there is always another way, that is horrible and i bet painful for you . feel for ya

only way to really fix it is to have the holes welded back up, prepped then painted.

or another dodgy fix for when the boots open, use rubber grommets from clark rubber.

Just had a look at the pic again.

Mate or no mate- the installer was a nipple head.

The holes will probably be too close together to weld up; you'll have to get a plate the same shape and size made up and welded in it's place.

And what happens when someone tries to steal the wing? or you need to get it off? New holes again???

IMHO, if you can afford a 10K stereo, in hind sight you should have spent $300 getting the wing installed properly - that way you don't have to spend $300 fixing up the fcuk ups!

As an aside, I've always wondered about the large wings; if they just bolt into the boot skin, there is no way they will provide "downforce" anyway - they'll just bend the sheet metal of the boot. I haven't looked at how a factory R34 GTR wing is installed; but I can bet it bolts into the boot reinforcement frame in some way. Hope your boot lid stays flat over time!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
