Hi All,

I managed to locate a Dayz wing in Japan (at long last/excited).

Just wondering has anyone swapped theirs at all?

I'm curious about the rear hatch on the right, is there a pre-existing hole with grommet under the original wing where the wiring can feed through?

Cheers,

Pete

I don't know if there is a hole on top of the boot lid under the stock spoiler (probably not, because why would there be...) but the underside of the bootlid and the rear cabin do have holes and grommets so it should all be fine.

At worst you have to drill a hole in the top of the bootlid, protect the cables through it with something (eg, a short piece of rubber host) and make sure the spoiler's gakset seals properly to the boot (if not, a thin line of silastic would help)

Cheers for the reply and advice Duncan.

Yeah a bit of wishful thinking on my behalf.

Hoping Nissan being Nissan, they plan ahead. ie. any of those with wings have have a hole pre-fab from factory whether it has the light/wiring for brake light or not.

Put the wing on, had to drill couple of extra holes for the loom and bolts.

Painted holes so any exposed metal not exposed to moisture.

Worked out alright.

Just gotta suss out the voltage drop I have for the rear brake loom.

Have 11.5v, which powers the standard brake lights ok (incandescent).

But the LED in the wing needs at least 12v.

Correction to my above observation on the led not working under 12v.

It does work with voltage lower than 12v.

Tested it out further this arvo, connecting only the wing light into the brake loom and all good.

But when connected in parallel with the brake light in the rear window hatch, nothing.

Might try all led in the hatch brake light and see what happens.

If no joy maybe I need a resistor or diode or something.. will need to suss it out.

      Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
