carmate stuff i had a front bar didnt line up under drivers headlight, rear bar didnt fit correctly on the rear with gaps...lot of work but as said above with spoiler on two spots really need to line up for fitment so not much chance of problems compared to bars and skirts...pricing they are good quality just luck of the draw

my old r34 had a carmate spoiler on it, get the low mount one, it does get in the way of rear vision but it's not too bad

I've seen the high mount one on a GT-t and it was ridiculously high, funny looking

it did the job and the bolt holes lined up so I'm happy, that's as far as i'd go to putting fibreglass on my car personally, not a fan of fibreglass bodykits

Does the CarMate version have an adjustable rear fin?

I agree with getting the low-mount one only.

Since CarMate sell F/G, run your hand over it to check that there are no ripples. If it's smoooooooth, and once it's painted, no-one will know the difference if it's F/G or Plastic. Rear fin could have a C/F look to it (or bronze).

alright cheers guys, thanks for the pics

it looks like it'd turn out pretty good once fitted and sprayed, was worried about how the final product looked, but that looks fine

im currently using the stock gt wing, and even that gets in the way of the rear view mirror a bit, but not really a problem for me, but i'd definitely get the low one, it looks like a good height from the pictures too.

yeah i was wondering about that too, the carbon fibre look is great, looks like its meant to be

you can buy carbon fibre wrapping paper, but i doubt that was how it was done, it looks wayy too good for that

How sturdy is this thing ? Not sure it'd be so great if instead of creating downforce it ripped off and flew away into someone's windshield at high speed...

haha yeah i guess that is another thing to consider, it really cant be that bad though can it?

carmate is a pretty big site too, im sure they wouldnt sell stuff that is likely to fly off while driving .. or would they :|

R34P3R the pictures up on the first post of the pics go from low to highest. unfortunately they only show the high spoiler actually installed on the car. I prefer a low-medium spoiler personally, not really into ones that go too high.

to answer a few extra questions posed...

rear fin came c/f not real carbon but fibreglass with c/f top, kind of like how some c/f bonnets come.

wing was not adjustable, but at least it looked like it could lol

wing is sturdy, I live in western sydney so pot holes are a way of life, and I'm a lead foot too, it held up very well

that being said I am very iffy of carmates quality, as I said before that's as far as i'd go to putting fibreglass on my car

the wing was sturdy though so I was happy with it, you could place a bit of force with your hand in the middle of the wing and it wouldn't bend

I had it painted from a friend and fitted the wing myself, make sure you have some silicon or double sided tape to place around the bolt holes on the boot so no water leaks in

the only one that looks good is the low mount imo

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
