spoliers are an extension of the car that doesnt need to be there

my supra-no spolier

my gtr - no spolier or lip

my new 200sx now spoiler

they r so not needed imo

if i had a porche i would still take it off i just hate them

they remind me of those little off the boat asian dudes with civics with 5 inch exhaust and 2 foot high t wings

i hate it when people put spoilers from other cars on theres ie r34 spolier on a silvia or something

and most of all i hate those devil horn looking spoilers where the poofs get a massive spoiler and remove the middle bar from it so the back of the car has horns ewwwwwww

r33 gts-t's just look weird without a rear spoiler. it really shows off the 'whale' aspect of it.

now take the wing off a s13 and it will look sweet as. but on r33 gtst's it is not advisable hahaha.

Totally agree, im the same with badges as well.

Regardless, 33 gtr are nice and all but the spoiler is played out, one its ugly as sin imo, 2 it weighs a tone, 3 its on more gts's then on gtrs.

I think that a GTR looks better with its wing but without the wing ain't that bad!!! I have seen FAR worse modifications to a car than taking the wing off

Aww nice so that's what mine would look like :)

I do like the R32's without wings but leave mine on for the sheer fact that I dont have to listen to this type of stuff in this thread! lol

I also really really like R33's with just that lip on the rear boot lid...Like Danni R33 had from JMS!

Sorry was looking for wing removal threads and came across this and cant see why theres a big fuss. Everyone is different. Personally when done right, wingless is just plain sexy. Most wings also.. especially the 34gtr wings imo, make it just as mean and sexy. Every part has to compliment every other smoothly. Otherwise you might as well put a big dildo on the roof to stand out. But hey I bet some chicks would be keen for a ride.

But seriously thats why i love skylines, cos however you have it, wing or no wing (any model) If i had the cash id have one of everything, they just look sic! Have a coke and a smile and enjoy ur own ride, Ya dig? Peace

Whatever blows ur hair back..

people who change GTR rims for heavier chrome rims I never understood. factory GTR rims are like 5 ot 6kg each. lightest rims you can get for the price.

Agree,

Not quite sure your right about the weight of them though! Saw a r32 gtr at Speed on the Tweed, charcoal grey, no spoiler, and 19 inch cheap-arse chrommies. The guy is an sau member [had the sticker]. Was not a good example of what a r32 should look like [in my personal opinion]. Pissed me off actually lol. Im sure a mint stock looking car would have got alot more attention. Also Met Jim Richards there... great guy!!!!!

to me, an r32 gtr with no rear spoiler is like a women with awesome hips, but no tits! :(

HAHA!!

Thanks buddy! Do you want to sell me your spoiler, I could do with a Stock R32 GTR spoiler.

I think the R34 GTR stock spoiler (On a R34 GTR) is a Must. Looks tuff!

R33 is a must or it can look weird and for the R32, either way looks good.

I like the wing on my GTT, that or a nice understated and low GT wing. However, do what ever you like, it's all personal choice and opinion. The only time where I might suggest someone put a wing back on or put a drag back on has been said many times before... R33.

Cheers.

Each to their own. Build your car to make yourself happy, not to make others happy.

I have, see!!!!! I think you will agree I am a master at fabrication!

Seriously though does anyone know where I can get a drag spoiler for a 32GTR from that will ship to the U.K? Dont fancy making my own!

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
