lwells Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hi All, I am really getting the sh!ts with the undertray on my R32 GT-R. It looks horrible, it barely holds on, and I reakon one decent knock or rock would tear it off its mounts. I assume Nissan charges a bomb for this (I'll check tomorrow) -- and besides, I don't think the stock material (ie. plastic) is very good -- so is anyone aware of an aftermarket alternative? I have seen plenty of aluminium options for other Nissans and makes, and Topstage even makes a lower lip/undertray in one for the R32 GT-R, but its considerably lower than the OEM item, looks a bit silly (personal opinion), and I already have trouble with driveways... There are quite a few floating around on Yahoo Japan. For example: http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k19019281 http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r17186260 http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k31197219 http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n35274365 I'm really not that fussed with the supposed aero benefits, I just want something that isn't a complete eyesore and pain in the arse to get on and off. Surely some enterprising local shop has made a replacement (and, even better, a replacement lower lip as well)? Cheers, Lucien.

How does it look silly? I doubt u could actually see the undertray itself? Unless you mean the lip is too low and looks funny compared to the ground clearance of the rest of the car? How do you know topstage makes em? Did you enquire? Not many products on their site for lines heh Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/115686-r32-gt-r-undertray/#findComment-2168735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jantolis Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Mine came undone today. Was driving home from uni and heard a noise that sounded like something was rubbing against the guards or something. Took me half the way home to find out it was the undertray. Just put some wire to hold it up for now. probably fix it on the weekend. Those undertrays look heaps nice from ebay. How much are they???

Not many products on their site for lines heh I know Topstage makes them because he has advertised them on here (there is also someone selling one they bought from Topstage at the moment); he's made version for various cars for ages and advertises on NissanSilvia. Search in the for sale section (sorry, CBF'ed ATM to find his thread). As I said before, the Topstage unit is a lip and undertray in one. The lip is considerably lower than the OEM one (something like 20-30mm), and in my humble opinion (and its only *my* opinion; this isn't a comment on the quality of the work or an attack on people wanting/liking the Topstage lip) looks silly because its so much lower than the rest of the car (and, again as I mentioned, I already have issues with scraping the lip on driveways at stock height).

blind_elk Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 AFAIK, it's not a stone guard. My experience suggests it is purely to assist with airflow under the car which assists with airflow through the radiator.

My experience suggests it is purely to assist with airflow under the car which assists with airflow through the radiator. I'm sure its designed for that as well, but remember it also protects all the belts (fan, aircon, etc) and other bits and pieces. Its obviously not going to stop a brick, but it will stop road gravel getting in easily. Either way, it needs replacing.

Yes, they look very nice. I will be in Japan in about a fortnight and I am tempted to buy one and try and cart it back somehow (wonder if it will pass as hand luggage? ). I'm still suprised that noone locally has made one or a replacement lip.... Whilst the overall market might not be huge, about every second R32 I've seen needs one I've been meaning to contact Nissan for prices on a bunch of parts, but my computer is being a bastard so FAST isn't working. Just waiting to borrow the family laptop when I have a few minutes....

benm Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 The 2nd last 1 does look the goods. My undertray is in quite good condition however it would be great 1 day to replace it all with something nicer.

Topaz Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Just found this thread an I am in the same boat, my undertray is hanging off at hte back and I'd like a replacement if possible. Anyone end up getting one of these from ebay? How much are they from Nissan? Do any other shops like Topstage stock them now?

Waxhead Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) Richard, This is the part number for the OEM Nissan engine under tray. I am pretty sure it looks like this. i just ordered a new one from Nissan for $185, so 8000 yen is a very good deal Edited November 30, 2012 by Waxhead Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/115686-r32-gt-r-undertray/#findComment-6650093 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinista32 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Thanks - will consider ordering one.. BTW next time you see Steve would you like to ask for an ETA on that other thing ?
