hey guys just after some advice,

I do not like looking at that MASSIVE Factory nismo spoiler on my r34 gtt coupe (the wrap over) :rolleyes:

Been thinking of removing the thing... does anyone have any advice?

Cost, level of work and maybe a place that does it?

cheers

there are a lot of bolt holes if you remove the spoiler, I asked around about welding and leveling the holes, quite expensive.. I think asking over $1k

Ohh mann.. what the hell is with these japs and massive spoilers!! loll there i was thinking wen i bought it ohh yehh its not a big deal it'll pop off

cheers, anyone else please?

that's a load of crap, over $1k my arse.

But look, the reality is you will have to get the holes welded again then the whole boot will have to be repainted.

Here's the drill - to repain whole boot you will be looking at at least $300.00, welding should cost around $100.

Without further details on whether you want to go wingless or install another wing - I can only assume you will go wingless - if this is the case, then you you will be looking at around $500.00 max for this exercise.

On the other hand, if you want another wing - then of course you will have to buy one (price depends on the wing) then get it professional painted which will be another $250 or so, so yeah.... that's it in a nutshell.

Actually, talking about the R34 Nismo wing... I actually have it on my r33... I have a drift wing on it, then a bit further in, I got this wing without the wrap-around, looks aggressive as.

I would suggest that you take the wrap-around off and just leave the wing on it's on free-standing - looks aggressive as - but yeah, I would also move it in a bit, it's sticking too much towards the end of the boot which makes it look awkard.

good luck.

HAHAA yeah i heard that once from someone!

Yeh well sounds like the side things will have to go, would repainting cost a fair bit for the rear sides? how much would i need to paint there?

Bro, if you shop around you should be able to do this under $800.00. You gotta shop around bro.

Good luck.

i removed my wing

got small plugs to fill the holes

cheap and effective

wing on

wing off

wing on

wing off

Are we talking about the same wing here?

Coz the R34 altia wing or nismo wing has about 7 gaping holes on the rear quarter panels where the corner parts of the wing are fixed...

ADZR34: I was thinking exactly the same when I bought my car... not a problem, I'll just take off the corner parts when I get home. Man did I get a rude shock!

The best quote I've got so far is $600 to take the corners off, $900 if I wanted the centre piece off aswell. That's to weld the holes shut & repaint the whole area. I'd have had it done already if not for getting my rims, & Intercooler first etc.

The scary thing is, the wing is actually starting to grow on me lol I'd better get it done soon before i start liking it.

Everyone at my work had the same reaction, they thought it was hideous but now they like it :)

A R34 Nismo Wing on a R33 (with a drift-wing to cover up edges and sides) looks aweful - if you see one around, that's mine... as no one has this look beside me...

Can you post a pic of your 33? Interested to see it...

lol I got the bastard off eventually, just left 7 Humongous holes in the quarter panels.

Spoiler part on the boot should use the same bolt holes. Car companies like to make interchangeable parts to save money

Quote was from extreme bodykits in Wetherill Park Sydney, $600 for just the quarter panels. $900 to remove the spoiler aswell altogether.

Although he did the bodykit on my old R33 so he gave me a better price than usual.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
