How do i remove my 1996 R33 rear wing (factory GTR style)

can someone give me a walkthrough or point me to a good thread how to remove my rear wing

i want to clean the nice green scum that has formed where the wing joins to the boot.

should be 2 bolts each side (accessed from the boot) and the it is probably stuck down with a foam pad that has glue both sides.

have you tried just spraying on exit mold? don't think it should affect the paint, but not sure.

hey, im about to do this on a series2 96, not to much info here, not much in the diy section..if any one has any tips for the clips. which way to pull from?, would be a great help..

we all know nissan clips love to snap on everything, door pillars/rear garnish.. lol., done it all.. the blinkers you remove from right to left and they do not snap, any tip on the wing?

when i do mine ill take pix and post in diy section if someone is willing to help with clip info.. :laugh:

Yes, you can do it WITH LESS CHANGE OF snapping the clips. Undo the bolts.

The spoiler is clipped in. The spoiler needs to be slided in one direction. I believe it's towards the back fo the boot. Once you ahve the spoiler off, you'll notice that once you slide it, the clip will move to a larger sectino of the elongated hole, and it'll come out.

Don't just pull it up

hey man i removed one from my s2 r33 the stock wing.

you undo the 4 bolts under the boot. then undo the electrical clip on the right hand side ( i did it after i pulled wing out).

then it is attached with 4 white coloured clips in between the bolts like so:

LHS RHS

bolt bolt

clip clip

clip clip

bolt bolt

and after you have undone the bolts there are only the plastic clips to worry about.

to remove:

STAND AT REAR OF CAR WITH 2 ARMS UNDER THE WING

DISTRIBUTE THE WEIGHT AS EVENLY AS POSSIBLE

THEN LIFT WHILE PULLING TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR

IT IS PRETTY DAMN HARD

IT WILL POP OFF

THEN YOU SIMPLY REMOVE THE 2 RUBBER GROMET PADS THAT MAKE YOUR BOOT WATERTIGHT / STOP THE BOOT GETTING SCRATCHED / VIBRATIONS

THIS IS NOT GLUED DOWN

JUST PULL OFF AND WHALLA

THE GRIME UNDERNEATH IS AMAZING ! HAHA ITS VERY DISGUSTING

any probs pm me glad to help

GTR wings have about 7 or so bolts, 4 clips, 2 on each side where the spoiler part goes towards the window where it goes thin.. just be careful but if your going to take it off cos of the clips, you need to pull it exactly where the clips are straight up but you need to use a bit of force aswell cos they might be a little stuck... When they pop it'll sound like you snapped something but you didn't...

It'll be a bit messy under there from the glue and crap... when i pulled mine gtr spoiler off it had all this gluey residue shit on it... so i put it back on and started saving pennies to get drift wing and respray boot lol

NO!!! That's wrong. Do not pop the clips out like that. You'll either break the clips, buckle the boot lid, snap the spoiler, or bend your boot lock.

The correct procedure, is you actually push the spoiler down onto the boot and shift the spoiler (I think it's towards the rear of the car). The clips will move into the larger section of the hole once the spoiler has shifted and you'll be able to lift it up.

You'll have to undo the bolts first of course.
