REPOSTED FROM COUPE FORUM:

Hey guys, after bringing my car for regular maintenance to Competition Infiniti in Smithtown, NY, I discovered today that there are two fairings under the car that were almost completely unbolted. Upon further inspection, I am seeing additional pieces that may also be missing, but I need your help in determining whether they're gone first.

I have a 2003 coupe with Aero kit and Aero package. I KNOW that there were two pieces almost completely removed. Their locations were just forward of the rear wheels on the right and left sides of the car. This was done by TOOLS, not by running something over. The nuts were almost completely undone on the remaining nuts holding it on. The other 2 nuts were completely missing.

PLEASE, post pictures of what the underside of our cars should look like. I'm going to be bringing my car to Infiniti tomorrow and I need to be able to point things out that are missing. If you have the aero kit and aero package, that's great, but even if you don't, if you have pics or can find a diagram of what should be there, that would really be great.


G Squad bro's and sisters....HEELLLLLP!!!!

 

From one of the DIY's from past meets... think this is what you need.

 

Ok, I'm assuming thats the front. The parts that were unbolted were from the mid-rear section. Do you have another shot of the rear of the car? Thanks Jason!

 

i think i know which parts your talking about.
They look like 350Z battery covers.

 

That's the only I have...
I'll have to dig around my 1000's of pix. I might have one when I did my Y-pipe install... I'll check again when I get home.

 

Glex, the parts are similar to what you posted, except I think yours are for the newer cars. Mine has 3 holes for mounting.

 

Look at it closely it does have 3 holes for mounting.
They are the rear underbody aero diffuser.
They go right in front of the rear suspension on each corner.

 

Exactly.

 

Well at least now you know what they are.
What is going to happen next?

 

Stomp nuts. Take names.

 

LOL
Well let us know if you need help.
It's most likely an oversight on the part of the dealer.
I don't see anyone getting under the car and try to get those off blindly.

 

I'm tending to believe you, but that's quite a part to come flying off at speed. This shows some MAJOR QC issues at the very least. These parts were clearly hanging to the ground. At least I figured out why I bottomed out on the little speed bump!
