Hey all!

I have an R33 GTR wing, which appears to be genuine, and has Nismo carbon side inserts, and a carbon fibre lip on the end of the wing.

Is this a Nismo item? Or some Nismo bits stuck onto a Nissan wing, or possibly an aftermarket lip and Nismo covers?j

If it's not clear, i'll try to get a picture of it.

Thanks in advance!

-Steve

arn't they just stuck onto the side of the original wing? mine is the same and im pretty sure they just stick those carbon fibre looking bits onto the side. You could simply peal it back and it would look like a normal one.

Thanks guys, I bought it because it was relatively cheap, and had the carbon bits and end-caps.

I'm having it repainted black to suit my car and i'll keep those offers in mind. The Nismo bits are indeed some kind of plastic that is stuck to standard-looking end-caps, and my painter will stick them back on after it's all painted.

If i'm strapped for cash, I might pull them off to sell (since there's so much interest in them) What are they worth though?

Dammit. I hate when Google takes me back to a thread which is actually the question I was already asking!

The end-caps WERE genuine and the nismo bits were stuck onto them. I'm swapping them over now and have spare carbon-print GTR ones.

Old thread, but FYI for anyone interested.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
