Hi Guys,

After picking up an original R33 GTR rear wing (series 1 if it matters) I wanted to adjust the position of the blade using the adjusment bolts on either side. I removed the end plates using the hex head bolts on both sides only to find the following pattern on the heads of the screws/bolts that you use to adjust the blade angle (see attachment).......

As my dodgy drawing indicates it is almost a spline shape with a raised circular bit in the middle (black shapes are the raised sections of the screw head).....now I have various spline shaped screwdriver attachments that would fit except for the fact that the raised circular bit in the middle stops the tool engaging.

Does anyone know if I need a special tool that maybe came with the GTR toolkit or can you buy a tool at a hardware store that would fit (ie its a std tool pattern)?? Any help would be much apprieciated :D

Hey geoff,

cheers for the info mate but I also want to remove the blade for some maintainance so I'm guessing I have to remove all the bolts/screws right?

I guess my question is can I walk into a Bunnings or Repco and buy a tool off the shelf that will fit those two screws/bolts on the left of your piccie?

I haven't played with my wing, but from your diagram, looks like a Torx tamper proof bit. Same one used on the steering wheel. T50 is the size of the one on the steering wheel. I picked up a kit of Torx tamperproof alan key things from Dick Smitch i think for about $16.

Thanks for all your replies guys ;)

At least I now know what to ask for instead of "I need a tool with a spline shaped end with a hole in it....' dont think I would've gotten very far with that one!!!

To those that offered a lend of their Torx tool, cheers but I better buy one of my own as I like to tamper with my toys :D

I have them from my Apple Technician days.

I use a torx-8 to get into the PowerBook - and the mighty 'Mac Cracker' torx-12 with a 30cm shank to open Mac Plus' - to turn them into fish-tanks, or other more useful things :P

Single tools should be $10 - $12 a pop.

Ant, I have the tool, kincrome sell them (Part# 05020 - Tamperproof Torx Set, about $27 retail.)

You are welcome to borrow mine if don't want to buy a set.

Ant - I can get the above for you for $13.77 including GST. let me know if your interested.

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
