Hey all.

I have removed the rear spoiler on my car and wanted to share the pics with you..

For those who are thinking of doing the same thing, I will say this...

It's not THAT easy..

once you remove it, you get one whole at each end, and 2 small ones and a big one in the middle..

I welded them up from underneath and boged the top and sanded and sanded till the cows came home..

then went over it with a high fill puddy spray, then sanded.

Then undercoat, then sanded, then sprayed in silver a few layers, then clear.

A week later, I had it buffed, then I went home and polished it some more..

Not easy but check out the results...

You'd never be able to tell that there was ever a spoiler there..

On a side note, I have a perfectly good R32 GTST rear spoiler with brake light for sale for anyone interested..

some pics below..

I acutally did all the prep work.

My mechanic did the coats of paint..

I took a week off work and spent my whole time at the mechanic getting things done and the boot was one of them.

My arms were killing me all week from all the sanding..

But it's worth it in the end.., there is no trace of a spoiler ever being on there..

    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
    • I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"
