Hi All,

I am really getting the sh!ts with the undertray on my R32 GT-R. It looks horrible, it barely holds on, and I reakon one decent knock or rock would tear it off its mounts. I assume Nissan charges a bomb for this (I'll check tomorrow) -- and besides, I don't think the stock material (ie. plastic) is very good -- so is anyone aware of an aftermarket alternative?

I have seen plenty of aluminium options for other Nissans and makes, and Topstage even makes a lower lip/undertray in one for the R32 GT-R, but its considerably lower than the OEM item, looks a bit silly (personal opinion), and I already have trouble with driveways...

There are quite a few floating around on Yahoo Japan. For example:

http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k19019281

http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r17186260

http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k31197219

http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n35274365

I'm really not that fussed with the supposed aero benefits, I just want something that isn't a complete eyesore and pain in the arse to get on and off. Surely some enterprising local shop has made a replacement (and, even better, a replacement lower lip as well)?

Cheers,

Lucien.

How does it look silly? I doubt u could actually see the undertray itself? Unless you mean the lip is too low and looks funny compared to the ground clearance of the rest of the car? How do you know topstage makes em? Did you enquire? Not many products on their site for lines heh

Mine came undone today. Was driving home from uni and heard a noise that sounded like something was rubbing against the guards or something. Took me half the way home to find out it was the undertray. Just put some wire to hold it up for now. probably fix it on the weekend.

Those undertrays look heaps nice from ebay. How much are they???

I know Topstage makes them because he has advertised them on here (there is also someone selling one they bought from Topstage at the moment); he's made version for various cars for ages and advertises on NissanSilvia. Search in the for sale section (sorry, CBF'ed ATM to find his thread).

As I said before, the Topstage unit is a lip and undertray in one. The lip is considerably lower than the OEM one (something like 20-30mm), and in my humble opinion (and its only *my* opinion; this isn't a comment on the quality of the work or an attack on people wanting/liking the Topstage lip) looks silly because its so much lower than the rest of the car (and, again as I mentioned, I already have issues with scraping the lip on driveways at stock height).

AFAIK, it's not a stone guard. My experience suggests it is purely to assist with airflow under the car which assists with airflow through the radiator.

I'm sure its designed for that as well, but remember it also protects all the belts (fan, aircon, etc) and other bits and pieces. Its obviously not going to stop a brick, but it will stop road gravel getting in easily.

Either way, it needs replacing.

hmm that second last one looks the goods. shame it'll probably cost about $600 by the time you get it here.

try nissan. you may be surpirsed.

Yes, they look very nice. I will be in Japan in about a fortnight and I am tempted to buy one and try and cart it back somehow (wonder if it will pass as hand luggage? :D). I'm still suprised that noone locally has made one or a replacement lip.... Whilst the overall market might not be huge, about every second R32 I've seen needs one :D

I've been meaning to contact Nissan for prices on a bunch of parts, but my computer is being a bastard so FAST isn't working. Just waiting to borrow the family laptop when I have a few minutes....

Hey all,

I recently bought an engine undertray for my 32GTR while i was in Japan for a holiday

It set me back 7,928 yen (excluding tax and the 10x bolts required for install)

Part number for the 32 undertray is 7589005U60, in Japanese it's " エンジンロアー" or "engine lower" in ye' old English

Cheers,

Sean

Richard,

This is the part number for the OEM Nissan engine under tray. I am pretty sure it looks like this. i just ordered a new one from Nissan for $185, so 8000 yen is a very good deal

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
