I also like the look of the sport wheels on a nismo over nismo wheels.

Z34

Actually the Amuse is not cheaper in the end, and I have priced both out completely with parts, labor, paint. It is close but the Nismo conversion wins slight, especially now with pieces like the ZSpeed undertray on the market.
Also, I am doing the conversion because in 09 the Nismo was not out and I like it more than the Amuse, also there are 4-5 Amuse Z in Houston already.

I placed an order for $26.13/each + free shipping from Discount Body Parts

They're not OEM from Nissan but they claim they're OEM replacement parts and Nissan sometimes directly order parts from them. We'll see. If it serves the function, I'm happy.

I'll post pictures when I get them in.

Did you call Discountbodyparts to order OEM NISMO Fender Liner Splash Guard? I don't see any NISMO parts when clicked the link.

Great idea for a thread. I'll be doing the same thing as soon as I decide on what pieces I want for sure. Was going to do Nismo S-tune, but still might go stillin since I bought my car to race. Like you I wish I would have just popped for Nismo to begin with. Nice garage and bikes by the way...

Yes I had to call them. Initially how I discovered these parts was I googled them and they showed up on eBay but I didn't jump on it and the time expired. I emailed and they didn't know what I'm talking about. It was a girl that's why. Then called and talked to a guy an gave them the expired eBay item which led to finding the item. Good luck if you call them.

Thanks man! Good luck with your body kit. If you go with Nismo S tune you shouldn't have to do much like the OEM Nismo front.

awesome thread! Nice to see how all those parts go together, ive had some damage in the front bumper area, and ive got some gap between the under diffuser and the bumper in the corners, i had to zip tie it. When i put on my intake, ill take it all apart and try to do something like you did with the metal clip, might make it more sturdy.

Are you going with NISMO wheels? I dont like the look of a nismo kit with sport wheels, just kills it IMO, one guy on the forum was selling a set for $1500 but one of the wheels needed re-finishing because he had sanded it and spray painted black.

Looking good man!

Gap:

I am actually thinking of fabricate my own out of flexible plastic sheet rather than pay $90/ea for those 4 pieces ($400+) but I will use a rivet gun to mount it on my bumper. I haven't gotten that part yet, but I assume it's like a Rivet gun. I will paint the rivets black if the OEM Rivets don't come colored black. I think I can get away with hiding it because I have a Magnetic Black 370z.

Let me know what you end up doing. Cheers!

Yeah that's the part.. I guess I may have to either 'purchase' rivet gun or have them done @ a shop..

I personally like the regular Sports wheel over the Nismo ones because the effort Randy Rodriguez put into them but I really wish I have the Nismo wheels' Width/offset. I wish I could own both honestly but I track my car so if I should spend $ it should be a set of lightweight 18"x10 and 18x10.5" aftermarket due to choice of tires. Plus, my fiancee got my Sports powdercoated my last birthday. She invested $600 on powdercoating them so it has sentimental value to me which prevents me in trading/upgrading my 19"s to Nismo.

Wow! That's a lot...I'll try to come up with a BOM when I'm done, I don't think I've spend even half of that. But you will get all OEM parts so that's always nice!

Then I spray painted it Flat Black afterwards....

yeah,I'm liking this mod
