Spoke to the the fabricator, he said the stock brake light wouldn't fit the contours of the flat boot lid as the stock one has a bigger curve. He can graft a flat rectangular Hella LED brake light into it, but he said it would add tot he cost of the spoiler by about $100 since the lights aren't cheap. Also it'll mean 2 moulds have to be made for those that don't want the brake light.

However, seeing as most people have rear windscreen wipers, they won't be able to fit a brake repeater on the base of the window, they'll have to fit it at the top. And I don't think most people would be too keen on the taxi-look.

Your call guys.

thanks for your effort you're putting into this :rofl:

Only interested if it accomodates for the brake light @ max total price $300. Have you got any photos of the Hella LED the fabricator spoke about??

ps i know that you source complete flat bootlids (eg east bear make one) - maybe we could do a group buy on them?? because aren't they about $600 each? which is only double what we're paying for this spoiler, plus you get the weight saving, and can sell your old boot.

won't know a final price until we actually have the thing down here. ATM the estimate is $250 - $300, it won't go over that.

And for east bear ones, yeah I can get em down, can put em in a container with other parts n save on shipping, maybe even convince east bear to give a discount.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
