How much performance can you get out of these little fins. I mean what take .1 of a second off your 1/4 mile time or...? Also they quote 2 give you better fuel economy. If you drive a performance car of any type im not to sure you should be worrying about that extra few k's/litre you are getting. If it floats your boat though its your own car. Not my piece of cake though.

LOLZ! As fuel prices rise we may see more of this and other crazy stunts appearing...!! :P

"dependent " =)

lol - well no wing means they do nothing

so its effectives is kinda determined by the rest of the aero package hahaha

alright alright - dependant :P

well i havent seen specific data relating to the drop in the drag coefficient of the vehicle, if they do drop that then yes the fuel economy can effected for the better

That, and they are only going to really do anything at high speed. Hell most wings etc dont even start to work up over 120 or so.

Its a pointless mod.

Although this supra sounds like it looks a little like a hedgehog, so Im sure that has some comic value.

id be thrilled to knock a .1sec off my quarter mie time... if i thought these would do it id buy em.

As it is, they seem a lil bit ghey.

Employ some common sense.

Yes i remember buying $10 parts in the hope that they'll make my car faster. Bt they were things like spark plugs... CAI piping... water induction.... etc

A good clue is that this thread isin the 'cosmetic and styling mods' section, not the performance area. :-)

these versions do not look as good as some others that are avaialble

as for quatermile time, that would be hard to test without a wind tunnel.

zcarparts.com have some really nice Carbon ones for sale

as for reading 0.1 seconds into the fins, i doubt it, the design is to aid in increasing downforce generated by your rear wing ..

I do have some common sense thankyou. The topic is named "Wow! These Must Work" obviously a little bit of sarcasm...

Hence my "sarcastic" comment on 1/4 mile times and fuel econ...

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:

Yup, thats the one. He parked right next to me in Footscray and trying to look tough taking his mum shopping hahahaha.

I'll try get some snaps of his car if I see him around Footscray.

the car is fully riced!

I finally ordered a evo-like original from Japan, so I got these ones for sale ... note: used and some need replacement double-sided tape - but willing to stell all 40 of them or so for $40.00 inclusive postage - PM if you're interested.

Cheers.

Used Vortex spikes - I think there was 20 in each pack - I bought 2... so yeah, whatever that's left, wanna get rid of them.

Interested, PM me and they're yours.

I got the proper ones on now - looks nicer as the spikes are bigger.

But these ones aren't too bad either.

Spunky, do you have a photo of them on ur car? When I saw them I could see the potential in them to look good, but couldnt work out if they did or not. I'd be really interested to see them

Yeah sure, this a old picture of my car before a full respray, new wings and new Evo 6 spikes... but yeah, you'll get an appreciation for them.... let me know if you want to buy them.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
