So I'm at home after picking up some extra parts for the NISMO (rear NISMO licence plate holder, cargo net (the only reason I was able to spend the rest was because of this cos my wife likes them ) and a Carbon fiber NISMO gear shift.

I fitted the gear shift myself, and was about to back it out and test it.

I can't have closed the rear hatch properly, and it opened as I was getting out of the garage... long story short - it almost tore the spoiler off

I felt

I took it into the garage and they are able to get a replacement, but Autech clearly haven't imported any yet, it's going to take a month to get here

It looks very weird at the moment, as no rear spoiler, I've got black masking tape over the holes so it's a bit poo.

The good thing is that it'll be replaced with a stock part, and will fit real neatly over the gaps - so it won't look crap going forward.

I would state though that people should check their rear hatches, they seem a LOT stiffer then my 2004 Z and more "powerful" about pushing it up in the air - maybe because of the weight of the spoiler?

Just a heads up as it seemed to be an issue - although I'm FULLY aware that it's my fault over all.

 

yea post some pics

 

awww that do suck. so if i see a Nismo Z around town without a spoiler...I know its you. So how much did it cost for another spoiler and did you have to prove that you do own a Nismo Edition Z?

I do notice that the hatch dampers are powerful. I do believe it is to accommodate the weight of that huge spoiler. I have a hard time closing the hatch with one hand (finger prints all over).

 

That's too bad and thanks for the head's up. Better days in your Nismo ahead.

 

Sorry to hear about your mishap,at least we know now that there won't be thousands of NISMO knockoffs driving around in the next 6 months.

 

That really sucks!

BTW

 

ohh man that would make me want to be sick for sure. Sorry to hear about that.

 

Hi guys,

Thanks for the messages, I have to say that I was afraid I might get a bit toasty, and am glad I haven't as honestly I feel like crap for it enough.

I'll take some pics later and post them (so you can revel in my mishap )

The total cost was about $1500 as I damaged the hatch too... shows you just how much this kit cost though.

 

so how much was the actual spoiler ?? that def sux man im actually waiting for the front bumper to come out.i wa on a high way and racoon ran out in front of my carand messed up the courner of the bumper its not too bad but still sux well good luck with the new spoiler.

 

Not sure actually.

I am planning on getting a detailed invoice once they repair it, so i'll let you all know.
