GTST R32 M SPEC - What front lip is this?

Hi all!

I've been searching high and low trying to figure out what front lip this is. From my research so far, I've found that the lip could potentially be from a Honda Integra (DC2 or earlier) but cannot find anything that looks to be the same. I'm wanting to achieve the same look without having to opt for a GTR front lip.

Whatever front lip it is, I think it gives the perfect OEM+ look with the M-Spec skirts and rear.

Any thoughts would help! Trying to figure out what it is!

It's not really a lip. It might or might not be detachable, but it is definitely "with" that front bar, which is anything but stock. So I would not expect that lip to necessarily attach to the stock bar (neither the GTSt or GTR bars).

I would also suggest that it is not Integra. Integras are not as wide as R32s.

The lip itself appears to be inspired by the standard GTR lip or some of the slightly larger aftermarket ones like Garage Saurus, just with the openings deleted. Has similar overall shape. It's like the lip opening has been moved up into the main bar, so you still have it but the lip is cleaner. I think that makes the bar probably deeper, so the lip ends up close to the road without being a massive piece of plastic in its own right. But that car is also stupidly low and stupidly stanced out, so the proximity to the road could be an illusion.

Either way - I don't think you'll likely make the lip work on its own, if you can work out what it is.

Thanks! I've got no idea regardless. Just heard from some people that it may have been an earlier gen Honda front lip that has been modified for the Type M front bumper. Still shopping around and would like to try something else other than doing a GTR front lip install.

Sick! This is exactly what I was looking to achieve. How'd you go about installing it? What modifications we're required?

This is a dc2r lip

No modifications required. Installation is fairly easy but you have to screw the middle for it to sit where you want it

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
