G'day all,

I've owned my R34 GTR VSPECII for around 4 months. In this time it's taken me a while to adjust to the front bar, and lack of space available to park ANYWHERE nose in, on the basis that the extra black plastic front lip on the bottom of the bar prevents the car from hanging over a gutter or even the parking cement barriers. So I've taken the time to adjust and learn that I cannot park it far in to a car spot.

With saying that though, the process of learning this has resulted in the plastic lip gaining a couple of chips and cracks. Whilst you need to really be paying attention to notice it, I defintiely do notice..

Does anyone know where you can purchase these black lips on the front bar? I'm guessing I'm not the first to damage, and I defintiely don't want to buy an entire front bar just for the tiny black plastic lip.

Any advice would be great..

honestly unless you want to pay heaps for one out of nissan id be getting the original one fixed threw a platic repair place much cheaper...If you want something different (aftermarket) then fibreglass is the only thing you will find and trust me you dont want fibreglass lips they smash and crack where the plastic has some give and strength.

No, I have no intent to place an after-market front lip. that would be just over-kill on something that already looks nice.

I would like to purchase one none the less, as having a spare one floating around would be handy. Is there a spare part (number) that you're aware of, or anyone is aware of?

Hi,

PM me with your e-mail and I'll send you the pics of my replacement front lip & see if you can tell if it's OEM or plastic or glass?

Since taking over my car, I've had the i) lip ii) NACA Duct iii) side skirts iv) rear pods painted pearl black to match the car.

Cheers, T

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
