Hey guys!

Picked up my r34 skyline not long ago and its a non turbo but has a GTR wing on it.. I like it and I'm keeping it, but I also like upgrading car audio.

I've got a low power temporary sub sitting in the boot at the moment and from inside the car sounds good, but from the exterior it's a different story.

The bit where the wing mounts onto the boot is ever so slightly loose and can be shut up if I jam something under it as small as a folded piece of paper, but is there a way to just tighten it??

Also, the adjustable part of it has actually bowed slightly and sits heavily on the rest of the spoiler, but when I've got the bass pumping, even at low levels, this rattles like crazy (again, only audible from outside the car). Does it just need adjusting up or is there another way to get around this??

i had a similar problem, had water leaking in through the spoiler holes and massive rattles

i created some 'gasket' to sit between the boot and the spoiler,

out of rubber mat from bunnings, worked perfectly,

stopped water leak and supressed the rattle heaps

had a similar problem with m r33 wing, i used the thick expensive clear 3m double sided tape underneath it to fix the problem

had it on my 32 as well (not from epic hektik subs - just noticed it at high speeds)

i removed the spoiler, discovered the water and rust

so i got a new boot with no spoiler holes :D

how to tell if its a fake fibreglass copy?

well look under neath the wing where the stands bolt to the wing, it should be a plate with 2 screws, if theres no screws and the stands just go straight to the bottom of thewing then its a copy.

oem one has a plate that screws to the stands with 2x 10mm bolts and then that bolts to the bottom of the wing with 2 screws or so.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
