Found this on E-Bay today, and it must work, I mean the internet never lies, does it?

Altho, on the right car they may look kinda decent

Your link didn't work for me.... but this one should.

Fellas, I have these on my car... I did it not because I wanna be like an EVO (mind you the EVO ones are much larger and come in a dash-like display) - but instead I think they look nice, and they do at to the aerodynamics of the car... same with the spoiler, it limits downforce and therefore allows the car to move slightly quicker when downforce is minimized. I personally like them and they look nice on my car - totally personal though.

Cheers.

dont these come standard on Evos'? I've seen these on a supra fully riced up. Man the guy driving it was a total fob driving his mum. lol

Mate, I know exactly the Supra you're talking about... but you're wrong, he didn't have these - if he had only these on the room near the back window, I would've said 'fair enough personal taste' but he had the big-arse ones that actually have a led tip that light up at night like a Christmas tree. Oh boy, he didn't have just ten or twenty, the guy had around 50 or 60 on all over the car. Yes, all over - meaning, on the sides of the bonnet, near the lights, on the side of the front bar, the doors, sideskirts, near the quarter panel, boot, backbar, wing and up his arse too... it looked like a Staegarsaurus on steroids. And yes, he had no idea - Rice boy... saw him on Prince Highway in the eastern side of Melbourne one morning with a bunch of other rice-burners - look like a FOB mofo. Oh well, different people have different taste - what can you do?

Cheers,

Kevin

Everyone to their own buddy, but yeah - must agree it is RICE - can't say much about that? :(

Well they work when the rest of the cars aero package has been designed to work with it... Because if it is modifying the flow of air over the back of the car, but the car has been designed to not have them it could cause a negitive rather than a positive.

LoL!! is this the black supra? its the ugliest thing iv ever seen! i couldnt stop laughing tho, cracked me up hard!! he has around 40-50 of them all over the roof! :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014:

i find it interesting that some of you think that adding ten little one inch high sharks fins to the rear of your roof will make a noticeably difference to a car that ways more than 1.5t and is a 1.5m high... do the math :-)

Its like putting diffusers in the rear bar to improve undercar dynamics when u have ur exhaust and suspension and etc hanging down anyway...

seriously...

Well, perhaps the poster wants to 'add' something to his car within his budget - he's rightful to do so.

I mean, let's face it, we've all gone through the stage where every $5, $50, $300 dollars goes straight into the car.

I say good luck to him. >_<

40-50? How the heck can you fit so many on?

haha ye its hillarious! He dosnt have them in one row at the front like the evo's do. He has them in multiple rows all over the roof. The rows start from the front of the windscreen and finish at the rear windscreen on the roof.

Lol... a friend of mine runs the Vinyl shop that did the vinyls on his car. When his car was seen with a bunch of others, that was a cruise organised by my friend to get all his customers and friends together. Some of the cars weren't that great looking but there were quite a few quality cars there. Funny to say but that guy came along uninvited as far as i know, and his mum and sisters were in the car also along for the cruise.

From what my friend has told me, his mum picked majority of the stickers etc that are on his car, along with getting a massive shopping list of stuff thats not even on his car, he has a merc AMG badge on the back that has been cut up and stuck on to say GAM. I will try and find the photo that i took of that car on the day of the cruise to post up here.

Oh and all the shark fins that are on his car have LED's, but they all need to be switched on one by one... lol.

People like this should not be allowed near cars. I know it's personnal taste, but surely they have SOME idea of what actuall kinda sorta looks average?

BTW, have I told you guys about the new rallyart sticker I've got for my R33...?

just a little info -

the Z club in the USA went to the trouble of Wind Tunnel testing alot of different aero combos on the 240z and 280z, these exact vortex generators were tested and found to work with the correct type of wing on the back of the boot.

effectiveness is definately determined on the rest of the aero package on the car

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
