Hey all.

I have removed the rear spoiler on my car and wanted to share the pics with you..

For those who are thinking of doing the same thing, I will say this...

It's not THAT easy..

once you remove it, you get one whole at each end, and 2 small ones and a big one in the middle..

I welded them up from underneath and boged the top and sanded and sanded till the cows came home..

then went over it with a high fill puddy spray, then sanded.

Then undercoat, then sanded, then sprayed in silver a few layers, then clear.

A week later, I had it buffed, then I went home and polished it some more..

Not easy but check out the results...

You'd never be able to tell that there was ever a spoiler there..

On a side note, I have a perfectly good R32 GTST rear spoiler with brake light for sale for anyone interested..

some pics below..

I acutally did all the prep work.

My mechanic did the coats of paint..

I took a week off work and spent my whole time at the mechanic getting things done and the boot was one of them.

My arms were killing me all week from all the sanding..

But it's worth it in the end.., there is no trace of a spoiler ever being on there..

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
