I was wondering, the R33 coupe comes with a spoiler as standard. Now if i remove the spolier, the trunk is not even with the sides of the car. I did see some cars having a trunk which matches the sides of the car LIKE in a 4-door R33. May i ask how did they do it? Maybe take a trunk from a 4-door and fit it onto a R33 Coupe?

it would cost more to get the fibreglass extensions wouldnt it? by the time, the cut/mould the fibreglass, attatch it to the existing boot, respray the whole boot again, then u have to pay for labour aswell

you can get a fibreglass one for around 500 and a carbon fibre one for around 900ish from memory..

it would only be illegal if the cop took a close eye and actually defected you for it, but i dont think they would be taking much notice of the boot, but thats just my opinion:)

Hey, I'm 18. Do you think I really give a shit?? :P But carbon fibre? :) Then carbon bonnet, and mirrors, and it'll be all good! I think I'm in love...

if u didnt give a shit u wouldnt be replying in the thread :) but i see where ya comin from...once again personal preference for carbon fibre haha

Duck wing, Drift wing, D-Wing, Stealth wing, its all the same thing. EVERYONE has those on their cars. I agree they do look pretty cool, but I prefer the look of the flush fitting boot, plus its rarer, and that is what I'm looking at doing with my car, making it unique.

Yeh, it looks too wierd with a carbon bootlid and normal bonnet, like the car is going backwards. If u get a carbon boot, better get a carbon bonnet, and the thing between the side windows, and carbon fibre mirrors. Even carbon fibre door handles and rims! And my mind has wandered off again...

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
