Also a "wing" that is mounted to the middle of the trunk lid cannot possibly actually put any downforce into the car since if it did, the skin of the trunk lid would deform under the load. So fitting this "high performance wing" is just a lot of fakery.
Hey it could be worse. Once they did an fd rx7 and they put on a snake skin patern wrap on it and also hydro diped the wheels and wing in the snake skin patern as well. It looked horible
Harith's I’m a welder and also a skyline owner and I know that it’s possible for the hot weld spatter to easily penetrate the rubber fuel lines that have fuel vapour in them. All it takes is one tiny amount and then before you know the car is ash. All he needed to do was get a piece of thick cardboard etc and run it from the strut tower across to the inlet plenum and the lines are covered.
I nearly died when he mentioned removing the original spoiler. Grinding my teeth as he drilled the boot lid to mount that ridiculous yoke! And nearly throwing up seening the finished product.
I love wheeler dealers but when it comes to JDM cars they just go terrible, the wing and wheels on this skyline and don't forget the terrible snakeskin on the FD Rx7.
That car was demolished after filming the episode. What makes this even more sad, is that no one ever realized it had the full and original Tommykaira M25 bodykit.....

So they repaired one rusty area, added an engine strut and a shitty spoiler. Why even bother? What's the point of all this? Might as well just ran it stock without wasting time.
I saw this on TV when it aired originally but never noticed that 1) there is corrosion on both strut tops but only one was repaired 2) spray over strut top and nuts without masking them off 3) welding right over a clean engine bay 4) the crap rear wing being added 5) said wing is going to do nothing if that boot skin flexes as much as it did when drilling! Some parts of the show are very good but some are just cringe worthy.
Too many people who know what they're doing opining on this thread. What it needs is somebody like me: I like watching Edd and don't know s**t about working in a garage!
Let's fix up the rust near strut tower and paint her nice.............. then remove the very tasty standard wing, put some rubber grommets in the holes....... instead of welding them in. Then throw that abortion on it! Edd bro as a former R33 owner I was heartbroken to see that!
Never, you hear me, NEVER use a wire brush to clean rusted panels. Wire in a brush are much stronger than a panel steel and it slightly moves panel steel, sealing some of the rust inside of steel surface. Only sandblasting or abrasive cleaning!
What's an absolute joke, these two really do wind me, so-called bringing classics back to life, yeah right, I surely can't be the only one that sees all the mistakes they make on all the cars they work on....
I bet 99% of the viewers felt like someone stabbed them in the heart when they saw edd wasn’t joking about the wing
The final stab was the drilling session on the boot lid...
@@DIZAZZO was hard to watch ! that wing was freakin awful
Yeah. That wing is aweful. Should have left it just the way it was.
The spoiler is horrendous! A real Halfords special! The standard one looks so much better!
Thats looks like he took it from a 2005 Proton Aeroback Shitty Edition
oh no, that wing is tragic
Seriously
speak for yourself buddy that spoiler is slick
Eh. I prefer the stock spoiler
The fact that he has 115 upvotes on his comment really does speak for itself
A low ducktail would be nicer
I cried when I see that holes drilled for that "wings". whoever gave that idea should be fired alread.
I don't wanna look at this Skyline ever again

I 100% agree. Terrible idea on a great car. I would have understood if it was a 200SX but not the R33 GTR.

@@datdom34 But you are.
Covers up the engine bay when painting but doesn’t cover up the engine bay when welding next to the fuel filter and fuel lines. good old edd

MrKp0w hey bro where are you in the uk i have a skyline but need welding on a serious note let me know 🙏💪
Hood Stig hello, I’m from Central Scotland.
Yes, he should cover the engine in paper for the burning hot sparks to land on 🤦🏻♂️
Tomfoolerydoozle you’ve obviously never welded before. weld spatter will not make cardboard combust. Fact.
That wing totally ruined it

just put back the stock wing

Stock looked way better, this guy drilled permanent holes to install some dog shit, wannabe Tokyo Drift spoiler 😐
They never got over max power styling haha
That RX7 kinda grew on me, its not too ridiculous to look at
I miss Edd.
I wonder if Edd sees his shares of the coins Mike collects from youtube...
That wing gave me cancer!!!
One of the TV programs that got me into cars !

