Hey Guys/Gals

Just did some searching on here and found a few threads on how to remove a R33 stock spoiler, However i cant find anything that tells he how big the holes in the bonnet are once removed......

Can anyone help, as i was going to get plugs to fill the holes till i can afford to get it filled and painted...

All hep appreciated.

And Please done flame if you have found it in another thread as i HAVE looked but couldnt find it...

Good question, i thought about doing this myself, removing spoiler, getting a rubber grommet and spraying white to plug the hole. If its a temporary fix, you could use some really good quality, sticky cloth tape which would do a good job sealing the hole from the inside.

Are you thinking of leaving your car without a spoiler/stealth lip?

Yeha mate wanted to leave it without the spoiler and was going to plug the holes up for a while and eventually would get then filled sanded and painted but yeah cant afford to get that done straight away so this is a temporary change...

Where do you reckon you will get the grommet pluggs from? Mitre 10 or a hardwhare place?

Nice 1.... Tried to remove spoiler on the weekend... was a piss poor attempt really got all the screws undone 6 over all i think there was.... But i was to afraid to rip the spoiler off at its connected to the boost with an adhesive..... I tried to use string fishing line to break the seal, however that didnt work...... Any idea for loosening the adhesive ?

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
