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.

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
