I would have gone for a dual plane element version had one popped up, but as I wasn't about to spend $2500 plus on a wing I took what was available in the right sort of sizing for the car, in excellent condition. Most wings were too small. I was also quite set on either the C-West or Voltex as I wanted something proven, and the Voltex popped up first.

I actually used to have a dual plane C-West but in aluminium. I was defected my first week of having it on so I got rid of it! It was also a bit heavy, noisy and not wide enough.

With the correct front bar with dive planes, mated to a nice undetray, chopped rear bar with diffuser I think it would make meaningful gains in cornering force - but what do I know! :whistling:

Something like this:

my car is alot more well behaved now with the wing on, most noticably under heavy braking.

i got this gt style one a while ago now, but after reading info off this thread.

as stated by others, a wing is a bandaid for other setup issues sometimes, best to develope suspension before adding wing.

if only i listened to that advise lol.

What width and height Adz? I am expecting that the R34 GTR wing I am running to be inferior to a wing like yours...so doing a bit of homework in case i need to buy something.

In regard to height, with my very limited knowledge of airflow over the roof of a car a rear wing should be level (or close to) with the roof line in order to use this airflow. Adz's above looks perfect.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
