Hi All,

I managed to locate a Dayz wing in Japan (at long last/excited).

Just wondering has anyone swapped theirs at all?

I'm curious about the rear hatch on the right, is there a pre-existing hole with grommet under the original wing where the wiring can feed through?

Cheers,

Pete

I don't know if there is a hole on top of the boot lid under the stock spoiler (probably not, because why would there be...) but the underside of the bootlid and the rear cabin do have holes and grommets so it should all be fine.

At worst you have to drill a hole in the top of the bootlid, protect the cables through it with something (eg, a short piece of rubber host) and make sure the spoiler's gakset seals properly to the boot (if not, a thin line of silastic would help)

Cheers for the reply and advice Duncan.

Yeah a bit of wishful thinking on my behalf.

Hoping Nissan being Nissan, they plan ahead. ie. any of those with wings have have a hole pre-fab from factory whether it has the light/wiring for brake light or not.

Put the wing on, had to drill couple of extra holes for the loom and bolts.

Painted holes so any exposed metal not exposed to moisture.

Worked out alright.

Just gotta suss out the voltage drop I have for the rear brake loom.

Have 11.5v, which powers the standard brake lights ok (incandescent).

But the LED in the wing needs at least 12v.

Correction to my above observation on the led not working under 12v.

It does work with voltage lower than 12v.

Tested it out further this arvo, connecting only the wing light into the brake loom and all good.

But when connected in parallel with the brake light in the rear window hatch, nothing.

Might try all led in the hatch brake light and see what happens.

If no joy maybe I need a resistor or diode or something.. will need to suss it out.

      I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.

      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.
