for gods sake grant it is the same lip =.= had to buy a replacement for the original from nissan as the original was killed during incident with pothole. car bottomed out on the road and it tore the shit out of the lip as the car was low at the time. it also killed my steering rack and my rims, hence the works now on it. to satisfy your morbid need to harp on about the bloody lip.

my car the day i picked it up from Japcar Fawkner June 5 2009:

my car April 2011:

if it looks longer its because the old one had been bent downwards due to scraping on gutters =.=

lip was ordered via Nissan by using VIN number of the car...

Don't want to upset you but that lip on your car is not a series 3 one, found a pic in the photoshoot thread that shows the difference between the two..

Notice the difference? The series 3 one sits lower, the brake ducts a larger....

Maybe the series 3 lips came out on the 98 models only....

No...as u can see Above the car originally did come with a larger lip...sigh...

Thanks for pointing that out guys, I now cannot live with my car again.

I'm rather pedantic about these things. I didn't notice at first as I didn't have the car following that incident for a good 7 months. Guess I'm saving up another 1700 dollars that that lip cost my insurance company to buy the right one.

Awesome.

i would leave that lip, looks better than the series 3 lip because its smaller and you can lower the car more as well

in the end its a lip, yours is in gc.... is it really worth spending $1700 on a cosmetic part that isnt broken?

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
