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!

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.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
