Ok just got off the phone with Nissan and they told me that this part# is part of the diff kit and they could not just get me that. Any Venders on here able to get these?? Of course this is just the tip of the ice burg cuss I still need lower lip support from the diffuser.

Was afraid of that. Is it a hardware kit for the diffuser (sold seperate with all bolts, etc for diffuser) or this kit COMES WITH the diffuser?

Can anyone fabricate anything respectable for the OEM V3 Nismo lovers out there. I mean come on I would never beg for anyone to fab. the rear but the front is exactly what I want.
OEM fit with style and flow for a my TN turbo/oil cooler kit.
Merry Xmas

I was thinking about doing this V3 conversion a while back and did all the research. THe hardest part was dealing with the parts people at Nissan, they had no clue as to everything involved in this or anything else for that matter.
Thats why your most simple solution is to bring them a simple part(s) number, thats something they can handle easily and quickly. Dont tell them what you are doing or what car you have or nothing, just give them the part #.

that being said, the brackets are available, and are $28.00 per side
the diffuser is sold separately (as is every part of this bumper, which is why we just offer it as a full kit so there is no guesswork involved by the customer/shop) - it is $525 + shipping

well the first problem is those are not part #'s, those are just #'s to reference things in the factory service manual

NP least you posted up but many follow the same route. Of course I should propley thank you cuss more would have my kit if this was availabe and they did not have to bend over for the dealership.
Wish some one would step up though, its a small piece that would not take much time and effort for a fabricator yet it would open a huge door for this kit.

we have sold many of the full front bumper kits for the NISMO since it was released
I don't see how such a part in carbon is going to suddenly open the door to more people buying the kit - even the carbon piece is going to be close in price to the original simply by virtue of the fact that there would not be many made. Carbon parts get cheap when you make them in big quantities. If this piece was somehow an 'upgrade' for NISMO 350Z owners, that would be a different story but it's not...it would be a front section carbon underpanel that no one would see, so there will not be any significant demand in my estimation. At best I'd guess you would shave maybe (best case) $100 off the price of the full kit, and with so many other parts required to make the full bumper swap work correctly, I don't see $100 being a barrier to entry for those that want the bumper

WHen he called Nissan and spit the part numbers i listed, they obviously were able to pull up the brackets on the comp by the numbers he gave them, only then to tell him they were only available in the diffuser hardware kit. If they were able to pull such numbers on the comp, wouldnt one conclude these are the part numbers? If not, how are they to be had?
What am i missing?

So...then... how is one supposed to reference these brackets when dealing with Nissan?

On an EPC (electronic parts catalouge).. All major and sub sections will have numbers that correspond to an area.. Not so much to a particular part. For example.. Front pads on a Toyota all start with 04465.. So if u give me that number I'll know it's front brakes and I can know where to start looking. The part number will be 04465-02070.. Which is the complete part number. There are parts that will appear on the diagram that are not avaliable for individual sale.. As is the case for this poor guy. Hopefully that shed some light on how those numbers work. To add to no one knowing a damn thing about Z's in Florda.. U are 100% right my friend.
Gotcha.
