just wanting some peoples advice with removing the rear wing on a s2 r33. i have removed the two bolts from underneath and am not quite sure whether the stuff holding it down is the dreaded sickaflex or another type of adhesive.

if anyone has some tips on how to counter this problem it would be much appreciated.

thanks

ive undone EVERY SINGLE ONE and my win is glued on or some biz... its seems like a strange wing too.. it doesnt have a brake light and is really quite large stands about 15-20cm in the air... anyone know what type of stock wing it is cause its still has the stock bodykit...

lol....i tried to do it once.........spent two hours trying to figure it out.......ended up almost removinf the complete boot lid........but the wing just won't come off.........sme one do a DIY guide would be nice

removed mine about 2 weeks ago. Man that thing is not going nowhere after being there from the weather in japan.

There are 4 bolts from memory and a couple clips,. Thats the easy part.

Mine ( and probably all ) was glued down with some sort of sikaflex urethhane to stop water leaking in the holes. It was a bitch and a half to remove. Just get a stanley knife blade, and try scrape under the wing. BE VERY CAREFUL not to stratch the paint. Also use a heat gun to heat up around the glue. You have to use a fair bit of force and eventually it will come off..

Goodluck !

    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
    • I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it. 
    • Save the youtube time, I can explain in a couple of sentences:   Internal Combustion Engines run on smoke which is factory installed. If at any time the smoke escapes (generally via the exhaust), the engine will stop running.
    • That specific R33 GTST issue I ran across was putting a PowerFC into a series 2; it required a fuse added into an existing but unused circuit to fire up the PFC. That won't be the issue here as I assume the ECU powered up (OP surely would have mentioned if they couldn't connect). As Matt said, Haltech do have specific information about wiring in the Platinum Pro where there are minor differences across the 2 row plug models (R32/R33 from memory). Quick Start guide at this link: https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-055101-platinum-pro-plug-in-ecu/# At a quick glance, it is more likely to be a local wiring issue than ECU wiring (eg that connector near the left headlight might have differences) Start with the age old question....are you getting fuel and spark, at the right time
    • Stay away from Enkeis for track use, they crack, just ask the Evo kids. I'd take Murray's advice and put the widest forged wheels in the right offset under them I could find
