Yo-Yo Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) Hey guys, My R34 came from Japan with the optional Altia aero wing (aka MASSIVE SHOPPING TROLLEY WING). It was the only thing I didn't like about the car, didn't realise what a pain in the ass it would be to have removed at the time... Anyway, just thought I'd share some before and after photos. I was originally going to go wingless which is nice, but seemed too "sedan-like" and plain to me. I love how it looks now, but just wanted to see what others think All that's left to do now is fix up the 7 bolt holes left in the rear quarters by the old wing Cheers! PJ Shopping trolley wing in all it's glory... Without a spoiler... New wing!

Modena Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 The wingless look is ok, what spoils it majorly is the scratches/holes on the rear of the boot... and to paint that will cost you a few hundred easy, maybe half a grand so just leave that little wing on if money is an issue.

I bought mine from Autojoy in Parramatta, but exact same you can buy from Just Jap hotness... If you want to sell that rear bar at any time dude, dont hesitate to PM me lol. That things awesome and probably a genuine plastic one?and i think the wingless makes it look alot "fatter" at the rear with that rear bar. thats why i want it yeap, genuine plastic and proper grills on the bottom half, exxy to replace I'd imagine Looks great with new wing fitted, that high wing was an absolute abortion :laughing-smiley-014: The wingless look is ok, what spoils it majorly is the scratches/holes on the rear of the boot... and to paint that will cost you a few hundred easy, maybe half a grand so just leave that little wing on if money is an issue. Funnily enough, even though I'm paying off 2 cars money isn't an issue as I still live at home. It's just finding the spare time off work to get it done I drive a company car to work and back so not really an issue to get it done straight away Thanks everyone!

Granthem Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 off topic, but on topic sorta. Which car do you prefer? the Z or the 34. Obviously they will both have good and bad, but what honestly do you like more?

Yo-Yo Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) off topic, but on topic sorta. Which car do you prefer? the Z or the 34. Obviously they will both have good and bad, but what honestly do you like more? Honestly, I like them equally, but for different reasons My R34, being modified, has that distinct 'tuner' feel to it that makes it so addictive to drive, it's rough around the edges but is an absolute machine to drive (as you'd probably know ) The Z has a very refined finish being a newer car, it's fast, but makes it's power in a different way, almost V8 like... even when you're gunning it it doesn't feel as "fast" because the motor is effortless and has a great chassis. Actually draws less attention, people tend to snob me when I drive in the Z where I'll find people will wave or beep when I drive in the skyline. I know I'll have to get rid of one or the other at some point when I bite the bullet and buy a house. Maybe sell both and buy a v36 skyline when they're available to import? updated looks and performance of the Z with a backseat for a future family someday?

Owgasm Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 It looks much better than the trolley wing but for some reason it doesn't suit the rest of your body, but is definitly a step up. Wingless without dumping looks weird, it sits too high imo. Looks good though Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/205792-finally-got-rid-of-shopping-trolley-wing/#findComment-3644491 Share on other sites More sharing options...
