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....

that's why i brought rubber grommets for mine, so that if one day i decide to put the ugly standard spoiler back on i still can. or you can do dori spec duct/gaffa tape haha.

In answer to the original post....."BECAUSE I f**kING CAN" :)

But its true the spoiler does actually have a purpose. If u cant find a wind tunnel and u really wanna see jus stick 6" strands of wool all over ur car and drive behind it. Or alternatively get the book 21st century performance...some pics of this in action.

I have submitted the case for r32 GTR's international heritage listing to the appropriate governing bodies and am awaiting a reply(the case looks strong).

If passed all modified road cars must be returned to stock where feasible, any further/future modifications must be submitted in triplicate to the board and passed through a 3 panel approval process, With some of the more culturally significant examples they will be confiscated and housed in an enormous plastic bubble where you will be allowed to occasionally view your car for a nominal cost.

Enough silliness....if you own it you have the right to turn it into any abomination you please.....hell set it ablaze and dance naked around the furgler for all myself and anyone else should care. :)

GTR owners touting 'practicality is king', seems to me like camry owners saying 'the performance is outstanding' hehe.

No the camry owners saying 'the performance is outstanding' is like a Gtst owner saying ' it's more practical than a GTR..' ........practical performance like a camry that is. :D

my 33 GTR will be wingless soon because i feel like it :D

the boot lid with the gtr wing will be replaced with the spare boot lid I have with a ducktail on it so it wont have any holes or will look like its missing something.

That looks pretty frigging good! Mine looks like that, but I want like mudflaps, the sort that mold into the bumper, sorta like an add on like what you can do with the R33 GTR's. Kinda tops it off I guess.

What those rims you got?

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
