After seeing that real R34 GTR rear spoilers go for 75,000yen and up (yahoo auctions, and not including the cost of getting it here)... i was wondering if anyone in oz makes replica ones?

carmate does, but they make the Nismo, high version. Does any make replica's of the standard GTR rear spoiler? preferably a two piece item...

or anyone know of o.s. companies to get these from?

cheers,

daniel

i'm keen on a multiple piece one if possible. So the main horizontal wing part, the angle adjustable bit, and the struts....

what the fudge is it with honda's in the U.S. and R34 Skyline parts!!! :laugh:

OK I'm pretty sure I can organize the following:

R34GTR OEM Rear Spoiler (copy)

* 4 piece construction (2 stands, 2 wings)

* Bottom wing and stands made from FG

* Top Wing Blade made from CF

* Top Wing Blade Adjustable

Probably looking at $500 + delivery or pickup from Sydney. Supplier is a local distributor; not sure who their supplier is nor have I seen a sample for quality purposes.

i used to make a few in SA and i think autobarn Mile end (my old shop) still has the moulds, if not im sure we sent a couple to unique autosports and they moulded a couple.

^ yeah, i asked about them a few years back now... i think you said your particular moulds had deviated a little, so you'd stopped making them at that time...

i've seen unique with them, but it was like a special, and i asked about it and they said they only had one. That was snapped up after a while. But this wa a loooooooong time ago :woot:

OK I have official details of the product in terms of pricing... it'll be $550 each but I can have this price reduced to $500 each if we get 5 people on it.

Being a large item; I didn't even bother asking what the price would be for 10 :)

I'll set up a GB thread if you guys are interested...

damn it! i thought that link i found was in GBP! (pounds) it's in US dollars! $130 + $100 shipping, that's about $300 AUD :(

that's quite cheap... top blade isn't CF like satanics one though... CF would be much cooler. I'm a little short on the $$ at the mo, so still have a bit more time to figure this out...

i just thought the struts looked a little different to standard, but after finding some pics of a real one, they do seem the same. Might just be the angle they're taken on.

damn it, that spoiler is sooo much cheaper than i thought. Which is a good thing, but makes the decision a bit harder.

how keen are you Forged?

Best thing about this spoiler is that its made in Japan so I have more confidence in its quality and of course an fairly reasonable price.

However I still would prefer the carbon top wing version. In fact I have made an enquire to SRS auto (pick up from where satanic has left) to see how much an individual order would cost, they said something about $600 plus for the carbon version but pending email confirmation. If it end up costing more than $500 then I will definitely give the ebay copy a try.

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
