Hi everybody.. I got an s1 r33 and wanna take the stock rear spoiler off, but i dont want the obvious holes and the imprint of the spoiler to be left behind. Anyone know any good places in Melb that will take it off for me and smooth it out? Also, would I have to respray the boot or is it a small job?

And does anyone know roughly how much it would cost?

cheers guys

my opinion, you should take it off yourself... its easy

and then take off the boot......

then give it to a spray shop.. for them to re-spray it...

that way its cheaper for labour...and you dont have to leave your car there for apprentices to do dounuts in...........

yes it has to be re-sprayed.... because they putty up the holes and they sand it smooth then coat it.

See my car has 2 spoilers, one mini drift one and the norma series one spoiler. I just wanna keep the drift one on. but yeah, my car is too low to get into my driveway so i dont garage it :D ...So if i was to take it off and take it to a mech my car woud have no boot lol..so guess i can jus take the spoiler off and get a mech to do the rest. u kno any good places that do this?

DT panels, 12 Lightwood Drive (or Street, can't remember) Springvale.

Talk to Vu (evilsub on forums) can't remember the number off my head but it should be on sticky threads on Victoria section, have a look there.

Hey. Yeah they'll have to weld up and patch all holes then fill to re-straighten because the welding pulls the panel steel around. Then respray. We usually charge about 350 for it. Doesn't cost any diff whether you take whole car in or remove yourself.

    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
    • Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.
    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
    • I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
