GTR R33 S3 - Front Lip & Parts


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I'm just wondering where's a good place to buy the front lip for a S3 GTR R33, This ones cracked & wondering what options I have ? Can you buy just the front lip or can I buy a used front Bar from S2 or S1 R33?? How much should I be paying?

Also I am after the NISMO "GT-R" Carbon rear wing end plates that go on the rear spoiler, any place other than justjap.

You can get a genuine Nissan S3 lip from Nissan for $1500 (yes - just the lip) - or a fibreglass one from UAS (http://www.uniqueautosports.com.au) for about $300.

I got the FG one. Needed quite a bit of work to clean up and fit - but looks excellent when done. Much tougher than S2 lip. Cost me $350 to fit and paint (Aero-image in Sunshine - did a great job)

Looks better in the flash - but you get the idea...

Jamezilla - I rang'em they wanted $390 just for the lip. There website says $295 WTF!! You sure you bought it for $300 from unique. Any way your car is as we say "looking more & more shhh-poondeen" Thought I prefer the stock look, your's does look amazing.

Thanks guys for ya help

It cost me about $390 shipped to Melb, and then a further $350 to fit and paint. Actual part was $295. Pretty expensive for just the front lip :)

Nissan one (advertised on UAS for $950) is actually $1500. Fits much better, is plastic - but still needs paint.

Cheers for the notes about the car :)

S3 lip really helps the look. So much meaner. Surprised more people haven't done it. Wheels & exhaust are only mods. Stock colour, trim, body - is a VSpec.

Looks low in the 2nd pic as I had just hit a pothole and busted my shocks :) Here is is in 'speedboat' mode.

Note too that the aftermarket lip has no centre vanes in the brake ducts and doesn't fit the S2 brake air guides. No biggie - but FYI.

Sold OEM lip for $200 as well :)

    • Define "Nissan big brakes". You just mean standard R34 4 pots? And...it's not even the offset you need to worry about. It's really a detail of how much clearance there is between the caliper and the back of the spoke/face, which is affected more by the design of the spoke than it is by the offset. If you think about it....take any wheel, say a 19x8 that does fit and clears the caliper. Then add or subtract an inch of wheel on the outside, without changing anything else. You have changed the offset by half an inch, but not changed the clearance situation at all. Same for if you add or subtract an inch from the inside edge. The way for you to work this out is to take a wheel off the car, grab a straight edge and a ruler or two, and start to measure the distances from the wheel mounting face on the hub to the outer face of the caliper, and the outer diameter (that faces the barrel of the wheel) of the caliper. Armed with these dimensions and any other measurement that grabs your fancy while you are there, you can then go to the seller of the wheels and do the reverse measurements from the wheel's mounting face and see if there will be clearance to the caliper. There really should be. I have 17x8 RPF1s +35 clearing the caliper face by a finger tip. Those wheels do have pretty thin spokes with some curvature.... but then so do most wheels to suit Jap cars.
    • So I’ve got a r34 sedan that I managed to get green stickered, meaning I need to go through government approved wof station for my car to be allowed back on the road for some reason my car is certed for 19x8 rims.. I need these wheels  does anyone know what offset will be fine to clear Nissan big brakes? I saw 35et for sale near me, I can’t drive the car to test fit or risk being fined ..   I searched heaps online couldn’t find anywhere..
