Hey all,

I'm finally completing the repairs to my car (1 year since the hail came) ... anyway, i'm looking at getting an N1 style boot lip spoiler for my car, and was wondering if anyone else has one, where they got it from, and how they like it.

Obviously all the places i'm looking at getting it from are copies, so I'm wondering if any of the places have a "better" copy than the others...

ones i'm lookig at are:

Just Jap - $223

JSAI - $220

Empire Aero - $239

prices are including postage.

Empire Aero's one is "carbon fibre" (not sure if it's just CF in appearance) but i'm going to be painting it so i don't really mind.

So if anyone has an opinion, i'd love to know.

i got mine from just jap and by the time the prep work (fibreglass), painting and fitting it was $500 including cost of boot lip. Given that you are retaining the standard spoiler for the classic N1 look that should be a ballpark figure, although obviously to remove the factory spoiler and all evidence of its original fitment would be substantially more. It seems like alot of money but i believe the only thing to be wary of is getting a perfect colour match.. Have a good hunt for a trusted paint shop if you dont already know one. Hope this helps mate :thumbsup:

thanks mate, i'm actually fitting and painting myself, just mainly concerned with the quality of the spoiler itself... I've heard stories of people buying these fibreglass / carbon parts and them not fitting correctly etc.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on

      Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
