Hi guys

I'm considering abt keep or get rid of my NISOM wing on my R34 GTT. The car is black and the wing is the real set from jap came with the car, which means it cost a lot!!! Around $800 for the real 3 piece set in Jap!!!

I have pics here, so what u guys think? Back to standard one? Or keep it?

Looks like this, but all in black.

It's quite a task to remove the factory aero wing, i believe theres about 8 bolts (2 on each rear quarter panel and 4 in the bootlid) So unless you completly can't stand it, i'd carefully consider

I remember one guy on here, said he paid up to 2K to remove the wing, weld the holes and respray the 3 panels, so it's a costly project unless you want rust coming through

Most people on here hate that wing but i love it haha, it looks nice if you got a big bodykit to go with it

All the best

Mmmm gotta say dude, in my opinion its yuck. Worst spoiler ever made. May be expensive, but i would pay someone to take it away for me.

I say take it off, sell it, you could get some money for it.

Each to their own of course though

try 7 on each quarter panel and 2 on the bootlid

no joke

dude get rid of it

its way too big a it destroys the rear look of the car.

i had it on mine and its the best thing i ever done

unfortunately there are 6 bolt holes on each guard for those ugly side pieces, so even if you change to a stock/gtr wing you will need someone to patch it up..

cost me $1350. all holes led filled was $350 and undercoated(a friend of a friend done it) could cost upto $700.

and i got the rear reprayed for $1000.

check my gallery pics you'll see the difference.

Why? Sorry man I didnt get it?

I was commenting on the other guys post,

sorry I'll be more constructive for you

in my opinion it's a big undertaking to remove the nismo spoiler and should only be done properly, no shortcuts.

There will a total of 7 bolt holes on each rear quarter which will need to be patched up, if you are going for the wingless look the 4 bolt holes on the boot will have to be filled in as well, if you want to add a spoiler than don't worry

that still leaves the 14 bolt holes which will need to be patched up for the rear quarters.

welding plates behind and bogging the holes will be cheaper but rust can still happen and the rear quarters can warp if a rush job is done so paying the little bit extra for a proper job will be better for the long run (ie; the panel shop should solder the holes up, not weld plates in and bog, blend paint from the roof back etc so it was as if the car never left the factory with that ghastly spoiler)

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
