just wondering where a good reliable place would be to get the spoiler off my r33. or does any one know how to? i undid all the bolts and it stil didnt come off, it must be glued down some how.

wat can i do about the brake light too? can i reposition it some where or dont i need it? r the tail lights good enough, for rego and cop reasons

What type of spoiler is it?

If its a standard one im pretty sure there are plastic clips on either side that you need to "pop" the spoiler out of (you need to apply a bit of force if its never been taken out).

If its glued down, its going to potentially damage the paint on the boot. It sounds weird its bolted + glued down; but wouldnt be the first time haha.

In regards to the brake light, obviously its fine not to have it there, and i highly doubt you would get pinched over something like that... because instead of having the LED light as an extra notification to the people behind you that you are braking, all of your tail lights would just illuminate when you put your foot on the brake like normal...

my gtr wing was glued down.... farked it trying to get it off. never did get it off.

keep the spoiler on there and find another bootlid if you want it to be easy... otherwise you'll have to take it to a panel beater and they will have to rub it back and spray after getting the spoiler off, they may also damage the bootlid getting it off.

thanks guys, i got it off today. looks heaps good, apart from built up dust and shit like that. its just a series one spoiler btw. how much do u reckon a smash repairs would charge to weld the holes up and re paint it? would it be worth goin to a customs shop?

Welding holes would mean a full respray of the boot, because you would never match the panel colour again.

Easiest way man, if you want the "flat boot" look, is to get a "drift lip" which just adds a small lip on the end of your boot. Looks good & tonnes better then having that gap between either side of the rear quater panels to the boot.

      Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.

      Possible option to replace central computer 370 V36

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out

      I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.
