just wanting some peoples advice with removing the rear wing on a s2 r33. i have removed the two bolts from underneath and am not quite sure whether the stuff holding it down is the dreaded sickaflex or another type of adhesive.

if anyone has some tips on how to counter this problem it would be much appreciated.

thanks

ive undone EVERY SINGLE ONE and my win is glued on or some biz... its seems like a strange wing too.. it doesnt have a brake light and is really quite large stands about 15-20cm in the air... anyone know what type of stock wing it is cause its still has the stock bodykit...

lol....i tried to do it once.........spent two hours trying to figure it out.......ended up almost removinf the complete boot lid........but the wing just won't come off.........sme one do a DIY guide would be nice

removed mine about 2 weeks ago. Man that thing is not going nowhere after being there from the weather in japan.

There are 4 bolts from memory and a couple clips,. Thats the easy part.

Mine ( and probably all ) was glued down with some sort of sikaflex urethhane to stop water leaking in the holes. It was a bitch and a half to remove. Just get a stanley knife blade, and try scrape under the wing. BE VERY CAREFUL not to stratch the paint. Also use a heat gun to heat up around the glue. You have to use a fair bit of force and eventually it will come off..

Goodluck !

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
