Strange Buttons In Dash

[Red Reaper]

Hey guys, i have an embarrasing questions.... Here it is

I brought myself a 1993 Skyline R33 Gts25t and noticed 2 buttons that say spoiler up and spolier down, the spoiler down button is under the spoiler up button they are sitting in the dash just to the left of the steering wheel, when i press the buttons i can hear a, eletrical motor run but i dont notice anything happen, the switches look like they are factory not after market so if anyone could tell me what they are there for i would be thankful

Thanks guys

an eletric front spoiler. i forget the details of these but some r33s came with a moving front spoiler..... fairly rare to I would assume

[Red Reaper]

Thanks for the info, i will get someone to check the front of the car when i press da buttons thanks agian

[puckish]

Press button and get out of car. Notice front spoiler lip is down.

Press other button notice front spoiler lip is up.

If nothing changes it's broken.

puckish.... being new to this forum i dont wanna start off by making enemies or sounding like an ass but your message kinda states the obvious

[Red Reaper]

Thanks for your help akeenan i checked out my car 2day and the front spoiler does move when i press the buttons, which is great coz it gives me about another 2" or so of clearance at the front so now i wont scrape all the time

It's supposed to be fully auto and speed dependant, and you use those buttons while stationary so you can clean the bar.

Other interesting buttons to look out for are teh fooly sic nos, and neons

the spoiler also moves by its self. my mate has one. if you lookup on skyline down under it has the info there. but the details are listed for a r32 not 33. the part of the spoiler that moves is a blade at the bottom.

mind you if you have an aftermarket front bar or a bumber that was repaired after an accident, those switches are as useful as tits on a bull.

If they don't do anything I suggest you rewire your amps remote volume control to those switches... go for that factory look.

The motorised lip is not exclusive to R32's i have seen them on R33's too

[Guest RedLineGTR]

some pics would be nice havent seen one before in the flesh with the spoiler..

[cobo_11]

Are these front spoilers rare for R32's?

I ask because my R32 has it, aswell as just about every other factory option available at the time (from what I have heard are factory options)

/sorry for hi-jacking thread a bit/

[Guest RedLineGTR]

for r32 are more know about but for r33 only herd like 2 cases in the past year or two.

as far as i have read they were an option on 31's, 32's & early 33's. the buttons on the dash only work when the car is on, stationary & with the handbrake on. otherwise it comes down automatically at around 75km/h & will stay down until u click the up button in or drop below 50km/h.

mine still works & is the only one i've actually seen operate.

[BIGBLOCKR31COUPE]

There are alot of 31s with it. Mine had one but I took it off so I could fit my intercooler. I am going to modify it and put it back on.

so has anyone came up with the r33 pics of this spoiler?
