Hey, just wanted some opinions. So out of impulse buying i saw a carbon fibre spoiler and wanted it, thinking it would look awesome. Then realised the boot wouldn't still flush when the OEM one comes off. So i bought a bobtail, painted and installed it and than drilled the carbon fibre wing on. Now I'm really regretting it, i don't really like it. I was looking at old pictures of the car, and don't understand why i even took the old one off in the first place, the OEM look is sooo much better. It is much more beautiful with the original spoiler on.

I realise it is my fault for making a stupid knob decision, but i was justing wondering what everyone else thought of it?

Yeah doesnt look too cool, it instantly looks cheap, your always better off researching before buying something you stumble across...

Im saving for a bee-r cf wing blade that will replace the gtr rear spoiler blade (currently just a cf blade on my s2 r33) but the beeR is higher and larger, google search it...

There are some spoilers out there, but do you want it functional or just cosmetic, your current on probably fails in both sections though sorry...

Damn 89CAL, that is one hot looking ride. The wing also adds to it perfectly.

I have a thread going in the V Series Skyline section, debating if I should get a black colour car or not. After reading others comments I'm having serious doubts about getting that colour..... :( and thinking I go silver, like I always have.

I just don't have the time to be hand cleaning it, well not enough to keep it looking smick. So I would have to run it through the Auto Car Wash, the type that has no brushes, just high pressure water etc. But I'm not sure if that is good for the paint etc.

But after seeing how damn perfect your ride looks, I'm back at square one again. Thinking I should go the black.... Damn it !

You should put up a warning before you splash pics about of your car..... Lol ;)

Thanks, it's taken a long time to get it where I wanted it, still not there, and may never be lol

Owning a black car really isnt that bad. I wash mine once a week at the most. Some weeks I get lazy and dont do it, especially if theres rain around. But it looks so damn good when its clean.

I don't use any special car wash, just the Maguires ultimate wash. And have started using Turtle wax - Black wax which makes it stay pretty clean. I find If I spend enough time waxing etc the car once every so often, its easy to wash once a week

I have taken mine through auto-wash's and it doesnt come up too bad, obviously never as good as a hand wash.

Bit off topic this lol

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
