Hi guys, my plastic wheel well piece is ripped, and I was wondering if anyone knows how much these pieces cost, and if they are one big piece, or if they're 2 separate pieces (one for right front wheel, one for left front wheel).

Please let me know, thanks!

 

they are separated into front and rear halves, each per front wheel (so there is a front and rear half for the right front wheel and a front and rear half for the left front wheel)

they list out at $54.92 per front half, per side, at least for the 06 + ones. Not sure of the price for the rear halves, never had to replace mine yet

 

There's two pieces to each front well - front and back. They're about $50 a piece shipped from Courtesy Nissan.

Dang - one minute late...story of my life..

 

Do you guys know any solutions for fixing the ripped holes on the wheel wells where it screws into the bumper?

 

replace the panel

 

So to thread jack, but is there a solution for the rear wheel wells for being so damn loud?

 

As with any car where the rear wheels are inside the cabin with you, there's not much you can do. I removed my rear interior panels and stuck Dynamat on all the metal I could find. It did help some, but it's relatively heavy if you're concerned about that and it's a lot of work.

You can search these forums for a lot of ideas on this.

 

There are also differences in the '03-'05 and '06+ front plastic wheel
wells.

Adam - Can an '03-'05 owner replace the front portions only with '06+
plastics? (this is important to V2 owners). I've never gotten a reliable
yay or nay.

 

Correct, the 06-08 ones are slightly wider than the 03-05 ones. Some bumpers require the wider ones, others don't. But yes, provided your bumper needs the later versions (like the NISMO V2 bumper does) then you can swap them for later ones - mounting holes are in the same spot, just the outer width, where it attaches to the outer edge of the fender, differs

 

Reason I created this thread was to ask if there's a fix for my problem without having to purchase a new wheel well, and I wanted to ask the community since I'm pretty sure this has happened to dozens of people before. Possible solutions I'm thinking are to buy a plastic piece and cut it into the shape of the whole, and superglue it back to the wheel well or something like that...

If this has happened to anyone else, please tell me what your solution was.

 

Assuming it has torn in the area where the 10mm bolts go (towards the front, at the bumper area, and near the front underpanel) - if this is the case, glue will not work. The 10mm bolts are secured to the fender liner via metal clips that have a threaded section on the backside. As soon as you try to tighten the bolt into this clip, you will tear any area that you glued. Unfortunately the only solution is to just replace the liner - it's quite easy to do (just replaced mine tonight, took me about 30 mins total for both sides)

 

How do I remove the wheel well? Is it bolted on?

 

Look up the tech manual on w w w. 3 5 0 z - t e c h. c o m. It will show you everything step by step.

 

Thanks I'll check. Didnt know they had it on there.


Edit: Do you know where in the website it's located in? Been searching for it but there's so many categories, not sure which one it would fall under.

 

the wheel well is removed with a combination of plastic push clips, 10mm bolts and self tapping screws. Once you remove the wheel, and get in there with a flash light, you will see exactly where it is held on

Chose your year then click service manual.

 

Can someone confirm the newer (i.e '06+) front wheel well plastic part numbers
for driver and passenger side? I was at the dealership yesterday, and all
they had were one designation. Just want to make sure I am ordering the
correct ones... THANKS!

 

bumpppppppp
