crap thing about r34 with the nismo wing (atila or watever its called) is when you take it off, it leaves a million holes.. looks like you were hit with a drive by shooting haha

you can use metho spirits or general purpose thinners to help take it off as well

Go the heat gun and eucalyptus oil

It's gentler than thinners and wont cloud your paint

a cut/polish afterwards is essential

about the holes, your only lasting option is to spot weld them then bog/paint

careful though, welders like to buckle panels

cameral wheel, its a rubber wheel that attaches to a drill and removes all glues, stickers, and the like without damage to paint. they can be bought at panel beaters supplier's. just remember not hold the wheel in one spot as it will burn your paint

Dragonforce - i got quoted by DT Panels here in vic about $350 for each side (coz the car is red they would've needed to blend the colour over to the doors aswell) + $250 for the bootlid

i'm sure if you look around you can get it a bit cheaper. maybe around the $500 mark.

but if you ask me its not worth it, which is why i'm gonna wait it out till i can go in for a full respray. dont see the point in fixing the holes now and spraying only half the car...

Granthem - did you have the wing too?

this is the only pic i got of the lights at night. while in park, still dunno which ones light up when braking etc lol

    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
