TrevS Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I am sure this question has been asked many a time but I couldn't find any posts on the subject when I did a quick search. Basically I am looking into the possibility of fitting an active spoiler to an NA supra and ideally I'd like to get the whole thing working as it should do in a TT so fitting the motor, ECU, dash button etc Has anyone done a full conversion before, is it a difficult job and whats required? If it is a big job does anyone know someone on here that can fit them. Many thanks Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Garfy Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 most cars (and I think even N/A's) have the part of the loom in the front bumper, but not all have it behind the dash where the ecu should plug in, which I found out on mine, have a look at this thread, it should tell you all you need to know. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=62263&highlight=active+spoiler By the way, I am thinking of taking mine off now, to save weight, so if your interested make me an offer?

miko_supra Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 yeah i installed on on mine. took an afternoon to fit it. and i later discovered i had all of the wiring in place, so i quickly hooked it all up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt _Aero top_ Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I've done this but i haven't got all the wiring but it can be wired in manually using a relay . I've heard if your supra has abs you should have all the wiring loom .... Not sure how true it is but thought it would be worth a mention .

TrevS Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Well I have a 96 facelift NA supra but from reading the above thread it seems to be that its a bit of a lottery if the car has all the nessersary wiring required. I guess its best to check to see if the wirings there before buying the spoiler and by the sounds of it if everythings there its just a case of pluging everything in correct?

Ill check out my car to see if the wiring is in place behind the dash and front bumper and if so I might be interested in your spoiler. Do you have the original dash button for the spoiler also and would you consider helping me fit it if I was to buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Matt Harwood put one on my facelift NA, but it doesn't work identically to original design in that it doesn't deploy at speed - but I have the ability raise and lower at the press of a button. I'm fairly sure we went down this route because not all the right gubbins was in the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 As above if you don't have the parts to make it come down as per oem then use this wiring guide to make it manual like Faye says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 anyone have an idea as to how to wire it up so that i can select it to come up and down with all of the oem ecu/switching/wiring in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Garfy Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 anyone have an idea as to how to wire it up so that i can select it to come up and down with all of the oem ecu/switching/wiring in place? see above link, it does have the oem wiring diagram in there, I did atempt to do it, but couldn't get it to work.

Do you have the original dash button for the spoiler also and would you consider helping me fit it if I was to buy it? yes I do have the switch, I would swap it for your blanking panel, also I would want your front section of the undertray, as this comes with the spoiler, yes I would help you fit it, would make it a lot easier, if your car doesn't have the wiring it would be a simple case of removing all the wiring from mine and fitting it straight into yours.
