Finally Got Rid Of Shopping Trolley Wing

Hey guys,

My R34 came from Japan with the optional Altia aero wing (aka MASSIVE SHOPPING TROLLEY WING). It was the only thing I didn't like about the car, didn't realise what a pain in the ass it would be to have removed at the time...

Anyway, just thought I'd share some before and after photos.

I was originally going to go wingless which is nice, but seemed too "sedan-like" and plain to me.

I love how it looks now, but just wanted to see what others think ;)

All that's left to do now is fix up the 7 bolt holes left in the rear quarters by the old wing :domokun:

Cheers! :)

Shopping trolley wing in all it's glory...

yeap, genuine plastic and proper grills on the bottom half, exxy to replace I'd imagine

Looks great with new wing fitted, that high wing was an absolute abortion :laugh:

:laughing-smiley-014:

The wingless look is ok, what spoils it majorly is the scratches/holes on the rear of the boot... and to paint that will cost you a few hundred easy, maybe half a grand so just leave that little wing on if money is an issue.

Funnily enough, even though I'm paying off 2 cars money isn't an issue as I still live at home. It's just finding the spare time off work to get it done :) I drive a company car to work and back so not really an issue to get it done straight away

Thanks everyone!

off topic, but on topic sorta. Which car do you prefer? the Z or the 34. Obviously they will both have good and bad, but what honestly do you like more?

Honestly, I like them equally, but for different reasons

My R34, being modified, has that distinct 'tuner' feel to it that makes it so addictive to drive, it's rough around the edges but is an absolute machine to drive (as you'd probably know :) )

The Z has a very refined finish being a newer car, it's fast, but makes it's power in a different way, almost V8 like... even when you're gunning it it doesn't feel as "fast" because the motor is effortless and has a great chassis. Actually draws less attention, people tend to snob me when I drive in the Z :D where I'll find people will wave or beep when I drive in the skyline.

I know I'll have to get rid of one or the other at some point when I bite the bullet and buy a house. Maybe sell both and buy a v36 skyline when they're available to import? updated looks and performance of the Z with a backseat for a future family someday?

It looks much better than the trolley wing but for some reason it doesn't suit the rest of your body, but is definitly a step up.

Wingless without dumping looks weird, it sits too high imo.

Looks good though :P

All I can say is, THAT'S A MUCH MUCH BETTER LOOK WITHOUT THE OLD WING. haha :P Good change. Wingless looks kinda funny as well, not sure why though, but good move. Looks much better. :happy:

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?

      Sorry, I wasn't very clear.....just that the standard injectors are apparently good over 600rwhp/450rwkw which you won't get to on standard turbos anyway.....they are much better sized from factory than we are used to in RBs.
