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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
