Fair enough that some of you do drive your cars in a way that actually makes use of a spoiler, however, is a GT wing really what you have to have? I remember reading that the tiny little ducktail wings you see on the BMW M3 provide some massive amount of downforce just from that little bit of well engineered placement. These huge (and in my opinion, ugly) wings really aren't that necessary unless you're talking about humungous speeds.

yeah you are right - thats why i dont have one yet - just looking atm

ps. one possible fix is to sell the r32 and buy an M3 i think :D

This topic has been debated hundreds of times...I had actually also posted up a thread a while back... LOL

Mate, from my thread's poll, the GTR wing won hands down...if that's any info for you...it comes down to personal preference mate..

the nismo site has one but i'm not sure if the psi part's one sits flush or not...i rang fibrevision last night and they said it is $750 plus shipping or he can re-mold my old boot for about $650, he recommended the whole new boot though because of the weight side of things. hmm what to do...

I don't really like spoilers much but the flush boot lid still looks a little funny to me. It almost makes it look like it could be a different car if you saw from another angle...

Initially I hated the look of a despoilered r33 because it didn't sit flush but now I've come to quite like that look, definitely the way I'll go if when I find a r33 and it hasn't already been despoilered.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
