It's plastic and I believe the same material as the rest of the bar, but it has a different surface finish (rough/textured) compared with the main body.

Thanks

yea it does look like a different surface finish, rough than the rest of the bar..

I had my bar off and also separated the lip - from the rear they looked to be made of the same grey plastic.

You could try a PM to 'ocean' on these forums. He bought a spare lip I had with a couple of cracks at the mounting points and was going to have it plastic welded, so he might know what it's actually made of.

Cool il give that a go Steve, i have a aftermarket gtr front bar and the bottom lip is made of the same material as the bar (fibreglass) as the car is gunmetal grey the lip looks good sprayed the same colour as the car. But im wondering if you can buy a genuine lip in the black colour as i prefer it that way.

What is a genuine front bar worth and who has them?

Heaps, at a guess (new anyway). I was told a new lip alone was $400 or so. If you want to find out for yourself, these are the part numbers to quote to Nissan:

Front bar (cover) - 62022-05U27

Lower Lip - 96015-05U00

Of course these will also be unpainted......

Front bar (cover) - 62022-05U27 700+ for a good one

Lower Lip - 96015-05U00 and as steve says 400 for a new one

From the factory, all R32 GTRs should come with the same grey plastic lip (unpainted). This includes the black, white, red and silver ones.

I reckon this is to:

1. Match the mud guards (same plastic)

2. Allow you to scrape the lip on speed bumps and not have spider cracks appear all over the painted lip.

Speaking of GTR front bars,

Does anyone know if a R32 GTS-T front bar fits on a R32 GTR?

I quite like this bar

VG Skyline GTS-T 32 (JR)style complete kit

but never seen it for a GTR before, it looks similar to TARGET front bars.

I know that the GTR has wider guards but would it affect the front bar?

thanks.

They have a Ad in the latest Drift Battle Magazine, They are in S.A.

so no one knows? I'd prefer to ask someone that's had experience and knows if it will fit or not rather than asking a supplier(90% of the time they will just say, of course it will fit without knowing just to get the sale).

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
