Talking Been smiling all Day!

Hello Everyone,

I finally got myself a Z (yeah another black Z)! I have been wanting one for awhile now and thanks to this site -- I was aware of the spacers on the suspension and had to make my dealership remove it!

I'm NISMO #0325 with less than 30 miles on the odometer

I did got them to removed their annoying dealership emblem but unfortunately the dealer drill the front plate bracket on so on Monday they will make it right and fix the holes. I have always been fortunate and never have any issue with not having a front plate -- however since the Nismo Z does grab attentions....is there a properly way to install a front plate without damaging my bumper? Would the Zee-Bracket work with Nismo Front?

I will now need to invest in a camera. So for now -- please enjoy pictures from my camera phone. while I enjoy my ride LOL

Also this is my 5th manual transmission car.

Yes, I do like how the black blends in well with the Nismo kit...stealthy.

A big congratulation!
I don't know about the Z bracket, but the one Stillen makes may work. I assume there is still a tow hook receptacle and Stillen brackets come with 3-4 different size shafts that connect the bracket to it. Make sure you get the right diameter as well as the correct length.

Congratz man!

Instead of having them repaint your bumper, do what I did and go to bumperplugs.com and order the color matched caps for your car. So no issues down the line if you sell it and they asked why the bumper was repaired.

The Zee-bracket does not work. I ordered one and had to sell it because our bumpers don't have the slots for it to mount too.

Looks great. The only thing I dont like about the Nismo Z is the back end. Maybe I just need to see it in person

Oh, and thats a pretty good quality camera phone!

Wow I like this idea on the plugs since you are right about the repair issue. I will look into it.

thanks for the tip
