i also had the altia/nismo rear spoiler. it was a bitch to remove. quite costly as the holes had to be lead-filled, welded, smoothed, and then resprayed. the cheaper option was to simply putty-fill the holes and spray, but thats a little dodgy.

yeah i would rather get it off, have u got before & after pics.

how much did it cost? who was your panel beater?

i got my car done at 'Imperial Smash Repairs' in springvale.

they did a pretty good job.

i got my old kit removed and a new cwest kit fitted and sprayed at the same time - so im not sure how much it would cost to get the rear quarter panels done alone. but from memory it was around the $800 purely for the rear qtr panels as they have the respray the whole rear panel which extends up to the roof. they blended the spray job at the ridge of the roof line - so a fair bit of spraying was involved too.

as i said previously... its a bitch of a job to do!!

heres a couple more pics:

before....

after....

$800? that's not too bad... i was quoted bout $1200 alone to fix the two rear quarters up..

how did the blend to the roof go? i might pay these guys a visit and get a quote for the quarters and or full respray to avoid blending issues... especially if they've done one before.

i've taken my wing off and just put gaffa tape over the holes... not a very good solution... seems to keep the water out though... pretty strong tape.

EDIT: looks like a great job from the second pic. You weren't completely happy with it by the sounds of it?

hey i reckon we should get all the r34's in melb and do a cruise.

that would be awesome!!!!

anyone interested?????? :D

Id be interested :wub:

Btw you have one shiny car, do you just clean it alot or has it been resprayed?

The car is just very clean in the pic.

possible repray before but not 100% sure.

How about a cruise to lorne and back in a few weeks????

800/1200.... shit.... 1200 also sounds familiar now too.

but i got a good deal overall.

i seriously considered the path of full respray; but u have to either decide to do a proper respray or a half-assed approach. proper method is to remove ALL windows - which means most of the rubber seals will need to be replaced which costs $several hundreds alone plus the possible risk of the windows being cracked in the process of removal. the annoying part is that the panel shops wont take responsibility if the windows crack when being taken out; and therefore u have to pay for the windows to be replaced if it happens.

the half-assed way is simpler; much cheaper; but u wont get a clean edge near the window seals.

LOL @ gaffa tape!

sad to say that i did the same thing at one stage too!!!

btw, u got PM with more details.

E.hills? I go around there regularly, as one of my friends lives there (another white r33 s2). Might have seen ya around - though bit hard to differentiate at night :D

think its harder to differentiate that white r33 then my black r34 lol.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
