Thanks for the great info TDogg!!! I'm currently saving up to replace the under-shroud extension and this thread made it super clear what I need! I may as well get the aluminum under-shroud while I'm at it.

Unlike all the other threads on the topic.:rolleyes:

If you wait long enough all the old questions get re-asked, followed by re-answers! Who needs a search button :icon17:

Time to get creative with CAD (cardboard aided design).

Should be able to make a template to transfer to some 1/8 aluminum sheet

This is on my to-do list once i get back from my roadtrip... assuming that my extender is still in one piece by then.

May work in AZ, but not in ME. Be lucky to see another 370Z in general on the road around here.

Quick update: Just received, bought 2 of them because they are just dirt cheap. Seller works with race teams to sell their surplus/used goodies. Shipping cost was $142 via 3 day FedEx.

If anybody needs one, seller has 2 more left.

I bought my OEM Nismo spoiler from him (he’s got another for sale plus a mk1 Nismo rear bumper) So can vouch for him

I am pleased for you, perhaps because of the return costs from Oz he sent me a very chipped one (in the UK). He claims they may have been from shipping but when I studied the pictures what I was hoping were minor marks were actually paint chips. I clearly got the one in the pictures.

So congrats on the bargain.

I returned it to him because of the repainting costs (Pearlescent White) for a refund.

I guess the undertray is not painted but be wary of "new and unused" parts from him it clearly doesn't mean they are undamaged. They have just never been sold.

Fair enough. Mine too had a very small paint chip but it’s so small it didn’t bother me plus I may get the blade part of the spoiler wrapped in gloss black at some point. Nismo spoilers cost over 2k here in Oz so paying less than $500 inc shipping was a bargain . Sorry you were not happy with yours. Here’s mine

Glad they arrived swiftly and in one piece

Not to defend the seller. I exchanged many messages with him and got an understanding of his operation. Some or all items listed aren't physically with him. He is like the middle man that arrange the sale between buyer and the race teams. The items may come directly from the location of the race teams (true in my case, even delayed the shipping by like a week because the race team was @ an endurance race or something).

Thank you. Also thanks for offering help on logistics. I got very lucky with this deal. Somehow, this item didn't show up even if I expanded the Ebay search to "worldwide". I've been looking for a reasonably priced OEM piece for a long time now. I flat out refuse to pay the ridiculous price in United States.

To those who have done the conversion, is this all that's needed to swap a Nismo V1 front bumper from a Base/Touring/Touring Sport:

Front Bumper
Undershroud (OEM or Z-Speed)
Driver Fender Liner
Passenger Fender Liner
Lower Cover Extension Piece & Fastening Clips
Nissan Emblem

Trying to get an idea if its cheaper if I price out each of these parts myself, or buy the conversion kit from Z1 for $2500. Not really looking forward to spending that much, plus paint.

I assume you mean switching non Nismo bumper for a Nismo bumper, not the opposite way you have it in your post.
