howdy all,

If there is a very kind, generous, giving, R34 GTR member out there who could possibly measure their rear spoiler for me that would be the coolest! ;) I have a measurement of a copy spoiler from the base of the spoiler pillar to the top (so not the actually wing bit, just the struts/supports) but to me this copy wing looks taller. And the standard GTR is tall enough as it is, just need to know if the pillar/support/strut thing is the same height as the original.

cheers! :)

sewid, that would be awesome!! i've got a measurement of about 22.75cm's from the base of the strut to the top of the strut. I have a feeling you will get a shorter height, but i guess we'll see.

thanks mate, you're a champ :P

Ok sorry I didnt get to post on the weekend as I was not near an internet connection. The spoiler is nowhere near 27cm high and the strut is about 15cm max.

I have still to get proper measurements and i will do that this week.

any luck dude? here's the ones i thought were right, but when looking at them properly, i realised there was a problem :(

height of the struts was apparently, 9" which seems to be about 22.75cm's. Not quite 27cm :)

cheers

EDIT: there maybe an option of modifying the above wing, so if know what the proper height is, that would be great :D

not a problem, you're doing me a favour, can't argue with that :D

Not regoed hey? neither's mine, altho it's not an hours drive way, it's like a 9 hour drive away :D So has it all be complianced? You must be itching to give her a good drive :D

Yeah I feel your pain.

Compliance only took 2 days, waiting for DOTARS to approve the plate was painful and took 10 days all up. I can't complain though as that's how long they say it will take. The plate is going on the car today so I can get regoed.

The only issue might be RTA inspection if they want it. Sydneykid says they're inspecting all SEVS imports so its highly probable.

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.

      You would need to paint your hardtop again though

      I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
