hey guys,

havin a bit of trouble removing my factory spoiler on my 92 r32 gts.

i've taken off the 3 10mm bolts on the underside of the bootlid, but it seems to be still firmly secured.

i think there's probably some plastic clips holding it in further down the spoiler, but out of reach from the hole in the bootlid.

anyone know how this can be done?

any help would b much appreciated.

cheers.

scott.

its basically some sort of double sided tape or adhesive was a c**t to get off for me as well but was well worth it :) and its on either side of the wing next to each bolt.

I removed the bolts then used a thin strong bladed knife and forced it between the spoiler and boot, making sure it was closer to the spoiler then the boot and basically cut through it. removing the sticky adhesive off the boot was a pain in the arse tho.

did mine over the weekend and there are 3 bolts from underneath and the advesive tape and 2 plastic clips (which are only on the middle section of the wing) These clips just snapped off when i did mine (but were stubborn).. another trick which i used was to break the seal of the tape using some fishing line. and as BSK said, removing the residue from the tape etc is a right pain in the arse..

on a side note, what have people used to block up the holes left? ive just used some tape for now (as il get it filled and painted eventually). but i havnt driven n the rain yet.. i was thinking some sort of rubber grommet?

i used gaffer tape it looked shit but kept the rain out..i guess if you got tape the same colour as your car (assuming u dont have some crazy paint job) then i guess it would look alright. and my holes are filled now so im happy :O

ive seen regular grommets used and also some funky machined looking metal fittings held on with a nut on the under side i think... wouldnt mind finding out where to get these. anyone?

until then black gaffer tape on a black car will do me fine.

      CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
