Need your opinions guys!

Have researched this topics and this is what has led me to this.

Am looking for a front lip for my R34 GTT Skyline with the stock bar.

I believe you can get the V Spec style lip for GTT's from East Bear? However it's discontinued on Nengun. Is there anywhere else I can get this?

Other options are below as follow:

Will the front lip from the Nismo bar (from vivagarage) fit the stock bar? Even with some modifying, or are the bars to fit onto simply to different?

Other option is the Uras/D1 style front lip, also from vivagarage:

Anybody have any issues/opinions on the above lip, specifically regarding fitment/install? I believe several forum members have fitted these style lips, however all the threads I spotted them in were several years old and I didn't want to go thread reviving.

Would obviously prefer something more like the V Spec lip, however am welcome to any advice!

Thanks.

Rhino Lip is the cheapest option and survives the curb rash: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367338-diy-universal-lip/?p=7167621

Mine is starting to get a little ragged now after two years but will last another year at least. Hard lip would have been long gone by now with them bloody speed bumps.

Obviously it does little for actual aero but I'm not sure a hard lip does that much either...

The series 1 bumper with the silver lip looks great! Not keen on the black part underneath though

Just a matter of finding one now! So difficult to find. Was hoping i'd be able to modify an OEM GTR one or the Viva Garage lip that fits the Nismo bar. So far, unsure!

  • 4 weeks later...

Just installed a viva garage D1 / uras copy lip this weekend on my 34, fit perfectly, was pleasantly surprised actually, was expecting the worst but turned out nice!

Glad you let me know as I'm about to buy one in the next week or so! Did you paint it? If so, how did you do it & what colour? Any photos? Pleased it fit properly, was worried about potential fitment!

    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
