Wow thank you for that, reply is just perfect. I'd searched for so many different names for it and had missed "Active front spoiler"! I have a feeling my switch could be part of the issue with mine as like the guy in the link say his "down" button wasn't latching. With the car stopped and the handbrake on the spoiler will move as intended so I don't think there is anything wrong with the actual function of the spoiler. Will ask my importers parts desk to see if they can get hold of one! Also that R31 promo video is just the best thing ever!

Thanks gents, it is lovely and clean, all I have to do is tidy up a few bits and pieces but the list is tiny for a car that's over 20 years old! @Hadouken Nope it is undersealed which is the goope you can see, it protects it against the cheap and nasty salt the local gov. use over here when the roads get icy/snowy. Normally I won't use it when I get a wiff of the salt on the road and won't use it until it rains again to clear it off. It also helps keep water off the usual collection points (like the strut tops)

Hello all, Have just joined as I'm looking to tap into the vast knowledge here, starting with my spoiler. This is my first Skyline and therefore I'm trying to get my own information up to speed. Quick details on my car are here: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/465234-new-from-the-uk/ I've searched here and online and found the following two thread but neither really fledges out the details and also how to fix it. Mine is working for the most part, however it doesn't work automatically. It will just permanently come up as soon as the handbrake is released, and will refuse to stay down when the down button is pressed, I think this is because the down button won't "click" into place. http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/294465-spoiler-up-spoiler-down-buttons/?hl=front%20spoiler http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/339944-help-with-these-two-buttns/?hl=front+spoiler#entry5557440 Here are the button & it in the up and down positions: I've taken the button out (when I was attempting to fix the odo) and it's defo part of the original car; and here's the English manual blurb on it Would anyone be able to tell me if there is a place which gives more details on it so I can return it to full working order? Does anyone have a wiring diagram for it, I couldn't find one in the workshop manual I have got hold of. Thanks Tommo

Good morning all, I am Tommo from the UK and I have joined to absorb knowledge from here I have owned my ECR33 for 14months and it's my first Skyline. I had to have a Skyline as when I played the original Gran Turismo it was my first car in game (in black too) and it was the best car I had! I also have a great appreciation for all 80's and 90's Japanese cars so that adds to my appreciation of the car. When I finally got hold of mine I was blown away, no 23yr old car has any reason to be as good as this one is and I wish I'd done it sooner! As said I have an ECR33, I wanted a standard one, so I could enjoy the development as I modded it, and I wanted it in a dark colour so my importer had their work cut out. After a lucky & short amount of time I secured this spec 1 GTS25t and once it was over here both the importer and I were like "wow you don't see them this standard anymore", which has led me to keep it that way, so shock & horror, I'm not modifying it (other than the amp) Auction details as follows, it was also a Grade 4! 55058 / USS Yokohama / Skyline. GTS 25T ,Type-M Auto spoiler. ABS. Air bag. one owner. first auction. timing belt exchanged [ at 2006/4 61.958km ] water pump exchanged [ at 2006/4 61.958km ] AC compressor exchanged [ at 2012,8 74.453km] condensor exchanged [ at 2012,8 74.453km] V belt & battery exchanged. here is what you probably want to see, pics pics pics Thanks for reading Tommo
