I've recently bought a set of Nismo wing stay for my R34 coupe.

After taking off the stock spoiler, I realised there's an extra set of holes on the boot lid. The stock + nismo wing stay only uses 2 set of holes but theres another hole in the middle of the 2.

At the moment, it's got some sort of plastic clips on them, and I'm just wondering what are they and what it's for. And the best way to cover it.

I was thinking to get some rubber plugs from Clark Rubber. I definitely aren't going to get the holes welded and resprayed.

The factory wing uses the middle holes, they have a sort-of clip that goes from the spoiler into the hole - probably to help locate it, or lock it down or something. Either way, yeah - you're going to want to put some sort of proper plug in there to prevent water entering your boot. I'm sure a body-shop (or someone on here) might be able to give you some clues.

Also - the nismo wing stays - they're supposed to have plastic pieces that sit around the bottom of the stay and cover up any of the holes anyway?

Are you missing these?

Ohh, I'm guessing they must have snapped on the stock wing stay. Think I might take them out and put some plugs into them.

As for the covers, I have them but I think the spoiler looks a lot better without the covers :P

get some touch up paint and paint whatever you use to fill it up with it? would look dodgy but you wont really notice it unless you look up close or you could just put a cf vinyl under the nismo stands to make a shape?

Cheers :D

I'm pretty sure it would be legal.... Because it's a factory item....

And plus, I though the only reason why after market spoiler isn't legal, is when they stick out further than the width of your car? Because apparently it can hurt someone when you hit them with your car lol

Here's a pic of it from behind:

Just wondering, does anyone know how big the middle hole will be if I take out the plastic clip thingys?

As in... Will the hole be just as wide as the plastic clips? or will it be smaller, like the front and back holes?

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
