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

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

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 ?

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...

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

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

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.

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.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
