does any1 have pics with no wing at all on a r33? would it look ok with a black boot and the rest of my cars the maroon colour but a bit darker resprayed. im thinking il just get the holes welded and paint the boot black but dont want it to be shit. id do it the same colour but dont wanna pay to get the colour matched and the rest blended coz im getting a full respray later on and it shud only cost me about 50 bux to get it done black. shud i do gloss or matt black?

My car is currently wingless too... looks plush and elegant but less sporty...

what you do is get it welded like I did, then go to Supercheap Auto - buy a matching (best suited) spraycan then spray it... then get it waxed... should look ok... have it wingless, don't get a ugly-arse stealth wing... makes it look more pussy...

Good luck mate...

I take some pics soon and will share it with you.

Personly i think any skyline with the wing removed looks shit , and espicially those people that take them off and just put tape over the holes !!

and on the 33's taking the wing off looks like crap IMO because u are left with the rear guards having a bit poking up where the boot is and looks like somthing is missing.

but dont get me wrong if done right it can look half decent but out of 100 i have seen with out the wing 99.99999999999999999 look shit , to me :D

It does look a bit weird without a wing from the back, but from the side and front it looks good... my wing is off at the moment but i'm trying to think wether to get a drift wing or leave it as it without one and get the holes welded up... looks heaps different compared to the GTR wing i had..

obviously people are all gonna react differently to this wing or no wing issue. I'm just saying imo without wing it looks like its missing something. Maybe the new owner liked the look, or maybe he didn't care because he can always put a wing on and the fact the car is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO well kept probably helped the sale.

Yeah i think this is something you can't say wether its bad or good it really depends on the car itself, there's this nice black 33 that goes round my area with no wing at all but the boot is flush with the sides and it looks sooooo nice, but personally i dont think you can go wrong with a GTR wing :)

I took my GTR wing off cos it looks out of place on a gtst with no body kit... but they look unreal on a actual GTR... the wing is just too big for a gtst

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
