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.

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
