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

my 2.34c

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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
