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.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
