LOL, i just tried to take mine off so that i can clean under it, there is so much shit there. Unfortunatly, no good, so someone shed some light. I simply used a soft bristle brush to get under it to clean it, but still scratched the paint work, spent the last hour trying to polish it all out. DAM SOFT NISSAN PAINT.

think Mr_G knows how to do it.

Im pretty sure there are two other bolts that needs to be removed..

Well hes done it just recently on another s2, and his old 33 ages ago..

Hopefully he reads this thread.

thanks guys for no help lol cept for siddr20 lol ... i got it offf

ne one who wants to know how its just the 4 bolts explained at start of the thread then stand behind the car 2 arms under the wing and slowly ease your bodyweight onto the wing in an upward direction and the strong japanese christmas tree clips will eventually pop and off comes the wing ne one needing help PM me.. but that summs it up :(

after all bolts are undone it still might be sikaflexed on best way to check is get some fishing line and go underneath where its still attached to the car this should cut through the sikaflex... thats all i can offer hope that helps

hey, sorry to open this old thread. Just taken mine off, whats the best way about filling the holes how have u filled them in? who did u take it too

panel beater to weld in some circles to close the gaps, then file it back, small layer of filler to ensure smooth, prime boot and repaint.

Hi,

I have currently purchased a GTR wing...and noticed there are 3 bolts on the under side of the wing.

So previously having a s2 wing there are no holes for wing. Ive been reffered to drill some holes in the boot to mount, just wondering if this is the best idea, or get rid of 1 or 2 bolts so not so many holes need to be drilled, and painting the edge cuttings (underneath or on top of the boot?)

And if anyone can tell me the size nut i need off the top of their head, cheers.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
