Just came backfrom the Drifts at Ipswich, 200k. The back window and tailgate were disgustingly dirty. Will a spoiler like the RED one help keep this area clean, or is it just for show?

Some years ago when Chrysler Aust. made their Stn Waggon with a built in/on spoiler, i remember the spent "millions" gettin it right to keep the back screen clean.

Anyone got any thoughts/experience on this.

Spoiler probably won't help much. Late model Commodore Wagons (VT on) have a 'wind deflector' that guides air from the roof down over the back screen, this is to stop the dust from sticking and I think they work ok. The wing won't do this so not sure of the effect, being a very vertical rear window it attracts the most amount of grim possible as there is a lot of swirl and not a great deal of air flow down the window.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Luke

Ta MU(N)CHLY.

could a section of the spoiler have a louvre in it that could be opened or shut.

Or maybe a kit for those that wanted it.

I realise this would make it more expensive but am thinking how to make it practical as well as good looking.

I will see if I can design something like this into the spoiler, however I am not sure there is much we can do about it as the stagea rear is very perpendicular to the direction of travel and creates a very large venturi.

keep you updates.

3intheback - i will send you a TNT con note thing this week via express post.

Alex, had alook at my neighbours spooler which appears identical to the RED one.I think that if I used double thickness d/s sticky abd left gaps for some air flo, it might keep the back window a bit (much) cleaner. Any thoughts?

I am just going to pickup 3's spoiler tonight, I will test fit it on and see how it goes.

At this stage though, the air flow duct is looking less probable as it would be quite difficult to engineer in, where of the 5 or so people interested, you are the only one thats relly after that feature.

I will make the closest possible thing I can to the red one, even the way it lines up with the lines on the side of the car (ill do it better than both on previous page :rofl:)

Ill provide bolts, GOOD 3M double sided tape, instructions and everything with the spoilers of how to install them. This will be a full "spoiler add-on kit", its going to be done right.

Just want to know currently who is 100% interested in purchasing.

After I talk tomorrow with my guy with the spoiler in hand, Id like to get some deposits from people to help in producing the mould etc (will be out of my pocket). Naturally, the deposit will be used as credit towards the final unit price when the kit is available.

I will confirm pricing etc all tomorrow/this weekend too.

I am in, 100% just tell me when you need the deposit!

How much extra do you thing it would be to colour match and paint locally? I understand it's a bit hard to colour match my car in QLD when you are in Vic >_<

    • Awesome to know. I have a Series 1, and When pulling my front bumper off for the first time i realised my reo/crash bar was a bit worse for wear, and was going to try pick up a better one soon just so i can replace it. Someone is selling a full series 2 front bar and brackets for a decent price, so was going to probably reuse my brackets and install the new second hand reo/crash bar. I also have a genuine Altia body kit to do up, spray and put on, and not sure if that will use the series 1 or series 2 brackets for the front bumper, so having both will be handy, and knowing i can drill holes out to make stuff fit between series is also handy to know!
    • I should also say that the while they are different the only parts that matter are the center headlight supports and center bar from S1 to S2. The center bar will work, but the S1 has holes that clips go through into the S1 bumper. So if you were super cheap you could simply drill the S2 bar. Same thing with the side/wings. They have slightly different 'clips' but can be made to work. The center headlight brackets however, cannot. This is also where the GTR differs, which has a different center bar, and different headlight supports (to either GTT system), it also has different 'wing' headlight supports which is what I am calling under the headlight. However those CAN be made to work with the GTT Reo for a GTR front bar by a small spacer and a drill/tapping a thread into the reo because the bolt positions are slightly different. So people only really need the center brackets to go between GTT S1, GTT S2, and GTR if you are happy to do some tinkering.

    • If this, then this You can't really get away without it. There are hacks that you can do in Nistune, but things are much easier with the sensor than without it. If you're not planning to Nistune the ECU, then stop right now and add it to your plan anyway, because the ECU is going to shit the bed over the missing ABS and TC computers that it expects to see, and you need Nistune to stop it chucking all its toys over the side of the crib.
    • hey guys, so ive done a complete +t conversion using mostly stock parts on my rb20de neo r34.  Im wanting to know if a boost pressure sensor is needed? Seems like the engine cuts out when i try to do a pull and I have a feeling its because a boost pressure sensor is missing. I'm using a stock r34 rb25det neo ecu.
