Question about Nismo Front Fascia

Nargrakhan

I've seen the Powerhouse Amuse bodykit, but I've always wondered something about it... Photos I've seen, seem to indicate it's lower than the NISMO's. Maybe that's because the car photo's I've seen, are also lowered vehicles.

Just out of curiosity: if the Z isn't lowered, how low is the lowest part of that body kit from the ground?

As far as I'm concern, the front is the part that you should be concerned most about height wise. The front end is the area that gets abused the most from bums and dips in the road, driveway, ramps and so on.

Anyhoo, for your amusement and to fill your curiosity, I just went out and crawled around in my driveways trying my best to take come measurement/pictures for you. It was hard to take a level shot to get an accurate picture of the measurement but you get the idea. It's hard doing it alone.

I've found the biggest source of scraping isn't necessarily the height of the front end, but the length of the front end. It is long and it is flat.

If you look at other cars; i.e. a Porsche, they actually taper up a bit from the wheel well forward.

With the regular front bumper, I could pull out of my very steep driveway; no such luck with the Nismo bumper. I still scrape a bit when I back out at a severe angle.

Yes,the front end is long. The end does taper a little as you can see in the pics. I take it slow up and down my driveway. My driveway isn't even steep. Our driveway are those tapered semi rounded ones so there it's the same curve from driveways to grass area that divide our houses. I cut on the grass and take a big and wide angle out. Spare the front end from gouges, the grass can die as sacrifice!