Nice 👍
Classic wheeler dealers
Seen loads times and still entertaining 👍
To all yall complaining abt the wing this episode is old as hell bruh that shit was probably 100% still in style when this was filmed.
never liked these cars until i owned one... amazing cars
Edd,best part of wheeler dealers
Now I know why Edd was in that binky episode. He was getting his apprenticeship in template making.
If you got that then you're a true gearhead mate.
i feel like we are in the early 2000s modifying my first car, strut brace intake exhaust and wing
“Custom wing”.
Looks like a WISH special, lol.
Need to see you on TV again.
No offense to Mike and Ant.
You are that cool guy.
Omg wtf were you thinking with that wing?!?!?!?!
WHEELER DEALERS THE FIRST CHANNEL TO RICE GTR
So they repaired one rusty area, added an engine strut and a shitty spoiler. Why even bother? What's the point of all this? Might as well just ran it stock without wasting time.

Oh! Edd! Orange glove!
Now we are talking 🚗 🚘
I remember they couldn't figure out how to drift afterall lol
NOOO THE WING 😭😭😭
That wing is ok, i guess. Was a different time...
How does he add an engine strut brace, but then attached DOWNFORCE onto flimsy boot metal???
Esse cara é muito bom no que faz!
i know i’m not the first but what in the name of all that’s holy were they thinking with that rear wing…….
Nice aftermarket rudder
I wish they kept the original wing, it was way better
Who knew the shows with Edd in it are holding the show up well after all these years while the new hosts there are currently destroying it.
That strut tower did not appear to be in bad shape. I would have never let someone cut on my Skyline like that unless it was in really poor shape!
these used to be worth nothing so no one cared. were about 2.5k once upon a time
That wing is disgusting 🤢, GTR or even stock wing is better lol
this from October 2012, miss Edd
Proof that Skylines are for JDM enthusiasts only.
Was it me or did any one cringe 😬 when he drilled holes in the trunk and put on that spoiler . Noo
Too many people who know what they're doing opining on this thread. What it needs is somebody like me: I like watching Edd and don't know s**t about working in a garage!
More Edd China! More cars in the UK.
Parabéns pelo dom.
I never watch videos like this, I simply go straight to the comment section where the real experts are 🤣😂
didnt they sell the car to a racer who stripped off the bits he wanted and crushed the shell ?
Did he really change the oem wing?
Spoiler ruined it on a complete standard car
I wish they left this car alone. It was damn near perfect stock. Maybe some new breaks and wheels is all it needed.
The rear wing is horrible, a second hand GT-R wing is better. I prefer the stock wing and spend money in other parts.
Good job
Very good classic car unfortunately in South Africa this car is not easy to get one plus it's to expensive to import like your show ed
Let's fix up the rust near strut tower and paint her nice.............. then remove the very tasty standard wing, put some rubber grommets in the holes....... instead of welding them in. Then throw that abortion on it! Edd bro as a former R33 owner I was heartbroken to see that!
eBay strut tower brace & wing. Poor skyline is being treated like a 90’s Honda 🤦🏻♂️
I just had a heartattack with that dumb wings...
we miss ed china machinc please come back man ?
He did an interview with Drivetribe (website and youtube channel, owned by Clarkson, Hammond, and May). He said he's never going back.
元々日本で走ってた車だね
the wing nooooooooooooo
That rear wing fu**ed it.. should hav put in the original wing
Very good job for the Nissan GTR 😁👍
It’s a GTS.
*GTST
Yup lower model rb25det engine
GTS25T LOL
Weldable primer Ed!
Edd > Ant
Of course
That wing is why ed got fired lol
Edd loves boys
No no no! Not that wing. 🤦🏻♂️
Well that wing definitely was not a good fit
piece of kit, bit of kit, spoken like a true brit.
unda-neath the bonnet.
What is the title of the music that starts from 5:07?
I love Edd. But he has a horrebil taste in tuning. I just say.... Amc Pacer and Rx7 snakerims
Think the model after this one is proper decent, this one is too light looking? Needs beefing up!
🥩
Fixes rust that no one will see....
Plugs panel holes with grommets that everyone will see 🤦♂️
He said those will keep water out of the boot but it’s a race car so no one will care?????
@@grigs249 The grommets just look bad, race car or not 👎I understand their function.
If it's a "race car" why fix the rust?
No M.O.T. for race cars.
Value of the car dropped once you put that spoiler on
One of the best episode .
Ohhhh Edd where are you, come back to The show.
Mike is loose whitout you.
Bye.
sigh.... the wing..... so bad

RB25
It's the GTS-T model.
Go Edd
I would of kept the stock wing on not that new big one he put on
ins't the idea to not have down force or traction on the back, and yea the original wing looks way better such wank lol
Sorry Ed, but that spoiler is super ugly
I became sick because of that wing oh noooo 🤮🤮🤮
poor r33
