Firstly, it is impossible to get the original finish back. The only way to repair a front lip is to repair it via the method you spoke of (plastic welding) and then to prime and paint it.

I have been through this before. Painting is your only option. It is impossible to match that 'elephant scrotum' finish that is on the front lips from factory.

I have a MIDORI carbon fibre fron lower lip but it was damaged and repaired. It has to be primed and painted, but at the moment it is bogged and you can still see the carbon. I think they are about $1100 so you can have it for $400 if you want.

Oh yeah, also, Joe you are mistaken. Last time i checked with a genuine nissan dealer, a brand new genuine front lower lip for a BNR32 GTR was about $830, not the $490 that you claim.

PM me if interested.

BNR32, I have had this sort of repair done in Sydney. They can recoat the bar in a plastic finish that is actually heated onto the plastic after it has been plastic welded. The finish is as good as new and will not peel like paint will (and yes they can match the original black/grey colour)and the cost to do it is very reasonable. Nothing is impossible, you just need to know the right people.

The price for the lower lip is accurate as I've just bought one through nissan. The trick is to go to your local smash repairer and get them to order it in for you. They get a discount from nissan and you give them a case of crownies for there efforts. $830 for the lower lip is a bit overboard. I was quoted $560 to buy it over the counter, I think you should check again on that one.

My bar got repaired once and resprayed then damaged it again, this time the damage was a bit more serious then a scratch, so i decided to get different style front bar altogether

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
