Diy Universal Lip


Recommended Posts

Charles, you have inspired me, i think i might give this a go lol,

Nice job on yours too Pauly

Haha nice :P

But all in all, this $25 garage door seal does give a total new look to the car, it just makes it look a lot more tougher, although the lip itself is pretty thin, but it does make a massive difference. Will probably get better pics sometime next week :)

it does look really nice though but I don't think I could pull that off on the Do Luck kit thats going on the R32 in the next few weeks. I guess I will wait and see with the do luck kit and see if there is any way it can work with it.

Where are you getting that from? I can't find any except on carmate, but theirs looks funny.

Mine was sent up to brisbane from a place in Sydney but it took forever due to issues beyond the control of the place I ordered it from. I would look into DMD as I have heard good things about their kits and they will post as well. This was for a R32 not a R34 (which I am guessing you drive judging by your info on the left). If I remember correctly the old DMD R34 ran a Do Luck kit.

Oh yeh, it's not for my car lol. It's for a mates car, he has a 32. We have been looking for awhile but most places are ridiculously expensive and carmate have a different one which looks strange.

Thanks mate :)

how long did this take to arrive by the way? I'm not really keen to pay $50 to get express postage, but I am trying to get my car ready for a magazine shoot on the 26th, if it's going to take 16 days to get here then I'll have to pay the express.

getting some this week, thankyou Charles, been looking for something like this.

Isn't your car low enough with that Z-tune lip? :P

this has to be one of-if not the best- cosmetic backyard mod ive ever seen! well done charles

Haha cheeers

I wonder if this would work on my car.. :unsure:

It does say "universal".... :P

FYI folks, bunnings does not sell this product or anything like it

Haha yeah, I tried bunnings too xD

No, but Clark Rubber does :thumbsup:

I had a browse in their catalogue, didn't see anything close to what I want. They must have more at the stores?

Any chance they are called Baileys Channel? lol

It's like the garden type edging for the 31 front lip , Charles has modernized it for a 34 :) and has done a great job in doin so. Expect to see more of this on the road :thumbsup:

Because of the colour of the seal, it isn't very noticable on the car, but it does give it a whole new different look :)

    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.  
    • so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?
    • That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
