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..

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
