heya,

tried to remove the spoiler of my r33 the other day but ran into problems so i decided to stop before i f*#ked somthing. so just wondering the best way to remove the spoiler from a r33 without ***ing paint, bonnet or spoiler. :D

i undid the four bolts (well that all i could find, dont know if there is any more?) that attach the spoiler and unclipped the brake light wire. but with all these bolts undone it would not budge. i didnt force it to hard because i am not sure if it is atrtached with some sikaflex or somehting and i didnt wan to take any paint up with it.

can anyone shed some light into the best way to remove without f#&king anyhting...????

cheers!

matty

ok, well if u were smart, take my advice, and dont do it..unless ur willing to pay something like $400 to get it fixed.

i took the spoiler of my r32, and had the same problem...bolts were off, but the spoiler was still stuck to the boot with an adhisive. so anyway, with some really hard jerking, i managed to get it off. now its left with glue shit, and holes.

been quoted, its gonna cost like 400 to fix, but i think its worth it, r32's look so much hotter without spoiler.

also, amond the jerking, i ****ed up the cord that opens the boot from the inside.

so now i can only open the boot with the key. :D

but yea, u dont see many r33's without spoiler's, so its something different, so go ahead, but if ur scared, just take it to a panal beater or something.

yeah i have mine off now. It can be hard to take the wing off on r33s because they have some extra plastic fasteners holding it down. take care when pulling it off because you are more likly to destroy the wing rather than your paint work and you will get left with a few holes too

DRFTR33, so when you removed your wing it didn take any paint up with it? you are only left with four holes right?

not to concerned with wrecking any of the plastic fasteners as the only wing that goes back on will be a stealth wing...if i can ever find one at a decent price :)

mattysaidso: The cheapest ive ever seen a stealth wing is at www.carmate.com.au

they want $220 + $50 freight.... not too bad i reckon (unpainted) + they said $50 for me coz im in south aust. so could be cheaper depending on your location

JMS here in Adelaide, the bunch of creamers, wanted something ridiculous like $395 for one unpainted.... :bs!:
