I've looked at this thread a few times and am considering doing it to my 33 instead of a Nismo style lip which is more expensive and I'm not really sold on.

Has anyone been running one long term? Or did everyone give up on these??

hey man, I bought my rubber lip from ebay a while ago, couldn't tell you the exact vendor but there's heaps on there

held on just using double sided tape and still going strong after 6 months through the winter, rain & highway driving

if it starts to fall off, which I don't see happening anytime soon I can always reapply double sided tape

Huh? I thought Amazon don't do anything to Australia, only to US?

A year or two ago I had to get the stuff I ordered on Amazon shipped to a specialist outside-US shipping company and then onto myself - comGateWay.

Amazon is the largest online retailer on earth - pretty sure they can post internationally.....It's a brave new world out there!

I just got confirmation yesterday that it's en route and have a tracking link, so will let you know if it makes it!

The stuff off ebay is totally different to the ones I bought lol. The ones of ebay is THICK and stiff, compare to the ones from Amazon, is soft and bendable, hence why the ebay ones would start to fall off because it's too heavy and when you drive, it fights against the wind :)

Of course Amazon send stuff to Australia, but just depends on what. You are half right though, there's a lot of stuff they don't send to Australia. But the lips isn't one of them :)

I just found a new spare roll at home, if anyone wants it for $25? PM me

Update.

Mine lasted 4 days before the stuff ripped to shreads going into a servo, it was double sided taped and screwed on.

My cars ride height from the lower part of the bumper to the groubd was 160 mm, so not overly low.

I did look good for 4 days though but served no other purpose as it was too flexible for any form of aero.

A waste of money is my official opinion.

I should have bought 6 pack with the money.

High speed runs was not the problem, I went to the drags and got a 134 mph trap speed and it held fine.

The problem is the spongy/soft rubber compond it is made from, as soon as it grounded it tore all of the RHS off and chewed out the rest, the top of it was still attached to the bumper, the lower section of it was dragging behind.

There was only about 400mm of it on the LHS that survived unscathed.

Be wary of any slightly steep driveways or inclines.

finally got around to doing mine.

Haven't seen a black 34 do it yet, so i took my chances lol. went really well, though i wish i had an aftermarket lip that I could've put on and then put this garage seal one on. looks kind of plain.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
