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:

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
