Hey all,

Was having a good look at the rear wings off of a Holden V8 supercar over the weekend and wouldn't mind trying to get my hands on one for my car. Does anyone here have any connections to sourcing one of these secondhand/not using anymore/last years wing etc??

Thanks

Dane

my advice is don't listen to troys advice.

get the biggest, nastiest wing you can. sadly my JGTC wing is gone now. finding a home on a silvia.

I regret selling my big nasty one now as it would not look too out of place on my car anymore with the new rims, and cage, and seat, and winglets etc. oh well.

just volunteer as a marshall at a race like adelaide or indy. there is bound to be plenty of carnage on a street course. then when one gets knocked off, run out, grab it, then keep on running!!

Yeah, functionality is the reason I want a supercar wing, at least I will know it will do something. The type X wing I'm not sure about...

Functional. They are a pretty big wing, and they run in combination with undertrays on V8 Supercars. Sure give one a go. But i think you will find Nissan didn enough homework on teh Type X wong that you will be ok.

All gut, no real science, but i know of two cars that are slowers around Sandown and PI with aftermarket wings

That wing would have been good Richard, but I figured Duncan had got it anyways. I like this biggest, nastiest wing I can find idea, hence the supercars :w00t: At least they're suitably wide enough for my car, and cheaper than a big f**koff C-west carbon job.

Troy, I'm planning on running an undertray as well. I'm also aware of it possibly making me slower, so I was going to try just an undertray to start with to minimise the drag of a big wing, and if I'm not happy then invest in a wing. I feel that I need something on there, and ideally it would be some sort of lip/ducktail, but I'm worried that something like that may throw my aero out of whack.

there is a JacK daniels V8 SC look a like at sports bar atm in crown complete with rear wing. I say down a few beers to enlarge the balls and shrink the brain then get in there with your tool kit. :blush:

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
