$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.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
