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'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
