Gtr front bar question

[godzla32]

Guys curious to know what material the front lip on a genuine gtr front bar is made out of? To me it looks different to the bar?

[SteveL]

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.

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......

No it will come as grey plastic - painting is extra.

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.

2GU UP 2 was going to get a C/F one made up, but I haven't heard from him if he had it done in the end... I was keen on one but it is not as compliant as the plastic one and resistant to grounding out...

My lower section is the same colour as the car, need to remoeber not to park too close to the gutters though!

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).
