$90 if you want to keep it + postage.

measurements below:

Carbon wing blade : 130.8cm

Original OEM blade with end plates: 131.3cm

Original OEM blade without end plates: 130.3cm

End Plates: 5mm each

so they are approximately 5mm shorter/longer with/without end plates.

Cheers

Just wanting to know if we are to keep the carbon blade what's needed for it to fit right? And also alot of us do track days if we're going around at 180 is there a chance that because it's not properly fitted that it could some how come lose and fly off?

no headlight intake for R33 S2.

GTR only i think it had (need to double check)

Owgasm, most likely 2mm alloy is best. I will have it drawn up in CAD for you guys to send around to get quotes on.

Tommyr34, it will not fall off as its still held in by the same amount of screws as OEM.

If everyone is happy to pay $90 for the wing blade (just waiting on ztuned & tommyR34) to confirm, let me know ASAP via PM.

Owgasm & sinistaGTR, will let you know when the refund goes through.

PewPew, let me know of yours and ztuned's final decision asap :)

Thanks all and sorry about all this hassle.

Ive installed some of my CF parts from this group buy, thought everyone might like to see some results.

I do still need to remove all the parts and get them clear coated to stop them going milky.

that includes removing my PSI parts fog light covers cause one of those has gone milky already and the car is pretty much always in the garage, I hardly get a chance to drive it. I still also have a rear diffuser and eye lids both in CF to install too, Im hoping all the different brands of parts have very similar or matching weaves and colours.

The OEM wing blade wasnt easy to get off for starters, an end bolt needed to be drilled out as it was free turning, but after coming to the dreaded decision that must be done it wasnt too bad and the OEM wing will live to be installed again if needed.

the CF wing blade and end caps fitted not too bad considering the price to be honest...

some slight modifications to the mounting points and some widening of the bolt holes in the blade bracket on the car and they were a firm fit

The fuse box cover wasnt an easy OEM fit either but some mild persuasion and it was all good.

In comparison to other more expensive CF parts there are obvious fitting differences, the most expensive parts fit perfect like OEM, but to the untrained eye most would not be able to tell the differences between these parts from the group buy to the brand name jap stuff I have.

I did a weave shot from my Garage Defend cooling panel and the fuse box cover. there is a slight wave in the surface of the fuse box cover and the weave is bit neater on the defend piece but overall similar size weave on both so may come fairly close to matching.

oh I do have Bpillars from this group buy to install as well but I got sent two left hand side ones so Dori is fixing that up for me...

pics of it installed will come along once the part is here.

ive had carbon parts on my car for years now, it was parked out in the sunlight everday at work for 4 years and i have never had any of my parts fade or go milky as you put it, have never had any special coat put on them n they are from alot of different suppliers.

i honsetly dont see how people are having so much trouble with parts fadding

It is interesting to note that only one of the fog light covers has gone milky, the other is fine, so thats even stranger cause same supplier, same batch even, same sunlight exposure... so I dunno...

thanks for the pics Scott!

i love the carbon blade on the R33 cause its much thicker than the R34, it makes the car stand out!

i have 2 R34 wing blades left over, for $90 each, does anyone want to purchase them?

This is the CAD drawing for the R34 end plates, you can run these as optional, i recommend just getting the basic shape of the plate, and get bolts to suit and the holes drilled and tapered to suit the bolt, recommended plate thickness = 2mm.

2.5mm end plate may fit as well.

The standard screws will not fit as they are too fat and wide.

so some hunting around for 2mm thick tappered head screws (like below) or ultra flat pan screws.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
