Hey everyone, i'm curious to hear your thoughts on wether my car looks better with the GTR wing or better with out it?

P.S. It will be lowered in the future! Sorry about the picture set up as I don't know how to resize or get the picture directly displayed on the post side by side

I've been told that they look to much like a sedan with the wing off! I actually took it off for a while and then it went nuts and no one had a wing, so to be different, I thought i'd put the wing back on. My only problem with the wing is the M-spec front bar because the wing gives a performance car aura but the entire front end is soft, round and not menencing at all!

Cheers for the responses, keep them coming >_<

Looking at the pics again, I think if i have the center intake of the front bar extended up for the intercooler and maybe extend the lower edge down a couple of cm's all the way around the bar it might balance out the more aggressive look of the rear spoiler. What do you guys think?

I know it comes down to my personal taste but i known you guys see hundreds of skylines modded in different ways and it's always good to see things from a different perspective >_<

No wing, its not a GTR

I took my wing off my GTR.

Makes it look more sleak IMO......

Note, the car has since been dumped, had the GTR badge put on and had the stock rims replaced.

That pic was fresh out of the panel shop.

So yeah, WING OFF i say...... :P:D

I think at its current height the wing looks ok but when you lower your car and you get a more aggressive squat to it, the rear end almosts appears lower and fatter. (an optical illusion if you will)

Cheers for your inputs :P

Your photo is "case and point" of something else i was going to say = I think the wing off look really promotes that low fat drifter appeal which to set it off nicely, you really need a great set of deep dishes like yours which look sweet. Where as I have forged alloy, super light weight (sumwhat pretty) white enkei NTO3 racing rims. A performance orrientated rim but also look pretty which causes one of those optical illusions I was talking about causing the car car to look slimmer than if i had dishies.

The point to the ramble is at the moment the wing acsentuates the look and it will have to be reassessed when lowered :O

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
