what did u pay for the new wing?

bought off a forum member for $350

if you dont mind me asking, how much did it cost you to repair the guards?

Not repaired yet, cheapest quote I've gotten so far from a panel-beater is for $1400. That's to weld up some metal plates to the inside of the boot, then puttying up the holes properly and blending the paintwork from the roof so no-one can tell there was ever that abomination of a wing.

I can probably get a simple bog and spray job done for $600, but in the long run it always ends up looking shit down the track and have to be re-done anyway

Just want a proper job done first time, between work and TAFE just no free time to get it done :ninja: !

like I said I can get a rush job done and have it look like sh*t down the track,

That quote is from a professional nrma endorsed panel beater, they fixed my sisters car when she got in a prang and it came out looking better than before.

The job would involve removing trims, panels and rubber seals so there is no overspray

That $150-$200 would be for welding all 14 holes? If so I'm driving to queensland :( !

Well now i am grateful that when i put it on ages ago, it was done with silicon :P

That would've been HEAPS betta :D !

I like how Nissan thought...

Yeah just drill into the damn thing, it's gonna be covered up anyway with a massive ginormous wing,

oh and make sure you drill 7 holes into each side...

This sucker's gonna be heavy! :)

Alrite, I was able to talk the panelbeaters into a discount.

Should be complete very soon... weird feeling now that I've mostly done everything I wanted to.

Should only be a matter of time before my attention turns to the Z *here we go again* :sweat::teehee:

Hey mate i think the person who designed that original wing must have the sexiest car in the universe.

I trust you burnt all the remaining evidence of that wing..

I like the wingless look.. mainly cos of ur sweet ass rear bar. But with ur new wing it just says "dont f*#k with me im quick." I love it. now go clean it and have sex in it..

What type of rear bar is that exaclty?

Also do you kno if that new wing can replace the original wings that most of us have without stuffing around with covering up holes?

When i replaced my Nismo wing (trolley). The bolts on the OEM R34 GTR ones lined up perfectly.

and i sold my Nismo one for $200 XD! why somone bought it.... i dont know..

Looking at the one you've put on, it doesn't have the adjustable side pieces. They have aftermarket ones exactly like the OEM ones but just aren't lol.

Thanks man,

It's a genuine nismo rear bar, but you can probably buy a fibreglass copy looks absolutely mean when combined with the aero or "altia" bodykit.

The rear wing if you look closely covers up the old bolt holes, but uses the original holes to bolt on, no muss no fuss.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
