To cut a long story short went through a intersection with no workig lights. Wasn't paying attention and hit a pick up truck in the rear and destroyed the cars front end. No air bags deployed (lucky or not but means less cash spent). He wasn't speeding and no one got hurt.

The car is actually a 2003 Skyline 350GT. Due to where i live the parts would have to be shipped to southern africa. I would prefer to buy from the USA because a quote from a UK supplier was $3500 before shipping and tax/duty on my end. I'm hoping the following parts will be cheaper in the US?

Bonnet/Hood
Left side front fender
Front Engine Cradle
Engine Radiator
Airconditioner Condenser
All fans and pulleys
Both head lamps (support brackets broke but headlamps are fine)
Engine grill
Bumper cover
Bumper steel reinforcement
Both plastic wheel well covers
Window washer reservoir and pump
Plastick cover under engine

Long list i know. I dont mind buying used and i was hoping to go aftermarket for most parts if it works out cheaper than OEM and change the look of the car. My plan waas to ship all the parts in the trunk and back seat of a friends car to cut out shipping cost. Will the parts fit in say a typical sedan and do shipping companies allow this?

 

if your an A/T - for your radiator go for aftermarket, such as Koyorad A2258, be careful when ordering aftermartket. Our OEM radiators have a A/T transmission cooling line that connects to the radiator. Mizu has an all polished radiator with A/T lines, koyorad doesnt, mishimoto i think has it.

 

Thank you! I did a little research on the radiator and i'll just have to find one to purchase. Any idea where i could get the other parts for cheap?

 

i think it would be cheaper for you if you just buy a front clip of a g35 in the US then buying the parts individually. It should be cheaper overall and cheaper to ship overall.

 

Sorry if i sound noobish but what exactly is a front clip and are they readily available?

 

its basically everything from the back of the hood to the front of the car. usually includes the motor, front suspension, and fender, hood, front bumper. I would check ebay.
