NIVARA ST-X SPORT BARS

Macca I have looked at a few off the STRs admittedly (am after one for my Poverty pack DX) and they have ranged in price from $60- intthis weeks trading post to 250 odd on ebay.

I had one lined up from a fella on the gold coast at an agreed price of $140-...unfortunately for me I just couldn't get there from CQ to pick it up.

There have been a lot of sports bars from the STRs for sale in both Brissy and Melbourne.

I sent you an email Phantom

I got onto Nissan HQ in Melbourne today, with limited success. No the vehicles dont come fitted with the sports bars into the county. They are added on at a place refered to by Nissan CSO as "the compound" and then delivered to the dealers.

However, when I asked are the holes for the bar pre drilled at manufacturing level, the answer was "ummmmmmm deeeeeerrrrrrr" I dont know? He(the CSO) asked me why I wanted to know that for, so I explained the situation about the canopy being fitted and having no drill holes if possible, would be an advantage.

The CSO then advised me to get the dealer to contact Nissan's regional office and they could tell the dealer! Bloody amazing hey, why in the hell couldnt he find out and get back to me? Its all getting to hard I think!

Having bought a ST-X in December I think I can confirm that they are fiited on arrival in Oz- not at point of manufacture and not dealer fitted.
My vehicle was delayed by a few days and when i pushed and asked why the dealer said there were delays in fitting the sports bars. Fine i said - leave them off and deliver it tomorrow. Reply was that they Nissan would not release to dealers until they were fitted (by an independant, over whom the dealer had no control) , and in any case they were manufacrured with all tapped holes ready to recive them in country of origin after shipping from Spain.
God knows why(but Nissan must!)
