hi, im thinking of adding kits to the car..currently it has some wing i dont have a clue of..its nice but i like the blade style wings better. what do u think? i have a r33 gtst s1 btw. and to install it..will i need a newbootlid? or should i get those small stealthwings(or whatever they r called) to level the bootlid sides to the guards and then add the wing? i might add a new kit to it later with new set of guards. so should i do that first? or are all kit guards of same height? cheers

p.s. ppl who have this wing..do they have them ever painted? just wondering cuz i never seen any painted ones

Mate, is that car photoshopped? It doesnt look real!!

You dont need to get a new boot lid, just drill a few holes in your old one. The duck wing spoiler will help to level the boot out, but just do what I'm doing and get it fibreglassed to sit flush. Gives a different look. Otherwise you can just leave it. Looks ok that way.

Yeh, same thing.

Duck wing, D-wing, Drift-wing, stealth wing. It all means the same. Most cars with GT Wings have stealth wings as well. Some dont bother, have a look at CRAVED's for an example of that, and I have never seen an R33 skyline with a flush fitting boot lid. Although I want 2 do that to mine.

Cheers Dale, thats exactly what I'm looking for. So you stock them? What would be cheaper, get mine modified, or buy one already done?

We do not stock the bootlid at the moment, we were considering it however there has been a lack of interest. We do however stock the Drift Wing.

I would personally buy a new one, as if you were to modify your current bootlid then there would be a massive amount of bog/fibreglass to add to make it sit flush. Although you could create a skeleton piece to raise the lid, you might not get the strength you desire to mount a GT wing.

I like the look of going flush and wingless. Any changes on getting some of the boots, or can you recommend anyone else who sells them?

i need to bite here

everyone says the GT wing is rice - but when it allows me to carry atleast an extra 10km/h through the kink at wakefield i dont think it is, and the added braking stability it offers after the kink is really noticeable.

while most dont use it for what it is for, some do - so the generalisation really annoys me lol

As for the flush section - of the cars that run the lip and a GT wing it doesnt look right to me, also forces you to move the wing forward reducing its effectiveness.

any way you go with a GT wing you need to put some effort into the mounting area, the skin of a boot inst the most stable surface to mount a wing that works on. if you put the GT wing on and nothign else, you need to weld up the boot lid to remove the old holes and then repaint it..

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
