R34 Gtr Lower Lip

[Four - Twelve]

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

Bump, now considering painted lips (but still oem i.e. not carbon or fibreglass). Still no splits, cracks, fractures, structural damage of any sort.

$920 brand new from nissan.. good luck mate

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

[nick_7g]

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.

Would you be remotely interested in a CF lip? I might be able to get one in from my group buy.

^^ Probably not at this stage. I want to avoid materials that shatter on impact. But cheers for the consideration. Pm sent regarding another CF piece.

bump, still hoping one of these is floating around

[elir32]

Have a mate with a bar and lip together for 600-he doesn't wana separate- I think u won't have a lot of trouble selling a bar separate...

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
