So what's the deal with all the Skylines with there spoiler removed.

Looks like someones stole them half the time with no attempt to make it good.

Dose it deter the cops if you remove it or is it to shave a few hundreths of a second off your 1/4 times

I think it looks a bit pony to be honest but just wondered why so many remove them.

i removed mine on my old 32, hated the standard sedan spoiler and ended up putting a gtr n1 lip spoiler

generally people will remove them for cosmetics, on 33s they need at least a duck wing otherwise they look shithouse

on the 33s it looks cleaner

but deffs needs a duck lip to fill the gap and make boot flush with the rear quarter panels

and yes can be more cop trouble if you didnt spend the extra time to properly fit another high mount break light.

Question should be why som many kids want a GTR spoiler on a '33 when the GTS-T spoiler looks much better and less cop bait.

Didn't know spoilers had so much affect on a car at 100kmp/h (the legal speed limit) and admit it, most of you never "track day" you rides.

Personally lip = best.

I want my stock GTR spoiler back on, cuz the previous owner took it off.

At least they did a good job with filling up the holes and repainting the whole boot lid again.

the only reason why i want a spoiler is so that my boot lid doesn't shoot up

yeah, jamies boot nearly ko'd me lol

im gona take the wing off my car when i get it, N1 lip ftw

IMO, GTRs without the GTR wing looks wrong. Yes, Jamie, I'm talking to you and your bald assed 32 :domokun:

personally i like the series 2 33 spoiler...dunno why you would take it off. Series 1 i understand... *shudder*

Cosmetics aside i find in a sedan or coupe its much easier to park with a wing...cuz then you know how far you have left to go without guessing :laugh: Hatches are easy cuz ur back window is exactly where the back of your car is...trickier with a boot.

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
