Does anybody know if they make front lips for 34GTT's? eg.. something like the 34 GTR lip.

Thanks

Yes , they do, looks similar to the lower black R34 GTR one with two little vents, looking for one for my car as well but local and cheap or Im going to make a mold to fiberglass one up.

two kinds available here

pretty sure there is a nismo lip too for GTT cant find pics of it though

[Carbon 34]

The Nismo one looks like this one, these photos give you an idea of the GTT with the full GTR kit

pretty sure C-west makes a Carbon fiber one, but if I remember right it has Canards attached to the ends ? not sure if Canards are legal to run, since they're kinda sharp for peds , but don't plan on hitting one anytime soon..lol

if I make one it will have the diffuser part too .like this one

this guy in the UK has Carbon goodies for our cars , as you can see from the photos , the wall has a front lip for sale

id love one, but they are pretty expensive.

[Carbon 34]

maybe I should get busy making a mold for one? but I'm not 100% sure my front bar has the same arc as the one the older R34 has? be curious to trial fit the mold or a template on one of the older cars to see?. might keep me busy making a bunch of them....lol

hell maybe if I find a cheap place to get carbon fiber in town I'd make some out of that?, Anyone know of a place that sells it cheap? save me the time to call a hundred places..lol ?

[Damo_R34]

i have a nismo bar that you are quite welcome to test one on! maybe make a fibreglass lip and carbon fibre coat it?

thanks damo, I might cut some cardboard out to test it on a few R34 cars to see if the arc to the fender is the same before making molds for mine , be nice if it fit any other years or front ends ? the model year Aug 2000-2001 uses a lot different front bar. hence the series 2 GTT plus a few other goodies too.

and your right the fiberglass backing with a pretty layer of carbon on the front part. nice!!!! then i would need some side skirts and a rear under car pan to match and a carbon wing....lol then it would match the carbon dash parts i have...

[Damo_R34]

lol, dont get too carried away keen as for a front lip. I dont think the arc of the bar chaged TOO much, guess trial and error will be the way to go.

[hotchoc]

Any one for a front lip group buy ?

We might be able to bargain with the suppliers

thanks damo, PSI has pretty decent prices, but the lip I was making is actually a complete multi piece undertray vented to the radiator and real brake cooling vents, oil cooler vents.

but hey if I can get a decent lip already built then add the rest afterwards on thats cool too. save me lots of time

so many projects , so little time ..lol

[Damo_R34]

yeah true, id be keen to pay you for a diffuser to bolt on to a psi parts lower lip, once/if they become available

eastbear from nismo.com.au ?

[Wacky Dee]

they don't sell eastbear ... not that I can see anyway. The only place I'm aware of is powerplayimports but they have no stock of the R34 GTT front lips.

One thing I just found out today is that the eastbear 'prior term bumper lip' is actually FIBRE GLASS ... it's not plastic like the same lip made for the eastbear GTS-R front bumper. Who the hell wants a FRP lip that's going to scrape and crack in no time. I always wanted the eastbear lip because I thought it was made from plastic

The one I want (and thought it was plastic, but it's not): http://www.nengun.com/east-bear/front-spoi...ior-term-bumper

and this is the one they make in plastic but it only fits the eastbear front bumper: http://www.nengun.com/east-bear/front-spoiler-r34-type-1

for $750 plus postage, id rather get a whole gtr front bar with lower lip, not much more for a copy

fiberglass too weak for a lower lip ????, I had a much lower front bar on my RX7 for 11 years, the only time I needed to fix it was after hitting the remnants of a frozen deer carcass at 80mph on a dark night. even then it only cracked a corner of it.

if you know how to drive your car and drive knowing how low and what angle to drive out of car parks at, you wont have problems .

plastic ones would tear if they hit things, look at the ones on OEM cars, they tear when they hit parking blocks. but if you cant drive good dont bother with front lips you will tear them off your car.quickly

and if you guys want one coated with carbon , carbon doesnt like pin point impacts, it tends to shatter the clear gel coat on it if you hit a parking block or something like a rock off a truck?. a bit brittle but strong and light. and a pure carbon lip is expensive to make, at least 300.00 in black carbon alone.

I located some carbon fiber,kevlar,aramid heat proof glass fibers and I can get it in a vast array of colours and thread counts (photos coming soon of colours). so maybe in a few weeks time permitting ,I can see what I can create that wont cost a boat load to reproduce. going to make a few other parts in carbon too, battery boxes, airboxes,coat inside dash parts, and air panels between headlights and radiator. engine fuse box cover , RB25 coil cover and rocker covers in carbon, and neo engine cover in carbon, and new pedistal mounts for my wing , taller ones in carbon if anyone might be interested? dont flood me with orders yet..lol

can someone with a lowered R34 GTR or GTT with lip, measure the distance from the ground to the lip on the front bar? and the distance from the top of the front lip to the bottom of the lip , just for reference since I dont have access to a real one? and only can guess how low to make it ?

the lip i make will replace the factory front plastic under tray, and have functional brake cooling ducts, ducted cooling to the radiator/ fmic and drain holes for water to excape etc. my tray is missing already so not an issue.lol and have a rubber or teflon strip hidden under the front bottom to keep scrape thinning minimized

cheers

Yeh thats the one, my bad.

[Wacky Dee]

you must have had some really good fibre glass front bar then because most of the fg bars I see nowadays are so thin and brittle incl. my rear bar, it wouldn't take much of an impact to shatter them into a million pieces.

I'm sure the eastbear item is as good as fibreglass stuff goes but I still can't see how it's the best solution for something like a lower lip that's guaranteed to scrape and get hit on parking blocks, driveways etc

There must be a reason why the lip they made for the eastbear frontbars is made out of plastic.
