Well car is gettin resprayed in a few weeks and im just wondering if i want the spoiler off. The problem im having is i cant just take it off for some reason. My mates s15 spoiler came straight off when we undid the bolts but mine is stuck.

Just wonderin if it has some sort of glue??

also dose anybody have any picks of red/maroon 32's with the back spoiler off?? the more the better, will make my decision easyer.

cheers

1. there are a few bolts which you can see under the boot lid, undo those.

2. the centre part of the spoiler is held on by a big 4-way clip. this is a b*tch to get off!

3. disconnect the brake light harness

4. all that's left is double sided tape, which is inbetween the spoiler and the boot lid. make sure you don't rip the paint off or leave any hefty scratches while taking the tape off.

hope that helps :no:

Not sure how many different style spoilers are out there for the 32's, but for my one, there was only 4 bolts altogether. 2 each side. There's some sort of glue holding the spoiler down as well. You'll need a bit of force to get them off.

I seriously wouldn't recommend taking the spoiler off 'just to see how it'll look' because the glue underneath it would be a pain in the arse to clean up. THAT and what happens when you don't like the look? You'll have to go out and get more glue. hahah

Up to you, but I reckon it'll be a pain in the arse if you just wanna see how it'll look.

even if you ripped off all the glue, the bolts alone will hold the spoiler down firmly

There are two types of spoiler for the 32. There's a type A and a type B spoiler. The type B spoiler mounts at the two ends and in the middle. The type A spoiler only mounts at the two ends of the boot.

Before you unbolt the spoiler make sure you disconnect the wiring for the high centre brake light. Then once you've unbolted it, it will just lift straight off.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
