R33 Spiler Removal

[n/aTurbo]

Hi there....

Fist time poster so forgive me if i seem a bit noobish...

Im just wondering how you would go about removiing a series 1 spoiler on a 1993 r33...

Asking because i have already removed the nuts and bolts, found 4 that i can see but still cant get it off.....

Now is this just because there are more bolts that i have overlooked or because of glue agents used to lock down the spoiler

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS...

[POLICE]

you just need to give it a lil bit more nudge, that what I did 4 my series 2 spoiler anyway

I tried doing that a couple of years ago to my old skyline....didn't work for me either.

I'll b e taking the wing off of series 2 soon, so hopefully I can put my 2 c in.

There would most likely me glue or some sort of double sided tape holding it down. On my sedan's boot, the spoiler was held on pretty tight by the tape as well. Just use a little more force, it'll come off.

Hey Police and Adam, fanx 4 the quick reply guyz...

Yer i didnt want to pull to hard after i took the bolts off.... thought it might do some damange and maby rip off the paint, lol...

I heard if u heat it up abit with a hair dryer, it should lift right off ...

Either way, ill give it another go 2moro morning ...ill let u know what happens...

Good luck with yourz lingeringsoul, hope it all works out ...

[POLICE]

it won't rip off the paint there should be rubber between the bootlid and the spoiler

[mitch33]

did you remove the grey carpet stuff from the boot lid cause from memory i think there are another two bolts under there

[adam-__-]

On my spoiler there were only four screws. Two on each side.

Using a hair dryer or heat gun will help taking the spoiler off of the glue/sticker. You'll have to scrub off all the left over glue/sticker as well and that might scratch the paint. Doesn't matter, you'll have to get a respray when you cover up the holes anyway.

Hey Guyz....thers how it looks like with the spoiler removed, and with the remaining plastic plugs...

I just took it off this afternoon, all it needed was abit more of a push...

Yer paint was fine, just a couple of plastic rubbers underneath, i broke one i think but should be alright since i aint gonna put it on again...

I didnt see any grey carpet from under the boot lid, there were only four screws from memory

Yer i was thinkin of gettin a drift wing, but thats when i have more funds available,lol

For now ill stick with just fixin up the boot.... i just need some quotes on prices for sealing the holes and spraying...

[adam-__-]

To cover up the holes, some people weld up the hole and then make it all smooth then respray. Some people use bog to cover and then smoothen up, spray.

I'm not too sure as to how much this would all cost, but to weld, I'm guessing around $400?

Yer thats alright, i got probally between 400-500 dollars 2 spend on it ....

But i would still like it to be quality work, anyone know a place that can do it in the south eastern areas of melb....

Heard good things bout DT Panels in Springvale...

[subie]

for $500 u can either buy drift wing for $300 and get it respray for around $200

same same mate

Yeah, always hear DT Panels come up when someones asking about a workshop. I live in the area, but have never got any work done from them. Always Jap cars out front. If you live in the area, why not drop by and ask for a closer price. Vu is the man you're supposed to see.

Would that include fitting...

Also, do all the bolts in the drift wing fit in the corresponding holes when i took off the stock spoiler or am i gonna have 2 punch a few more in my boot lid...

Only problem is, i wanna bring one of my mates with me coz his dealt with them before coz i heard there pretty bad when it comes 2 ripping ppl off.

Yer i might think bout it, but ive always preferred the no spoiler look, bit of personal taste there...

But hey once i feel bored with it, drift wing it is ...
