Now is the interesting predicament.

Does the OP come back and try to defend the zero credibility he has.

Or does the OP stay silent, checking the thread but not replying, and be made to look like more of an ass

Decisions decisions

never seen a little drifting wing before... how does a little wing drift??

but i spose anything can happen in your world.

ummm it more like fills in the cars fins and its just like a little wing dont noe the name of it thout

I like the 'driftin wing' better.. the d style lips that cover the gap between the boot and rear panel..

GTR wings look ok also

I think you have done a good thing by taking off the stock wing.. Don't really go much on them.

yea there about the same price?

if you put a drift wing on it will change the aerodynamics of the car, the "wings" as you call then help in keeping the rear end stable at high speeds as it channels the air flow coming over the roof, it increases the velocity at which the air is travelling by squeezing into the area between the fins. this massive pressure increase causes a vacuum behind the car which sucks the rear end to the ground, increasing traction and high speed stability in a straight line, as its not affected by cross winds or wind drag.

that is probably why you should leave it alone as the previous owner has taken it off for such reasons and is why you were able to run an 11sec pass with only standard mods.

ask any racer..... any real racer.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
