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.

Can I see a pic? I'm intrigued!

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 :)

Exactly! such a shock for me LOL.. bastard wont come off..

oh well see i was thinking, here guys help me out... if i remove the whole spoiler off and swap it for the standard one will the holes on the boot match up and screw to fit the standard spoiler??

and one more thing where did u get that qoute for $600?? pj

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.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
