nah you can do it yourself i did mine, take off all bolts, and yeah theres glue. what i did was wrapped a flathead screw driver in electrical tape so it doesnt scratch the paint, wedge it in and push it up then when theres bit of a gap i used a stanly knife and cut through sum of the glue to make it easier, then eventually pull hard =]

ok mad, so wat about all the glue that will be stuck to the boot? and wat about the holes?

you can get a cleaning solution from the car shops for the sticky stuff, not sure what its called, haven't used it in a while.

as for holes, make a visit to bunnings for some plastic plugs, works a treat :P

i used eucalyptus oil and a cloth and got all of it off perfectly. scrube hard n makes it nice n shiny too, doesnt damage the paint or anything. ..as for the holes pop down to super cheap auto and get few packs of rubber grommets, does the job perfectly.

There are also some plastic clip in fasteners two on each side if i remember right.There are 4, one in each corner. you can see 3 of them in this pic and where the 4th one is missing. on mine they were VERY tight to the point of the old wing cracking above where one of the plastic clips were.

I am removing mine too.... I'm debadging mine before I turn it into a sleeper... if a 33 could ever be considered one... there are heaps in my town which are rice'd up and modded up.... just gonna keep the stocko look without badges :D

Get the bonet painted at the same time as das boot lid =D

what reason are you removing it for?

Im taking mine off, its the real square looking one and i don't like the way it makes the car look so square. if i had one of the standard rounded ones i wouldn't hate it so much. but even though the boot was designed to house a spoiler i don't mind the look of them without one

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
