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..

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
