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

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.

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. >_<

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

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
