Warped Duck Wing

Damn I'm pissed off. :D

I painted up my Duck wing for my R33. All buffed and well finished, took a lot of effort. Went to put it on and I notice the thing is slightly warped and so won't sit flat. Each 'blade' is maybe 1 inch different at the ends, like it's been twisted.

If I press it down with my a bit of force it sits ok but dunno if I want the screws fighting that as well as holding it on. I was just gonna use 4 screw holes with the bolt just loctited in. Can't see another way of attaching it short of gluing the whole thing down to the boot lid.

I'm really thinking of throwing the towel in with this and just getting a body shop to do one properly. That or get a carbon lid.

Major fail on my part. I want to take the wing, snap the fcukin thing in half.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
