G'day all,

I've owned my R34 GTR VSPECII for around 4 months. In this time it's taken me a while to adjust to the front bar, and lack of space available to park ANYWHERE nose in, on the basis that the extra black plastic front lip on the bottom of the bar prevents the car from hanging over a gutter or even the parking cement barriers. So I've taken the time to adjust and learn that I cannot park it far in to a car spot.

With saying that though, the process of learning this has resulted in the plastic lip gaining a couple of chips and cracks. Whilst you need to really be paying attention to notice it, I defintiely do notice..

Does anyone know where you can purchase these black lips on the front bar? I'm guessing I'm not the first to damage, and I defintiely don't want to buy an entire front bar just for the tiny black plastic lip.

Any advice would be great..

honestly unless you want to pay heaps for one out of nissan id be getting the original one fixed threw a platic repair place much cheaper...If you want something different (aftermarket) then fibreglass is the only thing you will find and trust me you dont want fibreglass lips they smash and crack where the plastic has some give and strength.

No, I have no intent to place an after-market front lip. that would be just over-kill on something that already looks nice.

I would like to purchase one none the less, as having a spare one floating around would be handy. Is there a spare part (number) that you're aware of, or anyone is aware of?

Hi,

PM me with your e-mail and I'll send you the pics of my replacement front lip & see if you can tell if it's OEM or plastic or glass?

Since taking over my car, I've had the i) lip ii) NACA Duct iii) side skirts iv) rear pods painted pearl black to match the car.

Cheers, T

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Looking at finally painting and installing my R32 GTR wing I bought back in 2018. I got two quotes: Quote 1: $880 includes: wing, spare boot, holes welded up prep/paint. Pro: full boot with wing AND hole-less boot with lip i can swap between Con: $$  Quote 2: $330 wing only. Pro: cheaper Con: lose my (relatively) rare no holes sedan boot Also to consider I do plan on painting my whole car at some point "soon" (been saying that since 2018) Anyway Enjoy these All Japan Day 2025 pictures of my 4 door, still rocking the Calsonic Livery! Rolling in Interior shot Matching Peer Pressure Racing overalls are pretty cute ngl. This year was a hard 1990 cut so I got to be over with all the older cool stuff Next to arguably the best car there. A mighty S-Cargo

      I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.

      Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
