Could it be a dirty fuel filter/dirty injectors Branko ??

Changed the fuel filter, don't know about the injectors though.

I just drove the car around and its a bit better than yesterday, but not by much. The car is basically misfiring at below 3000rpm, this is most noticeable when the car is cruising in 4th, just it doesn't so much as "cruise" as begin imitating a WRX misfiring continuously until you hit over 3000 rpm

Perhaps get someone like Petroject to clean the injectors.

Sounds like you're replaced everything else in-line, apart from the Fuel Pump Relay. If the relay was intermittent, you'd get symptoms like this.

Very easy to swap in another pump relay to test.

Well... here is something rather disturbing about the car, see the thing is there is no Relay 30, its been bypassed and even without relay 36 the car still manages to run

I'm gonna have a guess and say MAF. Have you tried disconnecting it when the car is running? That's how I diagnosed mine (it ran better when I disconnected it when it was running). Good luck.
