So what's the deal with all the Skylines with there spoiler removed.

Looks like someones stole them half the time with no attempt to make it good.

Dose it deter the cops if you remove it or is it to shave a few hundreths of a second off your 1/4 times

I think it looks a bit pony to be honest but just wondered why so many remove them.

i removed mine on my old 32, hated the standard sedan spoiler and ended up putting a gtr n1 lip spoiler

generally people will remove them for cosmetics, on 33s they need at least a duck wing otherwise they look shithouse

on the 33s it looks cleaner

but deffs needs a duck lip to fill the gap and make boot flush with the rear quarter panels

and yes can be more cop trouble if you didnt spend the extra time to properly fit another high mount break light.

Question should be why som many kids want a GTR spoiler on a '33 when the GTS-T spoiler looks much better and less cop bait.

Didn't know spoilers had so much affect on a car at 100kmp/h (the legal speed limit) and admit it, most of you never "track day" you rides.

Personally lip = best.

I want my stock GTR spoiler back on, cuz the previous owner took it off.

At least they did a good job with filling up the holes and repainting the whole boot lid again.

the only reason why i want a spoiler is so that my boot lid doesn't shoot up

yeah, jamies boot nearly ko'd me lol

im gona take the wing off my car when i get it, N1 lip ftw

IMO, GTRs without the GTR wing looks wrong. Yes, Jamie, I'm talking to you and your bald assed 32 :domokun:

personally i like the series 2 33 spoiler...dunno why you would take it off. Series 1 i understand... *shudder*

Cosmetics aside i find in a sedan or coupe its much easier to park with a wing...cuz then you know how far you have left to go without guessing :laugh: Hatches are easy cuz ur back window is exactly where the back of your car is...trickier with a boot.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
