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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
