what did u pay for the new wing?

bought off a forum member for $350

if you dont mind me asking, how much did it cost you to repair the guards?

Not repaired yet, cheapest quote I've gotten so far from a panel-beater is for $1400. That's to weld up some metal plates to the inside of the boot, then puttying up the holes properly and blending the paintwork from the roof so no-one can tell there was ever that abomination of a wing.

I can probably get a simple bog and spray job done for $600, but in the long run it always ends up looking shit down the track and have to be re-done anyway

Just want a proper job done first time, between work and TAFE just no free time to get it done :ninja: !

like I said I can get a rush job done and have it look like sh*t down the track,

That quote is from a professional nrma endorsed panel beater, they fixed my sisters car when she got in a prang and it came out looking better than before.

The job would involve removing trims, panels and rubber seals so there is no overspray

That $150-$200 would be for welding all 14 holes? If so I'm driving to queensland :( !

Well now i am grateful that when i put it on ages ago, it was done with silicon :P

That would've been HEAPS betta :D !

I like how Nissan thought...

Yeah just drill into the damn thing, it's gonna be covered up anyway with a massive ginormous wing,

oh and make sure you drill 7 holes into each side...

This sucker's gonna be heavy! :)

Alrite, I was able to talk the panelbeaters into a discount.

Should be complete very soon... weird feeling now that I've mostly done everything I wanted to.

Should only be a matter of time before my attention turns to the Z *here we go again* :sweat::teehee:

Hey mate i think the person who designed that original wing must have the sexiest car in the universe.

I trust you burnt all the remaining evidence of that wing..

I like the wingless look.. mainly cos of ur sweet ass rear bar. But with ur new wing it just says "dont f*#k with me im quick." I love it. now go clean it and have sex in it..

What type of rear bar is that exaclty?

Also do you kno if that new wing can replace the original wings that most of us have without stuffing around with covering up holes?

When i replaced my Nismo wing (trolley). The bolts on the OEM R34 GTR ones lined up perfectly.

and i sold my Nismo one for $200 XD! why somone bought it.... i dont know..

Looking at the one you've put on, it doesn't have the adjustable side pieces. They have aftermarket ones exactly like the OEM ones but just aren't lol.

Thanks man,

It's a genuine nismo rear bar, but you can probably buy a fibreglass copy looks absolutely mean when combined with the aero or "altia" bodykit.

The rear wing if you look closely covers up the old bolt holes, but uses the original holes to bolt on, no muss no fuss.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
