Hi everybody.. I got an s1 r33 and wanna take the stock rear spoiler off, but i dont want the obvious holes and the imprint of the spoiler to be left behind. Anyone know any good places in Melb that will take it off for me and smooth it out? Also, would I have to respray the boot or is it a small job?

And does anyone know roughly how much it would cost?

cheers guys

my opinion, you should take it off yourself... its easy

and then take off the boot......

then give it to a spray shop.. for them to re-spray it...

that way its cheaper for labour...and you dont have to leave your car there for apprentices to do dounuts in...........

yes it has to be re-sprayed.... because they putty up the holes and they sand it smooth then coat it.

See my car has 2 spoilers, one mini drift one and the norma series one spoiler. I just wanna keep the drift one on. but yeah, my car is too low to get into my driveway so i dont garage it :D ...So if i was to take it off and take it to a mech my car woud have no boot lol..so guess i can jus take the spoiler off and get a mech to do the rest. u kno any good places that do this?

DT panels, 12 Lightwood Drive (or Street, can't remember) Springvale.

Talk to Vu (evilsub on forums) can't remember the number off my head but it should be on sticky threads on Victoria section, have a look there.

Hey. Yeah they'll have to weld up and patch all holes then fill to re-straighten because the welding pulls the panel steel around. Then respray. We usually charge about 350 for it. Doesn't cost any diff whether you take whole car in or remove yourself.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
