Hi all,

I have heard this age-old argument so thought it would be interesting to base a poll on the question of what are people's preference on rear wings (spoilers)?

I, for one, am against shopping-cart style wings but wings like the GTR wing on a R33 is a definite...I personally hate wingless sports cars and think it just makes the car look so weak without it but others argue the wingless look is neat and stealth etc. What do you guys think? Please share your views and explain why?

Cheers,

well my opinion is that it depends on the car, and as with all things its all about proportion.

gtst's look better without the wing, as they dont have the width to back it up... they arent wide, so they can be made to look low and sleek..

gtrs look good with their respective wings as thats what makes them them.. so to speak..

evo's and wrx's look good with their own wings as thats what makes them them.

i dont mind GT wings if the car they are on has a proper skirt kit and the bottom is wider, or as wide, as the wing. in other words.. a big wide gt wing on a standard r32 rear end looks wack... but if the r32 has rear pods and a rear diffuser it makes it look in proportion and tough as.

cheers

Depending on the car...

I agree with Linton as well.

Factory Standard spoilers on the GTR's are good enough.

R32 GTR you can get away with no spoiler, R33 GTR spoiler is a must and same with the R34 GTR, but depending on the style you want, you can get away with it, but I strongly advise to leave the R34 GTR factory spoiler on.

Drift car, wingless looks best or just keep the stock one on.

I agree with everything said here, however i can't cop the standard wing on supra's. Much better wingless.

You see I am completely the opposite... Always loved the look of Supras with either the standard wing or a GT Wing. IMO they are one car that can get away with outlandish bodykits because the factory shape is so bulky/curved.

One of my pet hates is seeing Supras with no wings (seems to be about 70% or higher these days). IMO they look like they are missing something... (which they are).

But each to their own as they say...

Yeah for sure.

I really like the OEM spoiler for the Supra too.

i dont agree. i had a black supra with no spoiler but it had a roof wing thing and i reckon it looked gangsta as f**k (prob coz it was my first car and all my friends had integras and corollas and shit lol)

the supra is a fine example of proportion

this car doesnt have the lower skirt kit... makes the car like high and skinny.. which makes the wing look a bit out of wack.. even if you dump it, without the skirt kit, the car is too long for how thick it is

this car does have the skirt kit... even without being lowered or having big wheels.. its made the car thicker, appear lower and the wing fits in with the rest of the shape.

this one to me, although nice, just looks unfinished at the back.. with the wing i think it would look cranky as.

its harder to make a supra look bad than it is to look good.

^^The Toyota / TRD Aero kit looks good on the white Supra looks great.

I also like some Veilside kits made for the Supra. Cuz it is a wider looking car I think It can get away with a fat bodykit.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.
