Hey guys my spoiler is starting to peel off and paint is flaking off, and the black strip that says fair lady z twin turbo near the 3rd brake light is stuffed, I'm wanting to do the brazillian to the boot but not sure what's involved, can someone post a link to a previous thread for me?
You will need to remove all hatch trim so you can get to the bolts that are holding onto the spoiler. Then you just use either a screw driver with a cloth on it & start pulling on it & minutes later you would have it off the car...just be careful not to dent the hatch & check for rust once its off. Or you can use heavy machinery like a mini crane like somebody else did Abraham
I'd recommend not using a screwdriver. There's a lot of sealant under that spoiler, and the best way of cutting through it is either with piano wire or a long, thin blade.
I would also not recommend using a screwdriver. It is far from the best way to do it. As Instamatic has said, best to use piano wire if you can find some. There are two bolt-holes that will need to be welded up if you decide to proceed with the Brazilian. To still be legal, ADRs require a car to have a third brake light. You can remove the wing/repaint the hatch and use an LED strip at the top of the hatch glass. From memory, ADRs require internal TBL's to be sealed to the glass as well. A better, more appropriate method would be to acquire a third brake light from either your local Nissan Dealership or from ConceptZPerformance
Kewl thanks guys, looks like I have myself something to do this weekend haha. Yea I assume a thin guitar string would work the same?
Listen don't mess around with this spoiler removal stuff. I'll bring my tractor around tomorrow and we'll get that bad boy off.
Guitar bass string in a sawing motion works best. I have a spare complete 2 seater hatch if you want to buy it and work on it without touching your existing one in the mean time.
Haha that's classic Ben 2311! Thanks for the offer DUB but I am fairly short on room ATM. No worries It sounds like a fairly straight forward job thanks for all your help guys.
