No...as u can see Above the car originally did come with a larger lip...sigh...

Thanks for pointing that out guys, I now cannot live with my car again.

I'm rather pedantic about these things. I didn't notice at first as I didn't have the car following that incident for a good 7 months. Guess I'm saving up another 1700 dollars that that lip cost my insurance company to buy the right one.

Awesome.

Cassandra, I didn't in any way want to offend you, just thought I'd point it out in case you didn't know the difference.

I'd be getting the right lip for your car at the insurance company's expense, not yours...

Either way nice looking car, but personally feel it would look better with the series 3 lip. But be careful, they are easily damaged, I know as I have one and am very careful entering and exiting driveways....

Good luck with it all....

:cheers:

the car is 4wd height currently due to vicpol and needs exhaust overhaul for that reason, which will also happen. I remember what they were like lol but the car was lowered at that point too.

No offence taken but as u well know urself Jack- all the shit that comes with that car is a massive pain in the ass. I'm in a bit of a dilemma with that as I don't want the workshop I went to to get in trouble for somethinG that is nissan's fault. So I've just emailed Jesse streeter to see if anything can be done for less than Nissan aus' price.

Nick - the mere fact that I get asked web people see it if it's 'really a series 3?' is enough reason to need to get te right part... It'd be like putting an evo 7 hood on an evo 8 and have people say is that REALLY an evo 8? Lol

lol you would be surprised how many ppl put evo 9 parts on 7's and 8's

and all the time i get asked if my car is a real evo lol

i would leave that lip, looks better than the series 3 lip because its smaller and you can lower the car more as well

in the end its a lip, yours is in gc.... is it really worth spending $1700 on a cosmetic part that isnt broken?

this is common sense. i like.

Hey Cass, I found this for sale :P

R33 GTR Series 3 Front Bar & Lip

that thing is a rip off i mean its obviously cheaper than the lip alone but the condition looks crap seen better ones for the same / less

Gonna apologize to Grant at any point? I think this is the second time I've read you have a bit of a go at him for questioning the lip on your car.....

fair point.

imo id leave it slam the car and forget about it, will look tits slammed

I have a shit driveway due to apartment building...can still have correct lip and drop it again and be able to get in though. I'm a stickler for everything a out the car being right or I lose my cool somewhat badly and obsess over the thing that's wrong :P

yes, the questions bother me as u can see above. The car shouldn't have to defend it's honor constantly because Nissan can't order the right bloody part...

And I believe I've admitted to him being right, that's moreo f an apology than he'd get from most guys...but ok, yeah I'm sorry for losing my temper but his need to harp on about how ts wrong pisses me off about as much as it's being wrong does.

I wouldn't have a clue how much it's worth lol, I just thought I'd post it up for Cass :P

    • Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I dried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4     I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the casing. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I overcome one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....
    • AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
