Carbon 34 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Does anybody know if they make front lips for 34GTT's? eg.. something like the 34 GTR lip.Thanks Matty 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 http://www.nengun.com/east-bear/front-spoiler-r34-type-2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/251528-front-lip-4-34gtt/#findComment-4354108 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon 34 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) The Nismo one looks like this one, these photos give you an idea of the GTT with the full GTR kit http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/91972-r34-gtt-g...le-bodykit.html 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 http://www.envyperformance.com/index.cfm?f...Product_ID=1565 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 http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/81747-carbon-bo...rors-stock.html Edited January 7, 2009 by sapphiregraphics Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/251528-front-lip-4-34gtt/#findComment-4354242 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon 34 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 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 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 i have a nismo bar that you are quite welcome to test one on! maybe make a fibreglass lip and carbon fibre coat it?

Carbon 34 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 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 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 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.

Carbon 34 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/251528-front-lip-4-34gtt/#findComment-4357648 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacky Dee Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) 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 Edited January 19, 2009 by Delta Force Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/251528-front-lip-4-34gtt/#findComment-4376425 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/251528-front-lip-4-34gtt/#findComment-4376801 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacky Dee Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 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.
