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

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.

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
