You're right, I can't find the part number either. The lip came standard on the SE models in the US along with 5 lug hubs and the white face gauge cluster. You can find the lip used from time to time on the various forums up here. Who needs the lip? I'll trade you my whole bumper/fogs/lip for a Navan front bumper.
I have been meaning to update this thread. I finally installed the new Z32 front brakes and BMC. Did not do the rears yet. I'll get the pics up soon. I also got a front passenger side fender in the same colour to put on to replace the dented one. Dunno when I will get around to doing it as it requires pulling off the bumper, headlights and skirts to get the fender off.
The car is about to roll over to 190K miles. There was an oil leak that developed around the front main seal so I had to replace that. While I was there I also removed the timing chain guides so there is no more rattle can sound at idle. I have all the suspension arms and coilovers to install but I need to get a 2nd car so that I can still go to work while I have the S14 in pieces. I still refuse to take it to a mechanic.
Pics to follow. _________________

Some pics from the front brake swap:
Old set up with 9" rotors, single piston sliding calipers, rubber brake lines
New set up with 11" rotors, 4 piston calipers, braided brake lines
A comparison of the new vs old rotors
Finished product
Hands were dirty with brake fluid the rest of the time so did not get any shots of the master cylinder swap. _________________

Parked outside my apartment building earlier this spring:
The resemblance is amazing. I just have to lower my car a bit and then they will be twins. _________________

Nice brake setup!,
I saw a pic of a zenki bumper lip on a 200SX SE-R, its the only cosmetic modification i'll ever do on the b14, but not right now, sometime in the future. _________________ Feel the Power of the ![Racing Zorce](images/smiles/icon_zorce2.gif) |

so all the vanes in the rotor were rusted / broken?
what the hell happened when the caliper squeezed?

Nah they were not broken. That is just a lot of corrosion. This is what happens with winter and salt. The old ones were still solid but a bit warped so they got tossed into the dumpster. _________________

Nice. I watch James May struggling with his dog leg gearbox the other day and I was real cracking up thinking of you doing that to the HSR. Who knows, by the time I reach back, yuh house and the MG go be finish. _________________

8K front, 6K rear, 15 way adjustable.
The fronts are inverted monotube shocks - superior to the Tein twintube design. I went with the aluminum ones to save on unsprung weight. _________________

Nah, he eh see any of this yet. I was waiting for him to see it in person. His reaction would be more like a big steups followed by "Why you spending all your money on this ole car instead of buying a house?"
I did tell him that I changed the shocks and the brakes but I did not get into too much details. _________________
