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

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
