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.

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.

      They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.

      Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?

      I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
