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!

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!:

      For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.

      Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
