Hi guys,

Something happened tonight, I came from a friend's party to find that some bastard got a hammer or something and decided to smash my GT-R style spoiler on my Skyline right in the middle. It is shattered to bits and everything looks like a bomb hit it. Luckily my Skyline is still in one piece.

Anyways, I am now faced with the decision of choosing a new wing for my ride. Good chance to swap to, I suppose.

I've done some research, I guess I am now twisting and turning between 3 types of wings/styles...

1. Go wingless

2. Go GT-R style wing (with led)

3. Go D-Wing (drift stealth wing)

4. Go GT-style wing - the one with the metal stands

What do you guys think? If you have some pics of your ride and your chosen preference of a spoiler, this would be great.

Thanks fellas.

Go Genuine GT-R wing... with nismo end caps!

Mate, there two reasons why I want to move away from the GT-R wing.

1. my ride is a GTS-T - not GT-R - why would I have a GT-R wing.

2. It's too expensive, the replicate is already around $500 without paint and fitting.

Click here for example: http://www.carmate.com/product_details.php...W&p_id=8958

3. Everyones got them.

I had a replicate GT-R wing on my car... what do you think?

....so there are 3 reasons

depends what color ur car is IMO,

GTR wing suits all

D wing suits silver s2 lines

dun like wingless, looks odds on r33;s

Cheers mate.

My ride is black - I got a full GT-R kit, but the GT-R wings are just too bloody common (excuse the pun); what do you think?

Does anyone know what wing is on this Skyline in this clip.. ??

It looks like a stealth wing plus some other wing

wingless on a r33 is cheapest and therefore shittest looking. the rear quarters aren't level with the boot. if you want true wingless you're gonna have to shell out for a flush fitting boot. which actually does look good.

drift/stealth wing is ok but im not a fan

the gtr wing on the other hand looks the best and is my pick. doesnt matter if your car is a gtst, just replace the bits on the side with plain ones or nismo as mentioned above.

gt wing can work but its difficult on r33s cos of their roundness. also is a lot less legal than the rest

+100 wow, most informative post I've ever seen. Thanks so much basti, much much appreciated.

I think I might go for the GT-R wing again (had it already) but guess this suits the R33 best.

Yeah, I might put Nismo on the sides then.

Do you know of a place that sells GT-R wings at a good price - I will need it to be painted too.

Damn, the Jun wing is so hot - I like it - but do not know where to get it?

Cheers,

jake33 - check the business traders section, a couple of them stock it

I picked up one of these the other day really cheap from an import wreckers :). Bought it mainly for Autosalon & show'n'shines, it's not a wing I'd really want on my daily.

Mate i went a original GTR boot lid and spoiler when i did mine i bought it from a bloke that had rolled his GTR ay wakefield i had the boot lock cut out and welded before the shinny stuff was applied and people comment on the ass end all the time so IMO Go THE GTR it didn't let me down GL.

haha that pic of the red 33s wing is soooo ghey!

roughly how much are the stealth/drift wings to buy?????

Yeah, the red wing is kinda gay indeed. a bit of overkill for sure.

matey, the drift wing is around $200 unwanted, painting will cost around $150 - so you're looking at around $350 painted then you'll have to look at installation costs - $50.00 would do it.

Good luck. Let me know if you've found cheaper!

That's hot bro! Thanks for the info and pics. Yeah, I had a GT-R replica wing on too.

The only reason I don't want to go back to a GT-R wing is that everyone - nearly everyone John and Peter has one. LOL

Well fellas, if the polls have anything informative to tell; it would suggest that the GT-R replica wings seem to be everyone's preference followed by the humble, but luxury-like drift wing.

It really makes me wonder, everyone wants to be different, but yet everyone seems to not mind being way too similiar. I guess because the GT-R wing is nice and really brings out the R33's true looks. Ummm...

Has anyone tried this.... a drift wing with a R34 Nismo GT-R style wing on... I think I may challenge the status quo and do this. I will post up pics for everyone soon - it looks pretty aggressive.

Regards,

Although the GT-R replica wings have left the rest for dead - I must ask... what do people see in the little duck wing (Drift wing) that is so appealing, it looks weak as fark... LOL

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
