Yea I was wondering about how the boots sits lower than the side of the car... Is it possible if you could replace it with a boot of an R33 sedan? would it fit? or do we have to buy that small wing like up top ^^^ (I wana take mine off soo bad)

Are there any legal issues with removing the brake light in the wing and replacing with a drift wing?

I dont have a brake light in the rear parcel shelf so if i put a drift wing on the only brake lights I will have will be the stove tops.

Anyone ever been pinged for removing the brake light in the wing?

Cheers

hey mate,

not sure what the rules are in other states, but in SA. you need a brake light at eye-level. so either a light in the spoiler or a brake light in the rear parcel self. so i suggest to go to your transport place in your state, ask them if its a defect and yeah go from there.

but i have a feeling you'll need one. they can be bought from places like supercheap auto etc... and are easily wired.

hope that helps!

cheers

That is what I thought, thanks for that.

I think it would be a bit difficult to cut out a brake light recess into the drift wing. I guess I might have to rig one up into the rear parcel shelf. Not that keen on having it there - but rules are rules. That is the sort of excuse most insurance companies look for to get out of honouring a claim.

Most people I have seen with the little drift wing do not have a brake light in the wing or the parcel shelf.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By sonicii · Posted

      How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
