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?

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
