Spoiler Hitting Roof...?

Howdy all,

I Just recieved the RACV vehicle test info about my soon to be mine series 2 Stagea. There were a few minor issues, some paint chips etc, adjustable suspension (nice bonus..??). They also reported that the steering wheel tiptronic buttons didn't work, but on talking with the dealer he assured me there is a button to activate it and most likely the racv guys didnt know about, so I hope that is indeed the case when I take it for a test drive tomorrow.

The other odd thing mentioned was that the rear tailgate spoiler hits the roof when the tailgate is raised. Is that normal??? If not, is it easy enough to rectify? As far as I know the body-kit is a factory job, but has a more aggresive look than the standard kit, I wasn't really paying to much attention to the bodykit, just the feature set and low kays were my main priority....

Any help would be great,

Cheers,

Jeff

I have an aftermarket 260RS spoiler and it doesn't hit the roof, but it does have a very small tolerance between itself and the roof. My guess is someone has installed it incorrectly, or it's moved somehow since initial fitting.

when you put the shifter into manual mode , there is a switch next to the shifter, an icon will appear on the dash below the gear selection light and the buttons will work.

My rear spoiler doesn`t come close.

Went to re-check out the car today, the guy told me ANOTHER 1-2 weeks for complience... he told be that 2 weeks ago... Anyway, steering buttons did work, it was just the extra button.

The spoiler on the other hand, does foul the roof, but only just. Its not actually hitting the roof, but rather the very back edge of the roof racks, and its so slight that it really is not worth the worry. I did find a small crack in the front spoiler which he will repair. I took some pics, but only with a phone so they are a little dodgey.

Mines the one with the tempory plates hanging off the back, so its been lowered a fair bit as you can see. The wheels had some curb damage on them, so he's going to swap them for the mags on the Stagea next to mine in this pic.

Here's the spoiler type. Is this a standard factory spoiler option or aftermarket?

And here's mine from the front, you can see the small crack at the bottom right. Is this a factory front option or aftermarket again? Either way, I'm in love with it already!!

the front bar is a 260rs front bar. its a factory option copy, same as mine. if its low be prepared to crack it some more as mine got repaired before sale and a week later hit my first kerb. im up to 4 cracks now but nothing huge. rear wing is not standard . looks the goods. enjoy and get ready for the comments

Nope, that rear spoiler isn't standard, and the front bar is an s2 260RS unit (or copy), as Jerome has said.

I'll have a scan through my HyperRev magazines to see if I can identify who makes the spoiler.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
