new cover.

this is what ill do eventually. my half destroyed one is hanging in the garage.. :\

in the mean time you need to replace the three missing clips that hold the rest of that diffuser on. if not at above 75 mph it will flap like a mo-fo!

Where did you get that price quote from? The main engine under panel for the Nismo is over $900 dollars from the dealer. That is why when most people on here have damaged ones (like myself) we opt for the aftermarket aluminum, much cheaper under panel from Zspeed.

How did this happen?

The price changed man. As well as the part number. It's WAY cheaper than what it used to be.
