Hi guys 

My car is going for a re spray in couple of weeks ,glass out job ,I bought all the trims and rubbers to go with it.

i have N1 ducts in the front bumper that has a few chips on the paint and needs to come out to be painted.

my question is are they easy to remove and put back (by the painter) or am I better of buying new ones?

Thanks

$750 each ? Or a pair either way I think I'm going to get back into and start up and injection molding business for Nissan parts !

ABS will do the job fine

definitely a market for it.
Just finding quality parts to copy will be hard but if you do I'll take one of these

You should, Start taking parts off and copy them 

What like I used to do ?

Like make exact reproduction parts for Skylines ?

Developed with better plastics that would never wear out ?

Like gear knobs

And discontinued wheel caps 

Vents / hand brake handles / and other high wear parts for Skylines !

Which I've still got all the development processes and molds for !

Nah what for ?

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
