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've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
