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 !

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
