Front Lip For A S1 R33 Type M Front Bar


Recommended Posts

had an idea the other day that would be an easy fix for my majorly scraped front bar (damn supercheap carpark :P )

some sort of matte black front lip! do they actually exist tho? iv had a search but yeah, found zilch. i know they made a special extra front peice for the S2 that went onto the front, that was kinda cool. but yeah, something like taht for an S1, or even a GTR style lip...

if anyone is interested or knows where you could get one fabricated, post here!

i have been looking for one for a year now. Hasemi Sport make one over in japland. i found out on the cruise on the weekend, that topstage over here also do one. the topstage one is awesome but a bit too chunky for my liking. was also told that an integra front lip fits if stretched slightly at the sides, or an early model 180sx or s13 lip flipped upside down. dunno bout thises last two tho. havent checked it out

yeah i dont mind that one, it would depend on the car tho. on that, with the vented bonnet and big open front mount, it works. wouldnt be to everyones taste tho, but yeah. like that it doesnt have the angled bits on the sides that the hasemi one has tho.

i couldnt find it on topstage's website tho :)

that carmate one looks the goods. i want something like that but for the type m bar. but your mate's one looks to be plastic (by all the paint loss but no cracking). if only we could combine the two

Thanks for the rep marko.....i would love to be able to tell everyone where i got mine from but it came on my car when imported from Japland.....I am going for a whole new kit soon so this will most likely be up for grabs....everyone that has seen the car has asked me where to get one from and i frankly dont have a clue.....looks wicked though

i'ld love a lower lip too, my old series 2 front bar had that nismo lower lip/chin but i didnt realy like it, then one day some one reversed into me abit crakin the bar so i told the panel beater to take it off.

i'ld love something in black, something like the r33 gtr but not as low.....

something like the carbon fibre one on the r34 tr vspecs would be hot !

had another idea of just painting the bottom part of the front bar in a matte/satin black. to give i guess a "false lip" advantages are that its quick and easy to just mask it off and spray, doesnt make the front any lower than it already was and if it gets scratched its easily fixed (just spray over it again, no need to colour matching!)

only disadvantage would obviously be once youv done it theres no turning back.

there is a white R33 getting around town here, same M-Spec bar, but has the middle part of it painted black (the part the sits infront of the radiator) looks quite neat, but dont think it would sit well on a grey car...

there's a plastic moulding buisness just 5 min walk from me. i went in today and although they dont usually do automotive bits, but in the next couple of weeks i'll take some of these pics in and have a chat to the guys. of course an actual lip to make copies of would be easier...

provided they have access to the front of your car to get measurements etc, it shouldnt be that much of a prob. hopefully they can conjure something up tho!

    • G'day Rob.  Have you sold your 370GT?  I have just started looking.
    • Could you have not cut off the OEM flange, weld on a larger flange for DBW?
    • Maybe of interest, a little while ago I spoke to one of the guys from Rajab Racing Developments and he hinted to me they could be developing a new cast exhaust manifold. Incidentally, they have already made one for the barra and it looks functional 
    • So Bathurst coming up so really need to get this new ECU in. I regret going to flex fuel and all the headaches associated with DBW with cruise etc....a miss the simplicity of Power Fc   I make enough power that I should have just gone back to 98 but...anyway Turns out with the std inlet I cant really go any bigger than 60mm DBW so wasnt able to play with that aspect of the update.  
    • We're bringing Pizzas back!! Pizza Runs, to be specific... We had a practice Pizza Run a while ago, and everyone has been screaming for a proper one... So you've asked, and now we're delivering! Since your tastebuds are tingling, feast your eyes on the event details: Date: Saturday 27th July 2024 Meet Location: Parking Lot - 1 Parkview Dr, Sydney Olympic Park Meet Time: Meet at 5.30pm for a 6.00pm departure Destination: Talotta's Pizzeria, 1-3 Bridges St, Kurnell Map: https://tinyurl.com/saunsw-talottas  We'll meet at the carpark on the corner of Parkview Drive and Australia Avenue in Sydney Olympic Park. When we leave the parking lot, we'll head down Australia Ave, and turn right onto Homebush Bay Drive at the large roundabout near DFO. As soon as we turn onto Homebush Bay Drive, we will be turning left onto the M4 to drive through the new M4/M8 tunnel! Everyone loves a bit of RB action through a tunnel.... We'll exit the tunnel at the Gardener's Road exit, and turn onto Princes Highway, where we'll follow it onto Rocky Point Road and then onto Taren Point Road. Once we reach Miranda, we'll turn left onto Captain Cook Dr, where we'll continue on straight until we reach Talotta's Pizzeria for some pizza goodness!!! There is a small carpark at the destination. Limited spaces are available, but there will be plenty of street parking in front of Talotta's There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit.
