Fixed my wind deflectors today. The clip closest to the front quarter panel came off and the tape was dry, so when I was on the Westgate freeway doing 100km half of the wind deflector came off (looking like it was going to fly away). Lucky it managed to stay together.

Had to completely remove the double sided tape (bitch of a job, still couldn't get 100% of it off) and put new tape down. Also adjusted the clips so now it's completely secure ;)

Are you free this weekend? We are doing Go Karts at Ace Karts starting at 10am :)

have one of mine keeps coming off...always looks like going to lose it but never falls right off...

what sort of tape you use...I've tried a couple that didnt last very long at all before it come off again...

I used this tape:

You'll need to clean both the wind deflector and the window rubber properly with some wax and grease remover (or similar) to remove as many traces of the old tape as you can. Make sure the clips are also bent in quite tightly for a flush / secure fit. The tape isn't as strong as the original, but doing those steps will make it stay on pretty securely. How the clips are secured is also a crucial part to how well it will stay on in the future.

oh..mine doesnt have clips, just tape...and yeah i cleaned it down with WnG ....tried some tape form bunnings this time, was like 10$ for a metre and meant to be full weather proof...looks like its peeling up already though

Oh really? Is that the same for all R33's? The tape by itself isn't strong enough

Ha! Yes... I always angle the spray down when I'm pressure spraying the car, otherwise half the water ends up inside since the rubber moves under the spray :P

Should SAUVIC organise another GoCarts day?

Ahhhh ok... Most cars I've been in will throw some water in the window if you put on the sprayer jets and it pushes water to the side of the windscreen with the wipers... A bit more of a lip on the side of the windscreen would be marvelous though.

My issue is if there's water on the roof, after rain, or even overnight dew. As soon as I turn right for the first time, I get half a litre of water coming in my window from above and landing on my arm/door/electric window controls.

Good location thats all i need to know

Wanted to stay at Orchard rd area but a bit exy

One day I'l stay at the Marina Bay sands when I'm a high roller

Are people allowed to go into that hotel up to the top for fun? Or you need to be a guest/pay etc..?

There is the tourist way to the roof which you have to pay.

Or

You dress sharp and go to the lifts and talk your way into the rooftop bar. Free entry & a nice view.

edit: confirmed couple pages back, mah bad.

Can anyone tell me how/why the two different styles of tail light assembly on the 34 differ? Are they from different series of cars (i.e. a body update)? Or is the second pic shown below a set of after market lights?

Pics for reference

Top pic is coupe, bottom pic is sedan, as Martin said.

Coupe rear indicator location within the rings still one of my favorite things about my 34. Pity I rarely get to see it in action lol.

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
