Default nismo bumper tuck?

I seen the bumper tuck on one of the nismos with the hks setup in the nismo exhaust thread looked in the bumper tuck section thread no luck.. Anyone know how to do this? Im thinking it should be the same concept as the regular bumper tuck on a non nismo z. If anyone can shed some light it be greatly appreciated.

Don't know how that would be achieved?

Only unless that owner removed the rear diffuser to allow more of the exhaust to be seen....other than that you may be imagining things or thinking of the exotic speed exhaust which looks to hang lower on our rear....



All I got

Make a DIY!

I need to do mine since the JIC 3in Ti sits a bit close.. It hasn't melted yet, but it has a few scuffs where the exhaust rubbed on it (before I adjusted it not to be on it).

Ok from looking at that picture two things could of been done! One remove the rear diffuser, or two he pushed up on the diffuser causing it to bend the two support brackets causing it to sit higher!

judging by the pic i dont think he removed it because you can still see the 2 bumps on it just sitting higher

Why would this be needed? It doesn't look much different then stock and I think you'd only be able to see it when laying on the ground

From the looks of the picture, I can't tell if it's tucked or not. When I installed my Nismo S-Tune, the exhaust canister touched and flushed right up against the black plastic portion of the rear bumper. I almost thought I had to cut a portion of it out. When I was under there, it was hard to imagine bending anything further up. Hopefully you're able to accomplish what you want. Keep us posted.

You would literally need to be laying on the ground to see them

Another reason is the resonators are pushing on the defuser n it has a buldge on the left side

Bump! I want to know how to do this. I just got a Tanabe Medallion exhaust on and that plastic peice looks like its sagging a bit. I think it would look a lot better if it wasn't there.

Walk to the back of your nismo and inspect it yourself...then get done and look underneath for those two brackets...then as mention above in my previous post...you will wanna push them up. As if you where doing a bicep curl?
