Hey guys,

I am looking for a genuine R34 GTR oem plastic lip as pictured below.

It must not have any splits or fractures, so don't bother posting or contacting me if it does. I don't mind scuffs or slight scatches pending photos of said lip to show extent of damage.

I am willing to pay reasonable money for a reasonable condition lip. I am located in Sydney so can pickup if the part is also in Sydney, or will pay postage if interstate.

So if you have one lying around, or know someone who does, please contact me and we can go from there.

Cheers

What I did was buy a whole R34 GTR front bar in order to get the lip. Original plan was to take the lip off and sell the bar by itself.

Wound up finding a good condition lip seperately. Got it sanded and resprayed by TM Smash - good price and quality work - car is white.

Cheers elir32; Owgasm said in one of his threads his new one was invoiced $12xx so I was avoiding that option, but $920 is more appealing. But after completely obliterating my last one at a track day, I don't really want to put $920 down for the same thing to happen (as much as I do try to avoid coming off, sometimes shit happens :/).

nick_7g - Have been trying to get sellers to separate their painted lips but no dice. Would buy whole set up if lip was as above i.e. plastic finish. I was avoiding painting examples due to slight scuffs that might occur from tracking (chipped paint isn't the best look) but on straight plastic, it isn't as obvious. Based on your experience, did you have any trouble selling the bar by itself? Or is it best to wait for a lip on its own/someone willing to seperate from front bar?

Thanks again for both your inputs

I wound up getting the lip separetely as well as a diffuser from the same person.

I'm not sure how easy it would be to sell the bar without the lip, might be tough, but anythign sells at the right price. You have to factor everything in to the purchase price. This is how I look at it:

Buy a front bar with lip for $450 (e.g. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/408797-r34-gtr-parts-for-sale/)

Take the lip off and get it sanded and resprayed or finsihed however you like for ~$150

You could easily sell the front bar without the lip for for $200-250 (e.g. this one sold for ~$300-350 im guessing http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/379480-r34-gtr-front-bumper-bar/)

The lip winds up costing you $350-400 after the respray of the lip and resale of the front bar, which is still a lot cheaper than a new $900 one which is unpainted/unfinished. If you can sell the front bar for a bit extra, then it costs you less.

Best of luck with everything.

^^ Cheers nick_7g. Have considered this option but already have two front bars lying around - I don't really want a third haha. I'll just be patient and hope a seperate lip appears.

Still looking though if anyone has one they would like to sell.

Thanks again for your input elir32 but as above; I don't want more front bars cluttering up space. Your logic goes for your mate as well but the decision is ultimately his call. I do appreciate your help all the same.

There are a couple of these bar & lip combos floating around Sydney area so if I do go down this path, I'll keep it local to avoid postage of such a large and fragile part (guessing your mate, like yourself is from SA).

Only really considering interstate postage for the lip only.

Cheers

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
