Hey guys, my friend just bought a series 1 33gtst, and on the dash, left side of the steering wheel, there's 2 buttons,,one says spoiler up and the other is spoiler down.

Now the car just has the normal S1 spoiler on it, we tried pressing the buttons and having a look over the car but it seems to do nothing. the buttons themselves look pretty standard (like they came stock with the car).

just wanna kno if any of u guys have or hav ever seen this.. i couldnt get a pic of it today, but will as soon as i see my friend.

the car was imported by the previous owner and he had no idea wat the buttons did.

wat u guys think?

chrrz

yeh strange, my mates 32 gtst has it too!

maybe jdm optional extra from the dealership?

yeah it is strange,,it doesnt seem to do anything at all though :D ..

we thought it could be somethin around the front bumper,,but nah, nothing there..

yeh, wud b an extra, but isnt doin anythin atm

Nissan did it factory in my R32 GTST. I checked on FAST and its definately meant to be there. All i have left is the buttons. The spoiler and actuators are sitting in my shed... probably about 25kg worth! :(

I have seen something similar in an old mate's car - (s1 33 gtst auto). It adjusted something at the front of the car, under/behind the front bar. I too mentioned "wtf?" at the time.

But it definitely used to adjust, you could hear the little motor going off - similar to the sound of your mirrors folding in and out.

I should have got a pic on the weekend but my friend said he'd send me one, so just waiting on that..its basically on the right of the aircon unit, jus 2 buttons one above the other.

yeah the head unit is an upgraded one and the arial works fine.

hey Psymon, so your car came with an adjustable spoiler? whars it look like?

pretty sure its for the spoiler under the front bar. look under the front bar and get your mate to hit the switches. should see a flap aKa spolier move up or down

Ah yeah, coz the car's got an m spec body kit, its a 1.5. but the front bumper looks like the old series 1. we were just thinkin of putting a lip on it to make it look better..maybe it already has one.. we'll hav a look wen i see him

Yeah just a metal lip behind/under the front bumber basically that would move up and down when the buttons were hit.

From what i gather they usually get removed because they're quite heavy and the actuators break and cost a lot to replace. I've never actually seen a working one!

yeah my HR31 owning mates had them on their Passage and GTS-X respectively, the problem with em is that you can't really fit a front mount cooler around them at all, and yeah the motors are fairly heavy. They look cool though :P It pisses me off that the model earlier has stuff like rain sensing wipers, auto headlights and auto spoiler, but my R32 has none :P. From what I've read they were an option across the R32 range, though I've never actually see one. Dunno about R33, but maybe so.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
