that is the right stuff as stated a couple of pages back and 9 foot is plenty enough to do the front bar

looks good but i can tell you it wont last long..

It has no problem lasting if applied right and if you don't scrape it, but then if you scrape a fibreglass one, it can smash aswell.

Anyway, due to interests, I'll put up another group buy soon :)

After having mine on for about 3 months now, I'm now trying to think of a longer term solution. This stuff looks good when it's first applied, but mine is looking in pretty perilous condition now. Cracks everywhere, shows up dirt very easily, and just doesn't want to stay stuck on (though that's an issue with my front bar not having enough surface area).

But having had the lip now and seeing how much better it makes my car look, I don't want to take it off :( Need to think of a way to attach it better I think...

I honestly think this lip can be a long term solution if applied right.

I mean, to get it ripped off, you'd have to badly scrape a driveway, and even if you have a fibreglass lip, that thing would shatter anyway.

$25 lip vs $200-300 fibreglass lip...

I've looked at this thread a few times and am considering doing it to my 33 instead of a Nismo style lip which is more expensive and I'm not really sold on.

Has anyone been running one long term? Or did everyone give up on these??

I've had my rear ones on my car since i started this thread, don't have a problem at all. But the front, it got ripped off when i drove down a deep drive way lol (but i guess it woulda been worse if it was a fibreglass lip).

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
