2015 Nismo Bumper on 2009 Sport possible?

axmea? · 04-17-2016, 06:45 PM

Thanks for posting too tall. I will have a drl someday but I would rather spend that kind of money on something else like on cooling.

Don't you guys find that extra plumbing quite useless?

I can't wait for someone to make some brake ducts like the ones available for the older Nismo front

and for someone to try the Varis intake ducts as well

EDIT: Some german racing team did it

If I do the conversion, I have not found a good way to attach my brake ducts to the DRL holes or front area like on the standard nose. I saw this pic a couple months ago and decided I would use that 4" inlet necked down to my 3" ducts.

TooTall - I may be PMing you for some help on what to tap into to get my DRLs wired up. I'm trying to make it so that it's very easy to disconnect so when I take the bumper off, I don't have to rip out or cut any wires.

This weekend was all about the Z - Put the new fenders on, baked and painted the headlights, and put the new front bumper on. Still need to wire the DRLs, put the headlights back in, and put the sideskirts back on. Next weekend the new rear bumper and wing go on!

I used some of these to be able to disconnect the DRL.

Electrical Waterproof Connectors Set 1 2 3 4 5 6 Pin Way Superseal Pair Car Boat | eBay

The NISMO lights have a connector on all ready but i couldnt source the female end to use on the loom I created. So i removed the OEM connector and used the ones linked above.

Which DRL do you have?

I have the EVO-R DRLs....so it's just a red & and black wire that I have to connect (positive/negative)

Ah ok. The theory is the same, just add a waterproof connector to the EVO-R DRL and you'll be able to disconnect them from your loom if you need to remove the bumper.

The connectors i linked above are the exact ones I used, I had to order mine online - but i'm in the UK.

I did a thing.

Does the rear bumper come with the read stripe? Mine's all painted one color and I want to get the same red on there

Bumpers come unpainted. So you would need to paint the red stripe, if you want one.

Damn, I wasn't thinking about it. Any matching Vinyl out there I can buy?

cooltoy · 04-20-2016, 12:42 PM

Probably. Check out a shop that does that kind of thing. I am sure they can find a vinyl close enough. Do you have the red inserts in the front? If so, just match to them.
