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! :)

from doing a little google researching Ive found out its a common issue and others have found that nissan used locktite on atleast one of the bolts either side...

others have drilled them out also...

any suggestions to avoid drilling them out?

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.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
