Recent picture of mine with the BLITZ LM cooler done in black and the GTR lip in a gloss

Don't really like the lip - what you guys think?

I want to do it in a different colour or maybe even go back to silver

Anways sits so high on 18s so got rid of them, going back to some 17 x 9s and going to slam it to the ground again :thumbsup:

Thanks for that man

Yeah was considering getting ADVANS again but very hard to find a decent set, I almost bought a set last night then later realised they were 4 stud :shy:

Going to some R33 GTR rims for a while, 17 x 9 so should drive/handle pretty good - only problem is I can't decide weather to do them, black or white?

Any thoughts from anyone?

Yeah I don't know about this lip man, I think I will pull it off tonight and sand it back and repaint it again - I just can't get the right look with this thing!

hey champ.Looks alirght paint the spoiler.My car has 19s n its on the ground.So is my mates n his's a gts-t too.I think ur problem is the width n offset thats maybe a cause to your non lowness if ya know what i mean

Black rims ftw, will match your matte black lip then

Yeah thinking black man, doing my calipers black soon too with the 'NISSAN' in white but pretty certain that I'm going to go back to the silver lip

Go back to the silver lip, abu. Looks better in my opinion. So did you end up getting the 33 GTR wheels?

Yeah thinking silver lip now man, old photos are changing my mind

Yeh widths and offsets were the issue thats why I couldn't go any lower

Changing that now, gone to 17 x 9 rims and going to slam it to the floor - now I just need to decide what color to do the rims, black, white, gunmetal or leave it silver

Old picture of how the car looked with the silver lip, no cooler there though and obviously different wheels before - love the way it looked!! Not so happy with the way it looks at the moment :)

Abu: I think.. same colour lip and slam it would look good mate and 33GTR wheels would look good on ur mate..

here my 32 with 33GTR wheels..

Thanks for that man

Yeah I thinking about painting the lip silver again and slamming it on the R33 GTR wheels in the same colour, standard silver

If it doesn't look too good I will powder coat them black but will see how they look with the black lip first

EDIT: Taking the lip off tomorrow, its getting done in silver on Thursday!!

I could have got my lower lip colour matched to my car but i think it looks tuffer when its matte black and the car is white or silver... any other colour lip should be matched i reckon... just my 2 cents

Hey Abu, shame the wheels don't suit your liking....I think R33 GT-R wheels will look the bomb. You're more than welcome to trial fit mine if you like :D

I was thinking of powdercoating my wheels black again but need some more dough and don't know if it will suit so great - standard silver is really good.

In regards to your lip i would prefer it black, even though color matching gives it that lower appeal.

BTW got the N1 lip on my car....Now i need to take some new photos :)

All the best,

Steve.

Hey Steve

N1 lip hey, I'm keen to see what that looks like - I was considering getting one just today but don't know if it will suit my car

Yep the lip in black looks tuff, matches my cooler - I got that powder coated in black as well, looks tuff but I reckon the lip in silver looked way better and neater

Anyways taking the lip off tomorrow and its getting painted Thursday, wheels probably won't be here till early next wee so I won't be able to make a decision till then

For the moment I will leave them silver just to see how it looks but I'm really considering doing them in black after the car gets tuned

Anyways get some pictures up of the new N1 lip so I can decide weather to get one or not! ;)

    • Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years. 
    • Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it
    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
