Spoke to the the fabricator, he said the stock brake light wouldn't fit the contours of the flat boot lid as the stock one has a bigger curve. He can graft a flat rectangular Hella LED brake light into it, but he said it would add tot he cost of the spoiler by about $100 since the lights aren't cheap. Also it'll mean 2 moulds have to be made for those that don't want the brake light.

However, seeing as most people have rear windscreen wipers, they won't be able to fit a brake repeater on the base of the window, they'll have to fit it at the top. And I don't think most people would be too keen on the taxi-look.

Your call guys.

thanks for your effort you're putting into this :rofl:

Only interested if it accomodates for the brake light @ max total price $300. Have you got any photos of the Hella LED the fabricator spoke about??

ps i know that you source complete flat bootlids (eg east bear make one) - maybe we could do a group buy on them?? because aren't they about $600 each? which is only double what we're paying for this spoiler, plus you get the weight saving, and can sell your old boot.

won't know a final price until we actually have the thing down here. ATM the estimate is $250 - $300, it won't go over that.

And for east bear ones, yeah I can get em down, can put em in a container with other parts n save on shipping, maybe even convince east bear to give a discount.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
