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.

when i got mine it still didn't work so i pulled the auto surround of and found that the plug to that button was disconnected.

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.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
