Radiator, Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Nissan Altima (2008-2013) IV generation (L32) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Nissan Altima (2008-2013) IV generation (L32) with a Kolchuga® skid plate made from 2 mm thick steel. This robust protection serves as a shield for your engine, oil pan, and transmission, ensuring that critical components remain intact against road hazards. Designed specifically for your vehicle, this skid plate provides reliable defense against impacts from below.
The main Kolchuga® protection panel is made from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Steel protection is available with two coating options, providing different levels of corrosion protection.
| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhiteCover® | Hot-dip galvanizing (compliant with EN ISO 1461). | Reliable and long-lasting coating. Ideal for vehicles with very intensive use (e.g., commercial vehicles). | Up to 24 months |
| ZiPoFlex® | Premium combination: Hot-dip galvanizing + Polymer painting + Polymer lacquer. | The ultimate solution for any, even the most demanding operating conditions (corrosivity category C5). | Up to 36 months |
This skid plate covers critical areas including the radiator, gearbox, and engine, ensuring comprehensive protection. Its construction includes reinforcing ribs for added rigidity and ventilation openings to maintain optimal cooling. Additionally, service access openings allow for easy maintenance without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields against various road hazards such as rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. Its installation not only provides mechanical protection but also reduces corrosion risk and enhances aerodynamic efficiency. The skid plate is designed to mount directly to factory points, requiring no drilling or modifications.
How does Kolchuga® protection differ from the factory one? The factory (stock) protection is typically a plastic dust cover (splash guard) or thin composite material. Its main function is protection from dirt and dust. In contrast, Kolchuga® protection is a durable metal plate (steel or aluminum) that serves as a mechanical shield. It provides reliable protection from impacts against rocks, branches, or open manholes. The key difference: Factory protection guards against dirt, while Kolchuga® guards against impact.
