Hey guys,

I'm about to buy a genuine nissan option front lip for my yellow R34.

I used to like the Altis front bar but I found the grill area too curvy, doesn't look as tuff as the stock bar, but I do like the bottom lip bit.

Anyway, my question is, should I spray the middle of the nission option lip matt black? So it looks like the Altis front bar?

Or should I spray the whole thing yellow? Or wrap the middle in carbon fibre vinyl? :(

Here's a photo I edited in photoshop, the car was originally silver, so I had to make it yellow lol. And no, my car doesn't have eye lids.

post some pics of the front of your car, also, why not try photoshopping your front bar in black and with the carbon wrap on it? would be interesting to see the cf wrap on the front

My front bar is just the stock one.

I haven't got the lip yet, picking it up on wednesday.

But what I meant by carbon fibre wrapping is just wrap the middle of the lip and keep the rest yellow.

Here's a pic of my car:

Here is my terrible attempt at a photoshop job, might give an idea

Thanks :P I can kinda picture what it'd look like, but I need other people's opinion lol.

But maybe, I'm thinking to spray the whole thing yellow first, then if I want the middle black/CF, I'll just get vinyl to wrap it?

Hey that silver(not yellow) GTT is copywrited ;)

I loved my optional nissan front lip. Looks more aggressive in person then in photos...

I think it looks good the way it is.

What about a GT-R style front lip while still keeping the stock bar. I've seen a few of them going around but always on white gt/gtt.

these look hot, but at $600ish, costs more than a new front bar

Oh sh*t! *runs*!

Nah man, you pics are the only decent pics of a r34 with the lips :P And me likey :(

So what do you reckon? Since you have one of those on your car? Matt black/CF middle or yellow? ;)

Yeah, what RusH_ said, a genuine east bear one cost $600-700 and there's 2 reasons to why I chose the nissan lip.

-Getting it for $150 lol (2nd hand of coz)

-It doesn't make the front of the car THAT much lower? As to the gtr lips that sits UNDER the bar, where as the nissan lip sits over the bottom of the bar. As you can see, my car is pretty low, so it's not worth spending $600 on a lip that'd scrap on the first day that I get it, I think I'd get so pissed that I'll just kick my bumper in lol.

i searched for ages for one of these front lips because i wanted a genuine one. i finally found one in japan on importmonster and it was already in black so i didnt have to paint it and i love it, it makes the front look so much more aggressive. just to let you know you will have to drill a hole on each side of your front bumper to fit it on then underneath as well.

edit: just to add if you wanted a brand new one of these from nissan its $1200, no BS, i got a quote for one from some nissan dealer on the net.

Had the same idea when i was fitting mine but decieded to spray it all the same colour, heaps better i recon.

Your car looks sick man! The east bear lip is the best thing you can do to that altsa bar lol, but with your coloured car, it was best to do it all silver :P

Yeah, my panel beater told me I'd have to drill holes on my front bar :D I got my lip for $150 2nd hand from b3za :(

Do you have pics of your car? I wanna see the lip on it :P

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
