If you like the wing, get it installed. At the end of the day, it's your car, you're the one who has to look at the wing everyday. Don't let the opinions of others sway you. You will definitely be unique with that wing.

That aside, I think it sucks balls. That company should have been renamed NO-LUCK.

LOL OMG i was just typing the same thing... Multiple Personalities?

I think I already answered this in that thread, where I already said "each to their own".

??? Wide-body kits aren't just cosmetic. Wide body kits mean that you can accomodate tyres with a mcuh wider profile, which means better grip = better track times. Some also add downforce, some have well placed intakes in them to cool the engine bay or brakes. They also usually don't add much weight as they are cf. The car in the pic isn't mine, btw.

I never said that people should stop putting neons on their cars, just that I wouldn't. All I said was that I personally consider them to be ricey as they add no performance; they are only cosmetic and broadcast to everyone around (intentionally or unintentially) to "Look at me! Look at me!". I'm sure there might be a few incredibly well modified GTRs which also have neons on them. As I said earlier, each to their own.

yeah you said each to their own after we posted those comments ahahhaha

No I didn't. Look at the dates or the original thread if you really care... in chronological order

Dude, did I just miss something?

Rice = For show, not performance. Neons are the ultimate in rice technology. It doesn't matter if their on a shitbox lancer or a Veyron. As to why you would want to draw MORE attention to your skyline from the cops, that's a separate matter.

My philosphy has always been - you've got a fast car, don't let the cops know, enjoy it by yourself. That's why I keep my cars absolutely stock from the outside - even wheels and ride height are stock. But each to their own.

you think the cops dont know what a skyline is stupid? tskk what about those cars that pull good power + have neons? riced out? ahahaha
and whats with your display picture than? wats with the wide body? its doesnt need anymore weight added to the car? its already got performance? ahahaha and whats wrong with a lil cosmetic when you got the power you want already, as i said it might be for show, doesnt meen his going to drive with them on.

Anyway, to get back to the original question, everyone agrees the wing looks shit, as you said.

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
