Hey guys,

I know this is a REALLY bad photo but there is something about this lip I really like. I don't have a better photo unfortunately (It isnt mine or anyone I know).

I've been looking everywhere and it seems the only name of a lip I can find is the east bear stuff, which this is not.

Anyways, please give it a shot if you think you might know what it is.

Thanks for your time in advance.

ps: If you know where in brisbane this could be purchased that would be awesome.

I saw someone elses photo here and quickly photoshoped it to suit

I think someone said 'east bear aero kit' but the front spoiler on the blue photo is just the factory front (not factory aero/nismo kit).

If someone could confirm, it would be highly appreciated.

Well, technically, it's not the East Bear lip.... Because the East Bear one has the bottom diffuser as well:

And Viva Garage lip is a copy of East Bear:

So from the looks of it, it just looks like there's another version of the East Bear lip (not made by East Bear) but without the bottom diffuser OR it is an East Bear/style lip but has been chopped.

Hey mate

Thanks for your reply.

It really does look like a 'chopped' version of that east bear lip. I looked everywhere and can't find it!!!

The first photo - The owner said 'Paid a fella $200 bucks to get it and put it on for me'. So they must be off the self like that somewhere...

Any further knowledge or help would be highly appreciated it - thanks guys

Actually, another thought, it is the East Bear lip, but it's not the first one I posted that was MADE for GTT stock bar.

But it's the East Bear lip that's made for the East Bear kit:

Because the East Bear lip that's made for the East Bear kit is made up of 2 separate components, the lip and diffuser, it's detachable.

So how did that guy manage to get it onto a standard front so nicely.

So you reckon that one only fits the east bear spoiler?

How did you find this information I've been searching for hours!!! My car words/terminology must be heavily lacking :P

Thanks heaps though Charles - You have been a massive help.

Actually, this is f**king around with my head lol, just had another look at the pic, it definitely looks like the East Bear lip that's made for the stock GTT bar but with the diffuser chopped. Not sure whether another workshop has ripped it off and made it without the diffuser or it has just been chopped.

But I found this dodgy version of it on yahoo auctions, it made me lol haha:

Hey mate

You wouldn't know a good place to purchase these from (locally to australia).

I checked other threads and powerplay and viva are popular names but I couldn't find this on either of them.

I sent an email to carmate.com but their website didn't display this lip.

Cheers

Here's a link to Viva Garage's site with the lip:

All I can say is good luck fitting them tho lol.. Heard lots of bad feedbacks...

At the end of the day, you get what you paid for. I bought an East Bear bonnet lip in plastic, AMAZING fitment :)

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      By Chupapy · Posted

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
