I'm thinking of getting a spoiler which looks like this and fitted on my R33:

Does anyone know of a place in Brisbane where:

1) I can buy something like that

2) I can get it fitted?

I still have my original spoiler on, so I'll need to remove that too.

Got tired of how my car looks like almost every other R33 and decided to do something about it. ^_^

Well its ur choice.

The wings look OK, but all the negative attention i received when i had the wing on got to me in the end.

1. COPS

2. DICKHEADS WANTING TO RACE YOU EVERY TIME YOU WENT FOR A DRIVE.

3. BOY RACER IMAGE.

Personally i wouldnt do it, i sold my cusco wing for $150 bucks. So i would keep an eye out for a second hand one if thats what you want.

Oh yeah the shopping list is off as well.

Hmm. After seeing the cusco wings, i'm really split on whether i should keep my original spoiler or change it to something like that.

IMHO, it spoils the R33's image as the car is too big and not.. agile enough? Drift spoilers like these are meant for smaller cars like the FD3S and S13/S14/S15.

I'll rather keep a low profile like now rather than attract cops too.

There isn't much difference in terms of performance between the R33 S2 spoiler and something like that, right? E.g. in aerodynamics.

I'm with devils advocate. The only other wing style that would suit the 33 imo is the bobtail rear spoiler a la 68 comaro. The big hipped 33 is just begging for it but due to the different height between the rear guards and the boot its too damn fiddly to do anything in that style without a lot of frigging about. For that reason i am going with the genuine gtr wing.

The classic coupe and big arse design of the 33 scream out for someone to do a retro muscle car look. Bobtail back, shovel nose front spoiler and fat arse pumped guards would look drop dead freakin haaawt on a 33.

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
