Why do it? I dont get it!!

Is there some sort of Japanesse fad to do this that we hooked onto and thought yep, i need to wreck my car like those guys?

STOP IT! If you have removed it put it back on, if your mate has removed his, gently take him aside and advise him to put it back on.

sorry for the rant.

pfft! man people do it cause they want to do it. some like the look and others dont its called personal taste.

It often varies human to human on all aspects of life.

I feel like shooting these people, When i bought my GTR From Japan it was Wingless , i wouldnt drive it unless it had a Wing ;) Good Topic man..

I just bought one the other day and I couldnt believe how heavy it is ;)

GTS-T's I think look good if its pulled off right but I havent seen a GTR that looks good without one unless it has the lip.

Each to their own though :D

totally agree with the person who started this thread

sometimes being different or unique isn't the best thing. emo's are different, but they sure as hell aren't a good thing!

in my eyes, removing the GTR spoiler is like taking the icing off a chocolate cake. the underneath is good, but withut the icing its just not the same thing.

if you want to save weight then i assume that you also run a gutted boot and no rear seats. also, whats the point of a rear bumper when you're at the strip? or that passneger seat?

give me a break, the "saving weight" argument is flawed..

I'm with you. The car was designed with that aero piece. Why did you buy a well sorted sports car and then decide to ruin the way it drives?

If you want a car for its looks and don't care how it drives, stick to Celicas and Preludes (or Hyundai Coupes and Integras now).

just to make things clear, i wasnt referring to the weight saving, but the aerodynamic improvement. i remember reading about a drag car in japan, it was fast, like in the 9sec bracket, and from memory it had an adjustable spoiler, not unlike the factory one, and when changing from full downforce, to none at all, made nearly 1 full second difference, so removing the stock one would make a difference, maybe not that much but its a free gain isnt it

er i think people have the freedom to do what they want with THEIR cars... you might think it looks shit but they might think it looks awesome...

i sometimes removed mine, got over the look and put it back on for a few months, then removed it again.. sold it with it removed..

they are pretty heavy and prob make f**k all difference under 100kmh

I am with you on that one. It just dont look right...As for weight...heavy ?? try beefing up your arms you skinny weasels out there. I hate to see such a classic butchered...but not quite as dumb as people who put ridiculous 20" + heavy chrome wheels and 200kg of hi fi into a sports car...thats really dumb

my 32 gtst had a gtr wing and other gtr bits, i removed it because ppl always thought it was a gtr n they would get all exited and say to there mates that they beat a gtr, i think some look good with and some look good without, all mine was probaly good for was to hang ya wet clothes off and thed be dry by the time you got too work :P

Yes but going up and down a drag strip doesn't really require much in the way of grip, too bad if he needed to take a 240km/ph sweeper with the rear wing removed....

Guest trikdoutvl

lol its ok to take a wing off but its not cool to have the holes left behind when the wings taken off.... if ur gonna take it off get ur boot bogged n resprayed so theres no holes....

wing off wing on its still a skyline so its all good IMO

Why do people put on ugly ass kits on skylines? Cause they want to! Who cares what other people do to their cars. If it looks like ass, it'll just make your car look better.

Good call, massive stereos, butt ugly body kits, crap rims, no spoiler or massive wang.......yard to swallow at times but you don't have to ride around in it so why care? Some people also like wearing white shoes but It doesn't make me want to belt them (most of the time) :P

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
