$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.

    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
