I still say try topstage of ns.com. I dont see why he wouldnt be able to replicate it.

It's not possible to make a *decent* mould out of an item that isn't hard.

The factory lip is made of a rubber like material and can not be duplicated 100%. Thus leaving room for error and when you're playing around with expensive gear like carbon fibre you just can't have this.

I was actually behind this group buy (with the obvious help of dezz) but it's just not happening.

The sample has been sent off to the carbon fibre factory in Taiwan but unfortunately it can not proceed.

Sorry guys, I wish there was something we could do but we can't. I was unaware of the moulding process until after this EOI for a group buy was organised. I personally didn't think it would have been a problem. :P

want to make this happen? i can make a proper mould for this lip and guaranteed to fit or money back, who got the bonnet lip? what a shame.....

email me at [email protected].

You can make a mould out of something that isn't hard?

You're game.

hey man, it's just the technique that grows and experience made us better. so are theese guys wanna do this or not?

forget to mention, that white carbon thing, it isn't carbon, it's DYED FIBERGLASS (silver) .

we have now BLue (CF+kevlar) , Green (CF+kevlar), Yellow (CF+kevlar), Silver (texalium) or even colour matched cf combo.

these coloured stuff are new, and the colour matching stuff are only we can do them :thumbsup:

TOPSTAGE group buy front bonnet lip

black carbon $100 as this thread said.

Coloured CF (blue, green, silver, and yellow) $120

anyone got an r32 with the bonnet lip call mo on 0401216460 and i'll give you a set for thank you?

Freddy, any chance of a lower lip (the one under the bumper) in carbon, but the same as standard. ie, same design just carbon fibre?

The lips are still available brand new from Nissan.

We ordered a brand new one for this group buy but have sent it to the factory we are working with in Taiwan.

Thus don't have access to it at the moment :D

i have the lip i got with my gtr that i havnt put on yet...seeing as the gtr is sitting waiting for the build to finish you can use mine as a copy :D

i'll give u a call tomorrow :yes:

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
