thorpe991 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 the way i plan on making it is useing metal that have all the holes in it (to mount the bumper to where it would clip to the old support and mount to the frame) then useing more of it just make a trapazoid? i tthink a rectangle with a top that is shorter than the bottom and the sides angle in from botom to top not actully have the support just a frame that has bracing to hold it stiff i have a bunch of the metal because my gpa used it for everthing and then use it also to mount my light well in my tear down i found im leaking major oil from my oil pan gasket so im thinking about doing a sfd since i have to drop it anyways to change that gasket i am thinking of doing a 3" i can fab the spacers for the subframe but am going to look at buying the 4" strut spacer from krfab so i can still have the level look i have how would i go to lifting the rear? and can i buy just the spacers from krfab?

ferrariowner123 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Nice. That's why I'm happily single at the moment. And let me know if you want to sell that fender you bought. I'm still in need and greyhound has wicked cheap shipping. -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpe991 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Well the fender isnt in perfect condition i had to cut the very bottom of it where it bolts to the body because the bolt was stripped and mine was busted off inside of the hole that it bolts into so i wasnt worried about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpe991 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 So did they ever make a 99 - 04 r50 with the tire carrier? I dont mean in the is i mean every wheres because i seen a baby blue face lifted pathfinder with all correct flares bumpers markings and interior ( i creeped alil) with a tire carrior on the back and the licence plate holder was molded into the hatch off to the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrariowner123 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Ahh, okay, thanks anyway, and yes they did technically make a kouki pathfinder with a swing away, I think it mainly Canada models got them. They even changed the swing away design when they did that. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Pathmaker Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Yes they did in the US, I believe only 99.5 and maybe 2000, was not an available option in 01 as I wanted one. Was told by all the dealers I spoke to before buying my 01, no longer available. Boooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boooo Interesting, i have NEVER seen a kouki with a swing away, in person, but still cool to see, need to check my catalogs i have been collecting, i have a 96, 01, and 04, Sounds like i have reason to get the ones in between, lol -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpe991 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hey my local jy has a 300zx with the 3.0 in it is a 86 is this also a vg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrariowner123 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Yeah, it's a VG, but I'm unaware if the cams are the same. Plus they may be different between turbo and non turbo... Kingman has a Z31, he would know. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01Pathmaker Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Hmmm, interesting. So a facelift bumper will fit the early r50? Any modification needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpe991 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Some trimming to fit fenders and i just selftapped the sides to the fenders and i didnt have the bumper support so i used the old metal from the old bumper and more self tapers ill take more pics tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrariowner123 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I know the bumper support won't fit dude the bar that runs under the grill and headlights. Maybe with that out of the way, it will work. But I'm fairly sure he's not running the bumper support. -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
