Is there a call for uk euro rear bumper in the usa? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

markr · 11-02-2008, 04:32 AM

i have connections in the uk, and im over there quite alot, there is a massive call for jdm/us rear bumpers for the s14/s14a

so there is a massive interest in these, but was wondering if over in the states people want the euro bumper??? (pic below) im looking to do an exchange system if there is enough interest

*fliprayzin240sx* · 11-02-2008, 05:10 AM

Maybe...not alot of folks actually know the Euro rear bumpers are diffent nor have actually seen them. I only know 1 person on this board who has that bumper.

Jordn · 11-02-2008, 05:12 AM

Quite why you'd want a Euro rear bumper I have no idea, horrible ugly things!

projectRDM · 11-02-2008, 09:51 AM

That thing is hideous. The only reason to own one is to fit a Z Edition rear valance, and that's a stretch for anyone.

ZX88 · 11-02-2008, 10:38 AM

euro rear bumpers are ugly as hell

Landers · 11-02-2008, 11:09 AM

And with that i would assume there is no call for euro rear bumpers in the usa.

*kognition* · 11-02-2008, 11:18 AM

I always LMAO at the BMW guys that run some cereal box euro plate on the front of their car like they just rolled into town for a stock investor meeting or something. So 80's.

justaKAiswear · 11-02-2008, 11:35 AM

awww... I kinda like the euro plates! I used to rock one

I know someone who was actually looking for one of these, Mike3000 on here I think, might have gotten something else by now though. Ill PM him about the thread.

eds13 · 11-02-2008, 11:37 AM

i know someone who would be interested in one for a 180sx...

ericcastro · 11-02-2008, 11:38 AM

Any Different parts for the S13??

Dont like the plate on the Euro bumper.
Do the red lights stay on with the driving lights?? or are they just reflectors??

Might look cool on a lowered car if the lights stay on?

DreamN · 11-02-2008, 11:43 AM

I believe those are rear foglights which light up with your DTRL, could be wrong though.

No, they are rear foglights that light up when you push the rear foglight switch. UK doesn't have DTRL, only Canada.

*kognition* · 11-02-2008, 01:14 PM

Sorry, but they do belong in europe.
I spend about 3 months out of the year in the UK, and they just become another license plate to me.

You don't want to know what I paid for the Z valance I got a while back. Or what I turned around and sold it for. Some people buy whole cars for the same money.

Jakob · 11-02-2008, 02:16 PM

i live in germany and the z edition rear valances are almost impossible to find. there was one for sale on the german boards it went for 300 euro iirc

OptionZero · 11-02-2008, 05:44 PM

That's not bad at first glance since you're "local". Now add in shipping and customs to the united states for that and a bumper and we're getting into rape.

FYI

Only one side lights up, the other side is a reflector. Conceivably you could rig lights for both, but i was too lazy

Mangudai · 11-02-2008, 05:52 PM

What does the Z valance look like?

1CLNS14 · 11-02-2008, 06:04 PM

only Thing that would be of intrest is the engine harness part number for this car. or a vin to get the part number from the FAST program, this car looks to be LHD and these came with the SR20DET so a brand new harness from Nissan would save everyone the hassle of rewiring. Assuming this car is a 5 speed.

just a thought. You could make sum money buying A few harnesses from nissan and shipping to the US.

searching and common sense don't work in the "south"?

google regional blackout?

Johny5 · 11-02-2008, 09:39 PM

google the word "terrible" and you'll find the z valence and the euro bumper!

derek_s13 · 11-02-2008, 10:53 PM

or mangudai, you could look half an inch above your post and see a picture of it

..yeah

EDIT: i'd be intensely interested in UK s14 rear glass WITH wiper. all inclusive. i'm talking like... go get a loan tomorrow interested. i don't even think it'd get here in one piece.

It didn't come up. Nice try though.

OptionZero · 11-03-2008, 01:01 AM

Z-edition was mentioned in the post by da russian one

The first result on google for "S14 z-edition" is the srb replica thereof

Searching "z-edition" on zilvia gives you a shitload of threads

You fail.

SlideWell · 11-03-2008, 01:06 AM

im gonna jump out here and say i love the uk spec rear bumper and lip. i believe it compliments the tail lights very well, more so with a shaved 3rd brake light (or JDM zenki trunk, same shit).

Its really not that serious, just used the wrong words.

***S14DB*** · 11-03-2008, 01:37 AM

Am I the only one that would want the rear glass and wiper? I just know the rear glass would be insane to get shipped here. Hell even the USDM rear glass is a rip.

Yes you are the only one...every S14, hell even S15s that ive seen that has one, either has a stub left or is all rusted to hell. Leaking rear glass sucks.

ericcastro · 11-03-2008, 03:13 AM

could you not have the rear wiper assembly sent here, then have your regular glass cut by a professional??
then just mount up the wiper and wire it all in properly??

No S13 stuff from Europe??

And i like the back bumper except for the plate thing is to euro specs

You can't cut auto glass. You could have a new piece of glass made which would be absolutely retarded expensive, or use Lexan or something of lesser cost. I've seen a few rear windows on Ebay before, problem is a lot of the JDM rear windows doesn't come with a rear defogger, the keyless antenna, or the FM antenna so you'd want glass from Europe to have all the proper options, and as said shipping from mainland Europe is way more than Japan, especially on glass. The packing and freight charges just to ship within the US is sick. I've sold two rear windows in the past and by the time you build a box and stuff it well enough to keep the glass from breaking you've got a box the size of a piano.
All that effort for something that, IMO, looks like shit. Functional or not, we don't get enough rain to justify sticking a wiper back there.
