Yesterday I installed a carbon boot lip spoiler purchased from Kukumei Motorsports on eBay.

For less that $200 AUD delivered (within 7 days!) I was extremely happy with the quality of the product, fitment was simple (quality 3M tape supplied) and most importantly it covers the plugged holes we had in the boot since removing the previous owners cheap-ass wing.

A couple of pics attached...

Thanks for the positive reply's guys. As money permits, the wife would like to fit a full kit and has showed a real interest in the R35 GTR kits getting around. I'm in two minds on this but hey, its not my car and if thats what she wants, thats what she will get - happy wife = happy life!!!

wing looks good!

did u patch up the boot holes at all? if not water may still get in and cause rust over time.

pls do NOT get the R35 gtr kit, it looks sh*t.....

Holes were taped off so I am hopeful that this will keep them as rust free as possible. Time will tell I guess. As I said, I am not keen on the GTR kit either so a bit of gentle persuasion will be needed to find a kit thats more suited to the V series. There is plenty of images on G35driver, Google images etc that I am confident will make her see it my way!

Hey Andrew, just a thought regarding the body kit.

Since it's your wife's car, I am guessing she will do more driving daily. In that case, I would suggust getting a subtle and not all-out kit like Greddy, Chargespeed, etc. V35 are pretty low from factory. Even with 19 inch wheels and low profile tyres on mine, I would scrapped on bumps if I don't slow down. After putting on Veilside + Webersport body kit, I am not confident on driving on ramps that look high anymore.

So unless the car is only driven on weekends from point A to B on the road that you know very well, it won't be a good idea. Just a subtle kit like JP Visage, Nismo or even lowered with no kit look good for me. :)

    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
    • Been so long since I have been here,seeing SDU is dead. I had that problem on my gtr in 2006 but luckily there was no engine damage,it was inspected by Hytech Engines,race bearings and extended crank collar put in and that was about it. Hopefully yours is sorted now.
    • Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?
    • I've got cash, it's the NA LOLS I'm after now Plus, I've had a few boosted cars, and it is soooo easy to turn a reliable car into a unreliable drivetrain eating money pit monster by just paging up and chasing more My power goal for the NC is to try for a reliable naturally aspirated 150kw or 200hp atw (I'm old, and the old naturally aspirated cherry of 100hp per litre is a goal that I would like to hit), no more is really needed for what I use the car for,  so a additional 5kw is what I'm chasing now,  that 5kw is about $3k away, I think....
