The R34 GT-R spoiler
Everybody knows the spoiler of the R34 GT-R by how it looks.
But I’m sure not too many know it looks on the inside and how you can change downforce.
It has 4 different settings for the spoilerblade level.
On the top picture you can see the inside of the spoiler, it’s hidden behind the end caps.
Picture two shows the spoiler in the least amount of drag, It might even create lift.
In the third picture you can see the spoilerblade in the most agressive position.
I have no idea how this will affect driving the car as I haven’t driven it since changing the settings.
Hope you guys find this fun/informative to read!

Flat as seen from the rear
And all the way up, drivers behind me can now clearly see the Nismo logo.
That’s nice bit of knowledge! :)
But now one bit of knowledge to you. That thing ain’t a spoiler. It’s a wing. They aren’t the same thing.
Wing=increase downforce
Spoiler=reduce lift and/or drag
Hope you found that information useful :)
Well thanks for that good bit of knowledge never knew the GT-R’s spoiler is adjustable
Nice, you are from the netherlands too?
Actually, I believe the stock wing doesn’t have that, but the Nismo wing does. Can’t be certain since I forgot if I read that from Nissan/Nismo or Wikipedia :p
This isn’t just a R34GTR thing, my Evo VI RS2 had a system just like this. Only it had 3 ‘settings’ for the front side and 2 at the back side. And does the R33GTR also have this? Still, would be good to see more of this stuff!
Sounds like their should be an article on the proper name for auto parts. I’m sure lots of diy mechanics out there have misconceptions on what parts are called(myself most likely being one of them)
Do you know where i can find this car in the netherlands or can contact its owner? (Zijn ook nederlands btw)
This is a spoiler …
