this wont answer your question but it is on topic...

I have chosen with my past few cars to make my own

using off-the-shelf 4wd rubber wheel arch extensions that are meant to be mounted horizontally, i just hang them under the bumpers instead. flexable and forgiving.

this is how it mounts on 4 wheel drives

i mount it this way up

would look better with the series 1 lower half colour coded.... but you can still see the difference

for rubber, in SA we have Clarke Rubber who sell it off the roll by the metre. $20 per metre i think, so $40 to do the front (plus whatever you need to fix it to the car - one screw or bolt plus a large mudguard washer every 150mm or closer)

im sure any 4WD accessory shop sells it for about double the price

I've got the series 2 lip and can confirm they are different from the Coupe. I sourced mine from Yahoo auctions in Japan many years ago. They are also available from US and also japanparts.com but be prepared to pay through your nose upwards of $600 landed. If you can find a 2nd hand one from Japan it would be much cheaper.

Cool.. Thanks guys.. Think I'll stick with deep dish's $40 Clarke rubber.. Lol much cheaper and at my ride height probly more affordable to replace later when needed also...

this stuff is heavy duty. you'd sooner tear the whole bumper off before damaging the rubber.

it flexes back under the car easily, but if you get it caught when reversing you'll feel it. those concrete blocks in carparks are a pain. just remember to always reverse park if your mufflers are high enough

my front lip has dragged on various things and not even scratched. a quick squirt of silicone spray makes it shine (and possibly reduces wind friction by 0.00000000000000000000001%) baahahaha

oh and you could mount it so that it points slightly outwards, rather than directly down like mine.

and before anyone says it, yes i know this lip is not to everybodys taste. its just an option.

Just curious..ur username says 350GT8..is that the car you are referring to coz I don't think GT8s came in series 2...

yeah.. ive got a 350gt8.. im not really sure what series it is.. tried searching online.. and all i could come up with was its a 1.5 model.. lol.. its one between the cross over of series 1 and 2...

ive got series 1 interior, headlights, grille, series 2 tail lights and front and rear bars and bootlid (without doggy handle). ive had the car for almost 2 years and up til now still dont know.. previous owner said same as what i found and read online.. " its a 1.5" i dont really know..

if anyone can shed some light on this would be good... sorry way off topic though..

Anyone know if the 2007-2008 G35 Sedan OEM Factory Front Lip would fit a 2004 V35 300GT?

There's one for sale on ebay

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/INFINITI-OEM-FACTORY-ACCESSORY-FRONT-CHIN-SPOILER-LIP-G35-G37-4-DOOR-2007-2009-/261059090847?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cc855999f

Not too sure how it would look on the 300GT if it did fit though

the biggest giveaway in that pic is the headlights. Boomerang shape is V36 equivalent

im not 100% on this, but ...

2001-2005 v35 in japan = 2003-2006 g35 in US

I know for sure mine is 2001 JDM series one so i look for 2003 USDM parts to get series one, or i look for 2005 USDM parts to get series 2

if the headlights are different shape, you can be certain the parts wont fit.

edit- isnt there a topic that explains the year model jap-usa conversion in detail?

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
