that's what you think... in fact it's chockers full of it!

[Beer Baron]

haha, it may be too. Though i've had it off the boot and there was noise sound of water splashing around in there. The stock GTR wings are fairly hefty too. regardless of their water content!!

Hit two birds with the one stone and go wingless

  I will throw a spanner in the compliance / boat water theory.

Mine's an Aus delivered and it has water in the boot spoiler too... go figure.

i'd say it still came on a boat from japan and would have been sprayed at customs for bugs/diseases etc etc

i cant imagine any other way!

theres way to much water for it to come from condensation!

I've emptied mine post it landing, and its filling up again... so there is nothing special about the trip from Japan. I imagine its got something to do with the bonded nature of the spoiler and rain + washing.

I reckon people like Roy sneak around the pits at track days and fill GTR wings with water to slow us down...

CONSPIRACY THEORY!!!

This has been an interesting thread, the first time in SAU's history I have head of it and all of a sudden heaps of people mention the problem!

reni, how about editing the title so the thread says what it is actually about, and people can find it when browsing and searching

Mine had heaps of water too. r32 gtr

I drilled the holes. you cant see them so who cares.

ylwgtr2 - Cmon dude, you better know the reason

When I get the gtr back tomorrow i'm taking the wing off and checking this out.

[lang]

theres no water in mine, i feel left out

I just got my r32 GTR friday arvo from the docks in freo.. I had water in my tail lights on the right side (turns out a bit of rust perhaps where it wasn't painted up right or something, and the sticky black stuff wasn't all the way around).. Gonna put some anti-rust stuff on it tomorrow after a good going over with a wire brush in a drill, and my wing has a bit of water in it too...

Thanks for the tips... I'll pull it off and empty the water tomorrow as well.

Cheers,

Remember the at the blade on an R32GTR rear wing is a two piece moulding so there may be some way (?) water gets in there...

My wing on my 32 GTR has water sloshing around inside it also. I've also noticed at the rear eddge of the wing, there is a longish hairline fracture formed. Perhaps capilary action has caused any water dripping down on the surface to be sucked in. I don't think this alone could cause huge ammounts of pressure to build up though. You never know

I have seen this thread some weeks back and being a recent GTR buyer I decided to check it out. I opened the boot a few times and then I shook it around ... nothing. Having breathed a sigh of relief I left the poor thing alone and stopped messing with its back side.

Two days later however I opened the boot again and lo and behold Niagara falls inside my wing, bloody wombat tails says I. What a silly problem to have. Almost as common as the door foam on Nissans scratching the driver side window. So please +1 GTR to the water in the spoiler count.

In fact we should probably get a counter going, admin ...

this has happened to my window is ther any way to "clean" the scratchs of/out?

if you have taken the water out what was the water like? dirty? fresh?

[druzilla32]

mine was full of water too

yay, im in da club yo!

i was wondering why it was so damn heavy when i took it off.. it felt like it was solid

I didn't stop to take a sip so I can't comment on its freshness (maybe we could sell "GT-R Water" on ebay? Good for atleast 30rwkw), but it looked reasonably clear.

As for the window problem, there is a thread on that somewhere else.
