Default What am I missing? Bumper install

So if some of you know I picked up a Z with its front end smashed. I picked up the plastic push pins.. And a new rad support. But the bumper clips wont go into the rad support holes... What do I need to clip in the front bumper? My buddy has a '12 370 and it looks like just the clips and bumper.

What am I missing? It looks like the pins should hold it in place but the bumper just pulls they right off/out as soon as I let go and 2 holes are WAY huge.. Is there like another part(s) I need?

Make sure you have the right size push pins. First pull the center of the pin up about a quarter inch. Push it in place and then push the center back down.

Nissan uses 3 different sized push pins. Make sure you've got the right ones.

Anyone got a part number? I feel like I picked up the wrong ones and the service manuals and diagrams don't help much.

Its just number 2.

Take a pic of the clips and the holes. A visual might help us.

Ahhh yup. The 2 most center hole wedges (left and right of hood latch) on the core support is what Im missing.






Thanks a bunch guys. Figured that would be a part of the core support. Or at least come with the dam thing.. Idk why its 2 massive holes.
