how did you guys install your nismo sides? did you have do drill into your frame for these to work? if not, can you post pics on where you screwed these in at?

 

don't have them but I am pretty sure you would need to. Don't think double sided tape or praying will help.

 

im curious as well.....i would like to see some install pics

 

I think it's just a direct replacement.

 

I have Greddy sides, not Nismo... But for what it's worth, they are a direct replacement...

 

Screws underneath, clips on body..

 

+1 it slides right out and you use stock tabs and screws.
OEM Nismo anyways don know bout them replicas if thats what you have??...
OEM Nismo sides were very easy to install took me bout 25 mins each side

 

here is the story:

I had the Nismo sides on my Z. my body guy drilled into my frame to install these. I just recently sold my Nismo sides. The guy i sold them to said the body shop he took them to won't install them because they have to be drilled into the frame for them to work. I'm wondering is there any other way to have these installed or is that the proper way. i would post pics but i'm at work right now.

 

They are a direct replacement...I installed mine myself, everything went straight into the existing holes.

 

Are these OEM or Replica sides ??? OEM like the person above me stated direct replacement

 

replicas

 

Sorry Bro I have no advice to give you on replicas... The dude who bought em tell him go to another body ship. Probably cost him more in the long run getting it to fit properly OEM BABY!!!!

 

I'll probably end up taking them back from the guy....

EDIT: but i would like to get some more insight on what others did with thier replicas. If this is how replica mount then i'm not going to take them back. If this is just a problem with my replicas then i will take them back.

 

Make a new Thead you should get your questions answered...... Good Luck

 

why make a new thread?

 

For Replica Owners to chime in. To specifically speak to these people ONLY!!!

 

Replica Nismo sideskirts will need to be drilled. I had them on my PPW last year, and they drilled it in two spots...one where the sideskirt meets the front door hinge area, and one more right where the sidestep begins to curl up (by the driver's seat). Once those were drilled in, they double sided the inside, and drilled the bottom of the sideskirts to clip them to the underbody. Two screws in the front wheel well, and two more in the rear, and they're on. It's a major PITA, but if you already bought them, that'll be how they're installed.

 

i was under the impression that they bolted in the front and rear, as well as underneath the car, and used the oem sill clips. thas how all the sideskirts i have had experience with (trial, and INGS)

 

that is how replicas mount, it is not specific to yours
