LOL, i just tried to take mine off so that i can clean under it, there is so much shit there. Unfortunatly, no good, so someone shed some light. I simply used a soft bristle brush to get under it to clean it, but still scratched the paint work, spent the last hour trying to polish it all out. DAM SOFT NISSAN PAINT.

ne one who wants to know how its just the 4 bolts explained at start of the thread then stand behind the car 2 arms under the wing and slowly ease your bodyweight onto the wing in an upward direction and the strong japanese christmas tree clips will eventually pop and off comes the wing ne one needing help PM me.. but that summs it up :(

after all bolts are undone it still might be sikaflexed on best way to check is get some fishing line and go underneath where its still attached to the car this should cut through the sikaflex... thats all i can offer hope that helps

hey, sorry to open this old thread. Just taken mine off, whats the best way about filling the holes how have u filled them in? who did u take it too

panel beater to weld in some circles to close the gaps, then file it back, small layer of filler to ensure smooth, prime boot and repaint.

Hi,

I have currently purchased a GTR wing...and noticed there are 3 bolts on the under side of the wing.

So previously having a s2 wing there are no holes for wing. Ive been reffered to drill some holes in the boot to mount, just wondering if this is the best idea, or get rid of 1 or 2 bolts so not so many holes need to be drilled, and painting the edge cuttings (underneath or on top of the boot?)

And if anyone can tell me the size nut i need off the top of their head, cheers.

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.

      If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.

      Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.

      Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
