They look good on a racecar as they serve a purpose but dumb on a street poser. Sorry it's only my opinion but put one on your car and 99.9% of the public will be laughing their asses off at you and think you're a knob.

If that's the reaction you want then go for it.

My missus is a car nut but while waiting for me after work told me about this stupid looking 350z with a oversized wing drive past. Guess what it was blue. Sure stands out but for all the wrong reasons

Cheers

Chris

Well then i must be in the .1% of population that think they look good. R34 that is ur opinion and not generally the opinion of 99.9% of the public. personally i think ur a knob. this thread is about GT WINGS and where u can get em. obviously by a person that wants one and likes them. dont you think it is more constructive to help the person get a decent priced/ quality wing then to sit here and write comments like those above.

But then what can i say. SAU is turning into a bunch of hardcore elitist racers isnt it. *sigh*

Simplelogic i think the spoiler on ur car looks mad. i would love to go for a ride in it one day even if it is an NA. MMMM suplah :D

Psiker your a TOOL

SAU is turning into a WHORES WASTELAND with no substance or meaning lately.

If you where around from DAY 1 which Chris was, you would have seen how much he has contributed and helped others. If it wasnt for guys like Chris and Ken the WA section would be of a much lower standard.

Before you go shooting your mouth off and not really adding anything of value to the thread or forum ..... choose your words carefully.

Well i beg ur pardon but calling someone a knob because they like GT wings IMO does not add to the Value or quality of this site. i only used the word "knob" because he refered to simplelogik as a "knob" have a read of the whole thread mate not just the end. And yes i do know how much value Ken and Chris have added and i generally agree with most of their comments. except this one. i have talked to them both at cruises before and actually think they are both top blokes with plenty of info for ppl like me who are trying to get started into the import scene. I just think that maybe comments like 99.9% of the population will think u are a knob if u put on a Wing. thats not helpful or constructive. If u dont like Gt wings why bother posting comments like that in this thread. Maybe he could have said "instead of a GT wing why dont u go the GTR spoiler option etc."

I agree also SAU is getting "whorey" but it is also getting elitist with people bagging out even the slightest bit of rice. If the rice bagging doesnt slow down this forum will turn into street commodore.com who love posting topics like. "I chopped an excel last night"

I havent been here from day one i admit that. but i did read these forums a lot before i even made my first post. In the end what it comes down to is the person will do to their car what the person wants to do to the car no matter what u say. A persons car is part of their identity and other people dont have the right to call people "Gay" or a "knob" because they like a certain thing on a car

thanx

No need to make it personal mate as I was only voicing my opinion and stated as such.I called no one a knob for liking them just aired what others impression of you would be.

Simplelogik

For some reason my webbrowser has only just let me view the pic of your car and let me tell you IMHO your car looks great and the wing is nothing like the size of the wing on the other white Supra I saw or the blue 350Z. I'll have a ride if it's on offer anyday :(

Cheers

Sorry :)

and for the record i hate excels :( but yes i know ppl who think they are way cool.

didnt mean to make it personal i just tend to get a bit steamed up when people seem to show no tolerance of other people and what they like which alot of ppl on this forum usually do :)

IMO u are not one of those people

Daniel

i dont believe i patronized you in anyway. and if u feel i did im sorry.

this has been resolved IMO i believe. Yes i acted in the same way but on the same token there was no reason for u to make the comments u made by calling me a TOOL. so technically u behaved in the same way as well.

have a full read of my posts please u will find that on the whole i agree with ur comments. there was no need for u to make the above post

When I consider this issue I think my objections are not the concept of GT wings (after all my R34 had that style as std ) but the size of them. Simplelogik’s car looks great but some look so tall that a stiff crosswind would bend them.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
