from memory i dont think that they have different holes in the boot......the base of the wing is same for both models me thinks....same goes for the GTR wing too....dont quote me on it but i dont think that the holes are different at all

i normally see a S2 wing on S1's your going in the opposite direction....

Ok so I ended up buying a series 2 boot lid and wing to bolt on (hinges too).

I bolted it on and the boot lid would not latch shut. After some investigation I noticed the latch bit that bolts onto the lid is a different shape. I bolted the series 1 latch onto the series 2 lid and it now latches shut.

The only problem is that it now sits about 20mm too high at the rear. I found that I can adjust the latch on the car side by loosening 2x bolts and sliding it down.

I think this helped a little but not enough..

Does anyone know if there is any further adjustments that can be done?? Or could the hinges be different etc??

HELP!!!

Just changed my s1 wing to a s2 and found that the pointed ends of the s2 wing are longer than the s1 one by an inch or so. Maybe the s2 lid is slightly longer than the s1 one, thus not allowing you to fit in flush on your s1. Just a guess through inspiration from the wing as I could be wrong.

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
