Hi all...im thinking of removing the rear spoiler off my r33 gtst s1....i want a different look, as there are too many gtsts going around with gtr or stealth wings...has anybody got any pictures of how its looks...my car is wine red so if anybody has any pics of a wine red r33 without a rear spoiler that would be great...and yes i would weld in the holes and do a respray...cheers

it will look shit, trust me !!!

if you want the no spoiler look, your going to have to buy a new boot, plastic moild that lifts the top of it up so it doesnt look too stupid, have a close look at your spoiler, ur boot sinks down, and the spoiler takes up the gap

Personal taste, lets not forget that HZ GTS's are not Monaros....

If you want to be different get a c/f or fibreglass rear boot which is moulded to be level with the 1/4 panels, they look good. If not then just weld the holes, fill the "slots" where the original wing went and have a smooth lid. Its all personal choice,

Twas pretty easy, just take out some screws and if you change your mind....put the screws back on.

I took the wing off atthe national museum while we were cruising, the cops that roled up couldn't figure out why i was fu**ing with my own car lol.

yeah i took mine off for a while too, maybe 2 days. but after looking at it for a while i came to the conclusion that it didnt really flow. but again its all to do with personal preference.

IMO, i reckon flush mounded lip spoilers look better.

if you run no wing the quarter panels will be exposed.

by memory you can see where the panel wraps up and over, and see the spot welds etc

ie. you won't see a neat flat painted edge...

guess you could bog and spray the bat wing bits but that's alot of effort IMHO

i had the holes welded when i had the paint job done.

also theres a bit that sticks out on the inside of the rear panel that i had flattened so it looks cleaner.

i like it better without the wing.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
