Hey guys,

My R34 came from Japan with the optional Altia aero wing (aka MASSIVE SHOPPING TROLLEY WING). It was the only thing I didn't like about the car, didn't realise what a pain in the ass it would be to have removed at the time...

Anyway, just thought I'd share some before and after photos.

I was originally going to go wingless which is nice, but seemed too "sedan-like" and plain to me.

I love how it looks now, but just wanted to see what others think ;)

All that's left to do now is fix up the 7 bolt holes left in the rear quarters by the old wing :domokun:

Cheers! :)

Shopping trolley wing in all it's glory...

i see you've got the same LED lights as mine, any idea what they're called/where you got em from?

I bought mine from Autojoy in Parramatta, but exact same you can buy from Just Jap

yeap, genuine plastic and proper grills on the bottom half, exxy to replace I'd imagine

Looks great with new wing fitted, that high wing was an absolute abortion :laugh:

:laughing-smiley-014:

The wingless look is ok, what spoils it majorly is the scratches/holes on the rear of the boot... and to paint that will cost you a few hundred easy, maybe half a grand so just leave that little wing on if money is an issue.

Funnily enough, even though I'm paying off 2 cars money isn't an issue as I still live at home. It's just finding the spare time off work to get it done :) I drive a company car to work and back so not really an issue to get it done straight away

Thanks everyone!

off topic, but on topic sorta. Which car do you prefer? the Z or the 34. Obviously they will both have good and bad, but what honestly do you like more?

Honestly, I like them equally, but for different reasons

My R34, being modified, has that distinct 'tuner' feel to it that makes it so addictive to drive, it's rough around the edges but is an absolute machine to drive (as you'd probably know :) )

The Z has a very refined finish being a newer car, it's fast, but makes it's power in a different way, almost V8 like... even when you're gunning it it doesn't feel as "fast" because the motor is effortless and has a great chassis. Actually draws less attention, people tend to snob me when I drive in the Z :D where I'll find people will wave or beep when I drive in the skyline.

I know I'll have to get rid of one or the other at some point when I bite the bullet and buy a house. Maybe sell both and buy a v36 skyline when they're available to import? updated looks and performance of the Z with a backseat for a future family someday?

It looks much better than the trolley wing but for some reason it doesn't suit the rest of your body, but is definitly a step up.

Wingless without dumping looks weird, it sits too high imo.

Looks good though :P

All I can say is, THAT'S A MUCH MUCH BETTER LOOK WITHOUT THE OLD WING. haha :P Good change. Wingless looks kinda funny as well, not sure why though, but good move. Looks much better. :happy:

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
