Hi guys,

I'm just wondering where's a good place to buy the front lip for a S3 GTR R33, This ones cracked & wondering what options I have ? Can you buy just the front lip or can I buy a used front Bar from S2 or S1 R33?? How much should I be paying?

Also I am after the NISMO "GT-R" Carbon rear wing end plates that go on the rear spoiler, any place other than justjap.

You can get a genuine Nissan S3 lip from Nissan for $1500 (yes - just the lip) - or a fibreglass one from UAS (http://www.uniqueautosports.com.au) for about $300.

I got the FG one. Needed quite a bit of work to clean up and fit - but looks excellent when done. Much tougher than S2 lip. Cost me $350 to fit and paint (Aero-image in Sunshine - did a great job)

Looks better in the flash - but you get the idea...

Jamezilla - I rang'em they wanted $390 just for the lip. There website says $295 WTF!! You sure you bought it for $300 from unique. Any way your car is as we say "looking more & more shhh-poondeen" Thought I prefer the stock look, your's does look amazing.

Thanks guys for ya help

It cost me about $390 shipped to Melb, and then a further $350 to fit and paint. Actual part was $295. Pretty expensive for just the front lip :)

Nissan one (advertised on UAS for $950) is actually $1500. Fits much better, is plastic - but still needs paint.

Cheers for the notes about the car :)

S3 lip really helps the look. So much meaner. Surprised more people haven't done it. Wheels & exhaust are only mods. Stock colour, trim, body - is a VSpec.

Looks low in the 2nd pic as I had just hit a pothole and busted my shocks :) Here is is in 'speedboat' mode.

Note too that the aftermarket lip has no centre vanes in the brake ducts and doesn't fit the S2 brake air guides. No biggie - but FYI.

Sold OEM lip for $200 as well :)

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
