Front License frame

Crazy4Z · 07-29-2011, 12:12 AM

I need mine installed on my Nismo. Do dealerships offer free installation on this? Mine came with the car but wasnt installed.

Why drill holes. Go on Stillens website and order the bracket that screws into the tow hook area in the front.

I THOUGHT I read somewhere that you can't use the Stillen tow hook thing with Nismos...I could be wrong though.

red6spd · 07-29-2011, 08:27 AM

LOL, I totally looked past the fact you had a Nismo. You are right, but I think there is a DIY thread on this forum on hoy to make it work.

Hmm sounds interesting. tI already have a frame i wouldnt want to buy another one.

Just saw some pics for the stillen on the Nismo. It doesnt look right. plus its cover airway. I rather drill and center it in the middle.

The dealer will put it on if it's required by the state. The procedure is in the back of the owners manual. To have the stillen mount work you will need a threaded extension bar. I wrestled with this all when I took delivery of my car. But sadly it had been mounted before the selling dealer took delivery.

there are other brands that work on the Nismo. There is one from Maoweraxle.com

Buy the Stillen and have someone cut the pipe and insert/weld about 10" of same size pipe. Works fine.

Is the tow hook receptacle metric? IIRC the attaching hardware for my Stillen bracket required metric hex wrenches. If threading such a pipe is required, it might have to be threaded for metric.

Well I got mine done at the dealership. Got it drilled they did a pretty good job. To have it on the side for me was not going to work out. I didnt have it on my 2 evos in the past I will not have a side plate on the Z.
