just wondering where a good reliable place would be to get the spoiler off my r33. or does any one know how to? i undid all the bolts and it stil didnt come off, it must be glued down some how.

wat can i do about the brake light too? can i reposition it some where or dont i need it? r the tail lights good enough, for rego and cop reasons

What type of spoiler is it?

If its a standard one im pretty sure there are plastic clips on either side that you need to "pop" the spoiler out of (you need to apply a bit of force if its never been taken out).

If its glued down, its going to potentially damage the paint on the boot. It sounds weird its bolted + glued down; but wouldnt be the first time haha.

In regards to the brake light, obviously its fine not to have it there, and i highly doubt you would get pinched over something like that... because instead of having the LED light as an extra notification to the people behind you that you are braking, all of your tail lights would just illuminate when you put your foot on the brake like normal...

my gtr wing was glued down.... farked it trying to get it off. never did get it off.

keep the spoiler on there and find another bootlid if you want it to be easy... otherwise you'll have to take it to a panel beater and they will have to rub it back and spray after getting the spoiler off, they may also damage the bootlid getting it off.

thanks guys, i got it off today. looks heaps good, apart from built up dust and shit like that. its just a series one spoiler btw. how much do u reckon a smash repairs would charge to weld the holes up and re paint it? would it be worth goin to a customs shop?

Welding holes would mean a full respray of the boot, because you would never match the panel colour again.

Easiest way man, if you want the "flat boot" look, is to get a "drift lip" which just adds a small lip on the end of your boot. Looks good & tonnes better then having that gap between either side of the rear quater panels to the boot.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
