Hey guys,

I am looking for a genuine R34 GTR oem plastic lip as pictured below.

It must not have any splits or fractures, so don't bother posting or contacting me if it does. I don't mind scuffs or slight scatches pending photos of said lip to show extent of damage.

I am willing to pay reasonable money for a reasonable condition lip. I am located in Sydney so can pickup if the part is also in Sydney, or will pay postage if interstate.

So if you have one lying around, or know someone who does, please contact me and we can go from there.

Cheers

What I did was buy a whole R34 GTR front bar in order to get the lip. Original plan was to take the lip off and sell the bar by itself.

Wound up finding a good condition lip seperately. Got it sanded and resprayed by TM Smash - good price and quality work - car is white.

Cheers elir32; Owgasm said in one of his threads his new one was invoiced $12xx so I was avoiding that option, but $920 is more appealing. But after completely obliterating my last one at a track day, I don't really want to put $920 down for the same thing to happen (as much as I do try to avoid coming off, sometimes shit happens :/).

nick_7g - Have been trying to get sellers to separate their painted lips but no dice. Would buy whole set up if lip was as above i.e. plastic finish. I was avoiding painting examples due to slight scuffs that might occur from tracking (chipped paint isn't the best look) but on straight plastic, it isn't as obvious. Based on your experience, did you have any trouble selling the bar by itself? Or is it best to wait for a lip on its own/someone willing to seperate from front bar?

Thanks again for both your inputs

I wound up getting the lip separetely as well as a diffuser from the same person.

I'm not sure how easy it would be to sell the bar without the lip, might be tough, but anythign sells at the right price. You have to factor everything in to the purchase price. This is how I look at it:

Buy a front bar with lip for $450 (e.g. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/408797-r34-gtr-parts-for-sale/)

Take the lip off and get it sanded and resprayed or finsihed however you like for ~$150

You could easily sell the front bar without the lip for for $200-250 (e.g. this one sold for ~$300-350 im guessing http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/379480-r34-gtr-front-bumper-bar/)

The lip winds up costing you $350-400 after the respray of the lip and resale of the front bar, which is still a lot cheaper than a new $900 one which is unpainted/unfinished. If you can sell the front bar for a bit extra, then it costs you less.

Best of luck with everything.

^^ Cheers nick_7g. Have considered this option but already have two front bars lying around - I don't really want a third haha. I'll just be patient and hope a seperate lip appears.

Still looking though if anyone has one they would like to sell.

Thanks again for your input elir32 but as above; I don't want more front bars cluttering up space. Your logic goes for your mate as well but the decision is ultimately his call. I do appreciate your help all the same.

There are a couple of these bar & lip combos floating around Sydney area so if I do go down this path, I'll keep it local to avoid postage of such a large and fragile part (guessing your mate, like yourself is from SA).

Only really considering interstate postage for the lip only.

Cheers

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
