Hi All,

Silly question, but I thought I would ask before I go ripping something I cant afford to fix :thumbsup:

I want to remove the R32 spoiler, but I have gotten rid of all the bolts underneath. Next step is lifting it up. Im assuming its held down by something along the lines of double sided tape? Mine seems like a bitch to get off. The cars also had a respray, so going by the way they did the rest of the car im hoping it is actually blue underneath!!

Any help would be appreciated :thumbsup:

It's double sided tape and it is a bitch to get off. I've got a spare boot lid with a spoiler I wanted to take off and it took two grown men to take off the spoiler. The tape did its job really well. And for the paint, I would imagine that it will damage the paint if you try to clean off the excess glue or rip the paint out with the spoiler.

If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't take it off. I wouldn't want risk the paint work.

Cheers

Yeah, probably a good idea. The tape also I was a little cautious of because I dont want any more rattles in the car because the suspesion is stiff as hell and if it doesnt go back properly it will probably just rattle.

Cheers

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
