Hey guys,

Me, Mark (Marco-R34GTT), and Andrew (Fei-Sti Rex) are trying to remove Andrew's rear spoiler on his R34 GT-T. We have removed the 4 bolts, but cannot remove the last two clips that are holding the spoiler in place... We've tried everything to get these two clips out but we just can't do it..... It is just a stock couple rear spoiler... It is late, getting desperate, SOS!

Thanks..

I stand to be corrected, but when me and a couple of mates got together a few months ago to help remove the same wing from my friend's R34 GTT... after having done what you've done so far, we then had to unbolt 2-4 other bots holding the wing in place from within the boot itself from the inside.

What you'll have to do and I caution you that if you don't do this delicately, there will be a huge tear in the teal inside your boot which makes it ugly as... but yeah, you'll have to cut the sheet of metal from the inside of the boot and unscew the boot that way.

That's what we had to do, not sure if there are any other ways...

Good luck.

what do you use to cut the metal?

sh*t never knew a stock spoiler would bring so much misery and pain in trying to remove it!!!

yeah what do you use and umm.. your solution seems to be the only feasible one running through my mind at the moment...

cheers mate,

Andrew :thumbsup:

LOL dont cut anything you crazy mofos!

the last two clips (should be 3 holes in the boot, the centre ones are the big clip) are easy to remove. Get a mate to help (sounds like you have them :thumbsup:) and get a flat head screw driver.

Get the screw drivers head against one side of the clip, lever the screw driver so it pushes the side of the clip in and slowly lift the spoiler. This will cause the one side of the clip holding the spoiler in place to remain pushed against the hole in the boot, and therefore not clipping! Then be very careful, hold it in that position and place the screw driver on the other side of the clip. Lever, lift and hey presto the clip is out. repeat for the other side obviously. If your not careful when holding the spoiler with half the clip out, it will slip down and clip back in, making you start again.

Any more questions or explaining please ask, but dont cut anything is all i can say. Thats ridiculous.

Grant has the right idea, thats how i removed mine.

Takes abit of force depending on the double sided tape holding it down

good luck!

well i passed the pits just then, putting front bar and side skirts back on tonight as well as my new 18'' Enkei's...

wing is coming off TONIGHT! hehe

Grant mate great idea, looks like i'll be trying that tonight hahaha cheers guys, will keep you all updated

Andrew :D

Hey so how did u go with this? I took mine off not too long ago...it just needed a bit of extra force to pull it off...(which, i admit, stupidly...was out of pure frustration haha) but luckily enough it was the right trick that was needed all along...

lol we ended up using a drill...

japanese double sided tape = worst b*tch ever...

have to weld up the holes now lol but yeah, looks way better without the GTT wing, GTT wing only looks good on cars like 300ZX etc.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
