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.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
