I've recently bought a set of Nismo wing stay for my R34 coupe.

After taking off the stock spoiler, I realised there's an extra set of holes on the boot lid. The stock + nismo wing stay only uses 2 set of holes but theres another hole in the middle of the 2.

At the moment, it's got some sort of plastic clips on them, and I'm just wondering what are they and what it's for. And the best way to cover it.

I was thinking to get some rubber plugs from Clark Rubber. I definitely aren't going to get the holes welded and resprayed.

The factory wing uses the middle holes, they have a sort-of clip that goes from the spoiler into the hole - probably to help locate it, or lock it down or something. Either way, yeah - you're going to want to put some sort of proper plug in there to prevent water entering your boot. I'm sure a body-shop (or someone on here) might be able to give you some clues.

Also - the nismo wing stays - they're supposed to have plastic pieces that sit around the bottom of the stay and cover up any of the holes anyway?

Are you missing these?

Ohh, I'm guessing they must have snapped on the stock wing stay. Think I might take them out and put some plugs into them.

As for the covers, I have them but I think the spoiler looks a lot better without the covers :P

get some touch up paint and paint whatever you use to fill it up with it? would look dodgy but you wont really notice it unless you look up close or you could just put a cf vinyl under the nismo stands to make a shape?

Cheers :D

I'm pretty sure it would be legal.... Because it's a factory item....

And plus, I though the only reason why after market spoiler isn't legal, is when they stick out further than the width of your car? Because apparently it can hurt someone when you hit them with your car lol

Here's a pic of it from behind:

Just wondering, does anyone know how big the middle hole will be if I take out the plastic clip thingys?

As in... Will the hole be just as wide as the plastic clips? or will it be smaller, like the front and back holes?

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
