What car is this from? I think it looks a bit chunky on the sides but overall a good attempt because yea lips aren't easy to come by for R32s. Try sourcing some Type-M or the stock aero skirts for your coupe, it'll suit the lip better.

I personally say take it off. It just looks 'cheap' and not suitable. I know how bad you want one of these fucckasss mate...I wanted one for my R33 GTS-T a few months back too. There's two things you can do mate...

1. Ring up Nissan Australia and order a genuine R32 GTR front bar diffuser (lip) and affix that to your front bar, but it won't be cheap and will take around 2 months to get here.

2. Buy a replica GTR front bar and saw the lip section off and then buy yourself a carbon fiber wrap roll and wrap the whole bottom lip in carbon fiber and then screw it back on as separate piece...would look sexy as...a few people have done this before and I've seen one in real life - it looked tough.

So there you have it mate. Good luck.

PS: Notice how I didn't suggest you get a genuine R32 front bar...this is because you'll need R32 front guards or it'll look weird plus it would be like $2,500 plus postage to get over here then there's the front guards issue...so hence, not a smart thing to do.

i like the fat look of the vertex, replica gtr bars are still pretty hard to find. i dont want to goto carmate as ive heard that their quality isnt as good as it could be for the price being paid. maybe ill take a look into another type of front bar

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
