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 .....

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
