Recently mangled the lower two lips - the diffuser and the part it's attached to between the diffuser and bar. Need new or second hand (in reasonable condition).

Surely some of the z-tune front bar converts can help me out with their leftovers.

Hey mate,

Carmate sell the splitter and lip together for a little under $500... There are quite a few places that make oem Copys of the splitter, I'm picking one up this week, I can let you know if they are any good...

Chasing genuine oem ones I'm guessing will be long winded and expensive. There was a White one on eBay last week from a place called Fuji something?.,,

Just a thought.

Cheers,

Anthony

Bought a Carmate one for my 1st R34 GT-R. It was a perfect fit, and having the F/G splitter for 4.5 yrs, it had no splits or cracks after the occasional rub with something.

I did do a test fit 1st tho'

Here is the front spoiler and lip that Terry is talking about on our previous R34 GT-R. Couldn't fault it. As long as you take care going over driveways and dips not to damage it, the fibreglass should be a good enough substitute given the coin outlay.

Thanks for the comments.

I have been looking around. There is a carbon one from Knight Racer in the UK for $850-$900 thanks to the Aussie dollar. That one is also the middle lip and the diffuser together. But can't be sure of quality. Apparently carbon skin and skeleton, no fibreglass according to the website.

Terry and Matt, the fitment looks pretty good. Thanks Matt for PMing me earlier.

Let me know how the fitment of the Mu Secret one goes Anthony. Very interested.

Import monster has a new oem one, but is pricey.

A friend of mine bought the lower lip from JSAI at Tarren Point and for a replica its rather good. Bolted straight up into the factory holes and looked fairly good too. Price was very good also at $280 from memory.

Only downfall is that the lip doesnt come all the way across under the car and tunnel towards the gearbox as a genuine one does but for the price you pay it looks the part from the outside and his its still holding up

Let me know how the fitment of the Mu Secret one goes Anthony. Very interested.

Hey mate,

Got the Mu Secret one friday afternoon, found out it is actually just a JSAI one... wasnt too happy with the finish to be honest, fittment wasnt to bad, had to force it in places to bolt it up etc.. and as the above post says it doesnt go under the car very far at all. It does look the part and is cheap tho.

Can provide you with more info if your interested, just let me know.

Cheers,

Anthony

Just to coment on the finish. They only come with a base coat when you recieve them. Abit of wet sanding, primer and trim black paint (was told this was the matching code from factory) and it comes out looking amazing! Only cost about $30 to DIY it so well worth it otherwise it just looks cheap and worn out

The benefit of the Kinght rager one is that it appears like it will butt up to the back half of the diffuser (i.e. it has the two prongs in the middle of the diffuser).

I think i'll go for that one or the carmate one they both look like they'll butt up to the existing engine cover. Anyone know roughly how much it would cost to spray the carmate one?

Probably go white for the middle spoler and black (satin or matte) for the diffuser.

My other issue is that the car is way too low. Looking at getting some new coilovers soon, so I might wait till they go on before I put the new lip on.

Looking at Ohlins Road and Track's because the aussie dollar is so strong against the € and £ now. Estimated around ~$3100-3200 for a set landed (not installed).

Mate if your from Sydney you might as well drive to Tarren Point JSAI. Carmate are exactly the same as the JSAI ones and you can actually pick them up on the spot as opposed to waiting for online delivery. They can also paint them for you for extra cost.

The diffuser colour as i stated earlier is Trim black and you can do it your self for about $30 its really fool proof and impossible to stuff up.

I need the middle lip and diffuser, which JSAI don't do. And from the comments above Mu Secret=JSAI. The carmate one seems to have the prongs that imply it should butt up to the sump cover.

Terry/Matt, did the carmate one join up with the sump cover (or you guys didn't have the sump cover because it was a non-V-spec).

Hey Nick,

Nope, didn't come with the sump cover from what I recall. Double check with them, but I'm pretty sure no - and yeah the GTR didn't have one stock as it wasn't a V.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
