Hey mate; if you end up getting that wing off... can you do me a really big favour? Could you measure up all the holes for me (both boot lid and bottom of spoiler) as well as the diameter for the screw/s?

I'm planning a little DIY thing (making new spoiler stands for stock spoiler) so I need that information :D

Cheers mate!

EDIT:

Also, I'm going to link your site up tonight, cool? :)

Are you talking about the coupe wing?...cause i've taken that out and it was easy...Yeh..ill measure it up for you when i get around to it....lol im scared i might lose the nuts for the stand..cause it can fall inbetween the boot framme..which is a bitch to get out.Only way to get it out is to remove the whole boot :D

ill take some pics while im at it too

hahaha Thanks Satanic...

ill make a links page tooo...and of corse you be on the list :)

It's held on with that double sided foam and It's a nightmare to get off. It just needs lots of muscle power and patience. Have you popped the 2 white plastic lugs (1 per support leg) that fit between each legs set of bolts yet???

sorry to bring this up again. i need to remove my coupe spoiler.

so how do you pop the 2 white plastic lugs? do you pull it downwards?

could those who have succeeded taking their spoiler off shed some light?

cheers

haha, funny..I was just about to start a thread about removing my spoiler..on a sedan though...so E-lushun if you found out could you please enlighten us! I want to know if removing the factory spoiler leaves any permanent marks on ur bootlid??

Cheers :)

did you get my PM? i took mine off - fishing line is your friend :)

Yeah mine is a little different to your Nismo version. Im not worrying about the adhevise tape stuff yet. Those plastic lugs are the trouble, I could only get one finger through the hole so no way to pop them out. Dont want to pull the whole spoiler out and break the lugs either.

Hugely old thread, and I don't care - I can't find anything else on this topic for us R34 sedan owners.

I learn't a few things in my efforts tonight, which may help someone in future:

i) An R34 coupe wing is not a direct bolt-on to an R34 sedan - the rear bolt hole is in a slightly different location, but otherwise fits quite well

ii) The R34 sedan wings are a bitch to get off, with a tonne of double-sided tape, and some evil lugs at the back which you have to try and undo (which in my case snapped on one side because it just refused to come out)

On the positive side, I'm very happy with the results - slightly more aggressive without being stupidly big. I also still think it suits the lines of the car.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
