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.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
