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 :)

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
