How do i remove my 1996 R33 rear wing (factory GTR style)

can someone give me a walkthrough or point me to a good thread how to remove my rear wing

i want to clean the nice green scum that has formed where the wing joins to the boot.

should be 2 bolts each side (accessed from the boot) and the it is probably stuck down with a foam pad that has glue both sides.

have you tried just spraying on exit mold? don't think it should affect the paint, but not sure.

hey, im about to do this on a series2 96, not to much info here, not much in the diy section..if any one has any tips for the clips. which way to pull from?, would be a great help..

we all know nissan clips love to snap on everything, door pillars/rear garnish.. lol., done it all.. the blinkers you remove from right to left and they do not snap, any tip on the wing?

when i do mine ill take pix and post in diy section if someone is willing to help with clip info.. :laugh:

Yes, you can do it WITH LESS CHANGE OF snapping the clips. Undo the bolts.

The spoiler is clipped in. The spoiler needs to be slided in one direction. I believe it's towards the back fo the boot. Once you ahve the spoiler off, you'll notice that once you slide it, the clip will move to a larger sectino of the elongated hole, and it'll come out.

Don't just pull it up

hey man i removed one from my s2 r33 the stock wing.

you undo the 4 bolts under the boot. then undo the electrical clip on the right hand side ( i did it after i pulled wing out).

then it is attached with 4 white coloured clips in between the bolts like so:

LHS RHS

bolt bolt

clip clip

clip clip

bolt bolt

and after you have undone the bolts there are only the plastic clips to worry about.

to remove:

STAND AT REAR OF CAR WITH 2 ARMS UNDER THE WING

DISTRIBUTE THE WEIGHT AS EVENLY AS POSSIBLE

THEN LIFT WHILE PULLING TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR

IT IS PRETTY DAMN HARD

IT WILL POP OFF

THEN YOU SIMPLY REMOVE THE 2 RUBBER GROMET PADS THAT MAKE YOUR BOOT WATERTIGHT / STOP THE BOOT GETTING SCRATCHED / VIBRATIONS

THIS IS NOT GLUED DOWN

JUST PULL OFF AND WHALLA

THE GRIME UNDERNEATH IS AMAZING ! HAHA ITS VERY DISGUSTING

any probs pm me glad to help

GTR wings have about 7 or so bolts, 4 clips, 2 on each side where the spoiler part goes towards the window where it goes thin.. just be careful but if your going to take it off cos of the clips, you need to pull it exactly where the clips are straight up but you need to use a bit of force aswell cos they might be a little stuck... When they pop it'll sound like you snapped something but you didn't...

It'll be a bit messy under there from the glue and crap... when i pulled mine gtr spoiler off it had all this gluey residue shit on it... so i put it back on and started saving pennies to get drift wing and respray boot lol

NO!!! That's wrong. Do not pop the clips out like that. You'll either break the clips, buckle the boot lid, snap the spoiler, or bend your boot lock.

The correct procedure, is you actually push the spoiler down onto the boot and shift the spoiler (I think it's towards the rear of the car). The clips will move into the larger section of the hole once the spoiler has shifted and you'll be able to lift it up.

You'll have to undo the bolts first of course.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
