EVO-R Nismo High Wing fitment question

tjlazer

Wait your not planning on getting the "GTR" EVO-R Nismo put on? I thought you said you were planning on installing that on your car yourself later on. If you are you could of saved yourself a lot of hassles leaving off the new sport spoiler. Its a PITA to remove and will most likely break,

The car came with the sport package spoiler non nismo. I purchased what I now know was the nismo s spoiler with the car and the dealership was going to install it. After they received it they realized that the nismo s spoiler would not cover all the wholes that the factory spoiler left. They broken it when taking off and had to order a new one and put that on. I am planning on ordering the evo one and putting that on myself. I would have liked to have them not put the other one back on but no garage to store car in while waiting for it to show up.

a good shop should be able to remove the old sprt spoiler wothout breaking/damaging it. When mine got removed the only "damage" was a tiny knick on the base of it. Not noticible once installed.

Def keep us posted om your evo r wing qhen you get it

I have ordered the Evo-R Nismo High Wing from thezstore.com, but looking like it is going ot take up to 6 weeks to get it. After all the hassle at the dealership they have agree to paint it for free as long as I put it on. I am wondering if there is a diff place that I can order it from since it is going to take so long from the zstore? Any other reputable places that I can get this from, I have looked and found nothing. I have pmed EVOR on here also with no response. Any help is appreciated!

There are some for sale on e-bay. Search for EVO-R high wing.

Good luck. I'm waiting on some Evo-R parts myself. He makes good stuff, but the wait and lack of response are terrible. I always order his stuff through the z store, at least they call me and let me know if something's out of stock and when to expect it.

Does the bolts from the sports wing fit it.

Thanks

Does it not come with all the mounting hardware? I thought it came with the bolts and the double sided tape? It is my understanding that it will use the same holes and cover any extra that the factory sport spoiler used. Is that not correct?

Romulus1

IT DOES USE THE SAME HOLES AS THE SPORT WING. It was one of the main reasons for me getting this one instead of the siebon. The size difference is nominal but reusing holes that are already there and not having to drill new, big plus to me.


I'm fairly certain this has been said in this thread a few times, me being one of them and its been said in other threads also. If you read/search around a bit, you'll find all the answers you need. there are very few questions that are not already answered on this forum.

The spoiler finally came and I got the dealership to paint and prep for free for all the hassle with the spoiler I purchased from them. They did not want to do the install for fear of breaking the factory spoiler again, so i am going to attempt this. I have searched the forums here and there are a few questions about install that I can't seem to find. What is the epoxy for that came with the spoiler? Guessing to hold the two pieces together along with the bolts, but I want to be sure. The bolts seem like they may be too long for mounting on the truck lid, so do I need to get shorter ones or just the same size and length that came to hold the two pieces together? I have ordered 3m tape which I figured I would need also. So any help is appreciated.

If I were you I would let a professional do the I stall, I know I would shoot my self if I attempted it and screwed it up.

I highly recommend letting a shop do it even if its not the place painting it. I believe the epoxy is for the center post so the spoiler doesnt flex up

So I decided to go ahead and attempt the swap myself after finding the service manual on this site. It actually went very well and did not turn out to be that difficult. I was also able to get the factory one off without damaging it at all. The fishing line trick worked out very well and I let the car sit in the sun for an hour beforehand to soften up the double sided tape. Here is a pic of the finished product. I actually had the tint done this past week also 20% solar guard high performance supreme if anyone is interested.

That looks great! I just got my tall box from thezstore too and kinda dreading removing my Sport spoiler and getting this thing painted. Have you noticed any difference in the stock struts' ability to hold the hatch open with the new wing? Did you use any of that epoxy included in the kit?

Thuegel1

Thanks! The struts seem to be ok with holding it up, the only thing that I noticed was the initial opening of the trunk. After hitting the button, the hatch does quite open enough to actually open it, but simply pulling up right after it unlocks seem to fix it. If anyone knows what to do about that I would love to know. Yeah I use the epoxy on the center pillar of the wing, however not sure if it will really hold or not, we shall see with time. I looked over the factory nismo spoiler and that one has bolts that hold that together. The only thing that was a pain was that the fishing line broke anytime I hit one of the factory clips. There are seven of those and really the only pain in the whole process.
