I've looked at this thread a few times and am considering doing it to my 33 instead of a Nismo style lip which is more expensive and I'm not really sold on.

Has anyone been running one long term? Or did everyone give up on these??

hey man, I bought my rubber lip from ebay a while ago, couldn't tell you the exact vendor but there's heaps on there

held on just using double sided tape and still going strong after 6 months through the winter, rain & highway driving

if it starts to fall off, which I don't see happening anytime soon I can always reapply double sided tape

Huh? I thought Amazon don't do anything to Australia, only to US?

A year or two ago I had to get the stuff I ordered on Amazon shipped to a specialist outside-US shipping company and then onto myself - comGateWay.

Amazon is the largest online retailer on earth - pretty sure they can post internationally.....It's a brave new world out there!

I just got confirmation yesterday that it's en route and have a tracking link, so will let you know if it makes it!

The stuff off ebay is totally different to the ones I bought lol. The ones of ebay is THICK and stiff, compare to the ones from Amazon, is soft and bendable, hence why the ebay ones would start to fall off because it's too heavy and when you drive, it fights against the wind :)

Of course Amazon send stuff to Australia, but just depends on what. You are half right though, there's a lot of stuff they don't send to Australia. But the lips isn't one of them :)

I just found a new spare roll at home, if anyone wants it for $25? PM me

Update.

Mine lasted 4 days before the stuff ripped to shreads going into a servo, it was double sided taped and screwed on.

My cars ride height from the lower part of the bumper to the groubd was 160 mm, so not overly low.

I did look good for 4 days though but served no other purpose as it was too flexible for any form of aero.

A waste of money is my official opinion.

I should have bought 6 pack with the money.

High speed runs was not the problem, I went to the drags and got a 134 mph trap speed and it held fine.

The problem is the spongy/soft rubber compond it is made from, as soon as it grounded it tore all of the RHS off and chewed out the rest, the top of it was still attached to the bumper, the lower section of it was dragging behind.

There was only about 400mm of it on the LHS that survived unscathed.

Be wary of any slightly steep driveways or inclines.

finally got around to doing mine.

Haven't seen a black 34 do it yet, so i took my chances lol. went really well, though i wish i had an aftermarket lip that I could've put on and then put this garage seal one on. looks kind of plain.

    • 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.
