I've got an R33 GTR spoiler fitted to my R33 GTS-T which was done by one of the previous owner/s, I've purchased a carbon fibre wing blade for it. I Don't know if the factory ones come with torques head screws on the pivot and slider part, with the holding screws being allen keys but the problem is the torques head screws have been threaded and I cannot remove them. I've tried applying pressure to them and trying more so but I can't remove them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

I'm a bit against drilling them out also. I had a suggestion if there is a tiny bit of slack in the blade if it could be stretched and a hack saw blade may fit between the wing side and the blade to cut the bolts. Haven't had a proper look yet

Managed to get the old blade out by grinding back the head of the bolts flat then drilling into them to make them hollow, spacing out a gap between the blade and the side of the wing, masking up the area and running a hacksaw blade through the bolts. Problem solved for me.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
