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:

geez what a hassle just to get a spoiler off. i think i will just leave it on for now. cauz i just wanted to take it off to see what it would look like. see if i liked it.

but im still looking for some pic's of some maroon 32's with no spoiler.

thanks for your replys.

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.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
