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

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
