hey guys just after some advice,

I do not like looking at that MASSIVE Factory nismo spoiler on my r34 gtt coupe (the wrap over) :rolleyes:

Been thinking of removing the thing... does anyone have any advice?

Cost, level of work and maybe a place that does it?

cheers

there are a lot of bolt holes if you remove the spoiler, I asked around about welding and leveling the holes, quite expensive.. I think asking over $1k

Ohh mann.. what the hell is with these japs and massive spoilers!! loll there i was thinking wen i bought it ohh yehh its not a big deal it'll pop off

cheers, anyone else please?

that's a load of crap, over $1k my arse.

But look, the reality is you will have to get the holes welded again then the whole boot will have to be repainted.

Here's the drill - to repain whole boot you will be looking at at least $300.00, welding should cost around $100.

Without further details on whether you want to go wingless or install another wing - I can only assume you will go wingless - if this is the case, then you you will be looking at around $500.00 max for this exercise.

On the other hand, if you want another wing - then of course you will have to buy one (price depends on the wing) then get it professional painted which will be another $250 or so, so yeah.... that's it in a nutshell.

Actually, talking about the R34 Nismo wing... I actually have it on my r33... I have a drift wing on it, then a bit further in, I got this wing without the wrap-around, looks aggressive as.

I would suggest that you take the wrap-around off and just leave the wing on it's on free-standing - looks aggressive as - but yeah, I would also move it in a bit, it's sticking too much towards the end of the boot which makes it look awkard.

good luck.

HAHAA yeah i heard that once from someone!

Yeh well sounds like the side things will have to go, would repainting cost a fair bit for the rear sides? how much would i need to paint there?

Bro, if you shop around you should be able to do this under $800.00. You gotta shop around bro.

Good luck.

i removed my wing

got small plugs to fill the holes

cheap and effective

wing on

wing off

wing on

wing off

Are we talking about the same wing here?

Coz the R34 altia wing or nismo wing has about 7 gaping holes on the rear quarter panels where the corner parts of the wing are fixed...

ADZR34: I was thinking exactly the same when I bought my car... not a problem, I'll just take off the corner parts when I get home. Man did I get a rude shock!

The best quote I've got so far is $600 to take the corners off, $900 if I wanted the centre piece off aswell. That's to weld the holes shut & repaint the whole area. I'd have had it done already if not for getting my rims, & Intercooler first etc.

The scary thing is, the wing is actually starting to grow on me lol I'd better get it done soon before i start liking it.

Everyone at my work had the same reaction, they thought it was hideous but now they like it :)

lol I got the bastard off eventually, just left 7 Humongous holes in the quarter panels.

Spoiler part on the boot should use the same bolt holes. Car companies like to make interchangeable parts to save money

Quote was from extreme bodykits in Wetherill Park Sydney, $600 for just the quarter panels. $900 to remove the spoiler aswell altogether.

Although he did the bodykit on my old R33 so he gave me a better price than usual.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
