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.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
