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.

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
