GT4 Zed Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hi folks, i have posted this guide to help anyone fit this specific spoiler or familiarise themselves with what lies underneath the OEM GT boot spoiler. when i decided to install the nismo i asked for advice on the forum with very helpful inputs from more than a few members. i had planned to do it myself but decided to get help from my local bodyshop (who have always been very good and reasonably priced) as it appeared it was not entirely straightforward The main issues were: - firstly the fact that the spoiler had 4 bolts at the edges that fixed it to the boot while there are only 2 bolt holes pre-drilled with the GT spoiler which meant you had to drill 2 extra holes in the boot in addition to bonding-on the spoiler to ensure a secure fit - Secondly the pre-existing bolt holes where not inline with those of the spoiler so you may need to drill 4 new holes anyway and seal off the existing 2. - finally there was the issue of after taking off the GT spoiler (which is well bonded) likely meant you will end up needing a boot respray . i took this all on board and approached Darren(Bodyshop maestro) who was up for the challenge. Needless to say it all went well and i am happy with the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimm Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Really nice and as said the V1 is the best one imo. PLEASE, PLEASE take the rear sticker out of ya window Avende !! it will make the Z inside the boot stand out more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurrish Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Looks real nice mate....Looks better on the boot than it did in your passenger seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1SM0350z Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Looks It looks like it sits higher than the one on my dads because his almost touches the boot and has some sticky cushon pads to protect the paint. Might just be the pictures though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phinnies1 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Nice job. Just to point out you have taken care to hide your reg in every pic apart from the 1st one where it is quite clear, just didnt know if you had spotted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuck Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Just wondering if anyone else has had their V1 fitted using only two bolts? Is this the most common way of fitting them and is it still stable over time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurrish Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Mine being fitted sunday and this is the best guide i can find for me to give to the fitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St3v50z Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Out of interest, was this Nismo spoiler the plastic US or fibreglass JDM version? I read the US version doesnt cover the bolt holes from the UK spoiler? Although i fail to see why as it would be exactly the same dimensions as the JDM one, only ABS plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
