well i've got a big wide GTR style wing on my car, and i'm not a huge fan of batmobile spoilers. And once i lower the car a little more over the 18's a boot lip spoiler will look better from all angles. It's not much for the spoiler, but it's the painting and fitting. I've got other priorities on the car that need attention first!!! but when something cheap comes up it's almost like you are saving money by buying it!! lol

Friski, i will post a group buy in the Victoria section and see what happens. Either way i'm down for one.

A couple more questions:

1. How do you put the Hella 3rd brake light in?

2. From the gel coat, is it ready to paint or does it need futher prep?

Cheers :)

they are the signal auto japan drift wings :P hehe just thought i'd inform yas, they lok awesome :) if i didn't just put a veilside wing on my car i would have got one :rofl:

adrian :)

1. It's places on the parcel tray wired of one of the brake light wires.

2. From gel coat slight sand down (there is no riples in the spoiler) then ready for prime coat and then colour plus clear.

gel coat needs to be removed and primed before painting (spoke to a panel beater today)... its costing me $200 but i know the guy so its probably pretty cheap :/

Sorry can't do much about the gel coat as it needs to be applied so the fibreglass doesn't stay stuck to the mould.

Damnit, now I'm interested too ....... Does Bodyform also paint & fit for extra $$$ ?

Reason I ask is a rock just took out one of my sideskirts and I'm looking at sourcing some however will need to have them painted also .... do they have a range of R33 side skirts available ? do they have a website ?

If they do not paint & fit, any recommendations for a good place in Syd ?

Sorry for all the questions .....

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • Yea pedal box and no abs
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
