'33 Gtr Spoiler

[GotsWapan]

I've got an R33 GTR spoiler fitted to my R33 GTS-T which was done by one of the previous owner/s, I've purchased a carbon fibre wing blade for it. I Don't know if the factory ones come with torques head screws on the pivot and slider part, with the holding screws being allen keys but the problem is the torques head screws have been threaded and I cannot remove them. I've tried applying pressure to them and trying more so but I can't remove them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Very carefully drill them out...

I have the same problem, I dont want to drill out the bolts cause I want to reuse the them, so its all stock...

plus it will probably ruin the std blade...

If you get some reverse drill bits and put your drill in reverse also, it may even undo for you without stripping the threads in the blade.

from doing a little google researching Ive found out its a common issue and others have found that nissan used locktite on atleast one of the bolts either side...

others have drilled them out also...

any suggestions to avoid drilling them out?

[GotsWapan]

I'm a bit against drilling them out also. I had a suggestion if there is a tiny bit of slack in the blade if it could be stretched and a hack saw blade may fit between the wing side and the blade to cut the bolts. Haven't had a proper look yet

[75coupe]

no to the hacksaw method, definitely scratch something doing that...

may just have to drill and throw the std wing away... suck

[GotsWapan]

It could be masked up to help prevent scratching?

[75coupe]

ok have a go and report back... I dont think I'll risk that one unless I see it achieved elsewhere first

[GotsWapan]

Will see what I can come up with. Probably a weekend job I'd say

Managed to get the old blade out by grinding back the head of the bolts flat then drilling into them to make them hollow, spacing out a gap between the blade and the side of the wing, masking up the area and running a hacksaw blade through the bolts. Problem solved for me.

i have hacksaw'd off a front bar that had threaded screws, didn't damage anything
