If this is an East Bear item i can tell you the quality is awesome ! :O

Yes it's East Bear and the quality is second to none, bolts straight on to East Bears GTR style ( for GT and GTT ) Front Bar.

Could be fitted straight on to GT and GTT style bars with a little custom work at the sides.

-- Mate, good to see you actually recieved something from Pplay... I took advice from SAU members and ordered this lip from PowerPlay Imports (Joanne) in on 9 July, 2007 and paid 50% deposit ($285)...Now, 4 months later (14 Nov)..I still haven't recieved anything or had any confirmation from Joanne.

I'm starting to belive this whole thing is a con..I was told it takes 4-6 weeks to import from Japan and deliver. I patiently waited and for the first 2 months when the lip was on the way from Japan ..and the last two months everytime I called she said she sent it out and I would recieve in 3 working days. The '3' working days have passed now and now no one picks up the phone at Powerplay anymore (on the number supplied above).

PowerPlay is Bull, I'm in Syd next week..might pay them a lil' visit when Im there and settle this once and for all..

Does fibreglass crack easily? I've got a genuine S3 lip, but it's been colour coded to the car. Might just be easier to buy a fibreglass one??

TommO - fibreglass is fine, until you hit something.

even so - i wore 2 holes in the bottom of my bar when i had it stupid low for a couple of weeks, no cracking, just holes in it :( keep your gen one, and if cheap enough grab a FPR one for everyday driving

I am going to paint my bottom lip tomorrow from goldie yellow to matt black...

I am thinking of priming it down then sand it out all rough edges then prime again but a few layers of paint before going gloss... is this right?

Thanks for the tips fellas... I spent over 1 hour and finally have a really top-looking GT-R-style front lip... I primed it twice then gave it 3 coats of matt black paint... turned out awesome!!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
