Now I'll bet my left nut, that if the R35 was really hard to drive quick...everyone would be saying how good it is because its a mans car.

Tbh I wouldnt care if the things ran 55secs in reverse around wakefield. They are still a rich kid poser mobile, Just like most Porsches, Ferraris etc.

As for this wing making a 1 sec difference around a slow track like wakie....well I'm a bit skeptical

But then again...if I just spend 3+ grand on a towel rack id want to justify it to myself as well.

i am neither rich, nor a kid. i bought the r35 because it's a track focused car. literally the quickest thing this side of $450k (road car). A spectacular achievement from nissan. i've done 17 track days since i bought the thing; the few people i know who own one bought them for the same reason (and actually track their cars regularly).

ffs what wrong with some people. why all the farking hate bs?

Because they drive the equivalent of Morris Minors (but not as collectible) hence they hate you. Easy isnt it :unsure:

As MD says... He that is not jealous is not in love. :)

I just hate everyone that is doing track days, not too many in Hyderabad :laugh: About the only motorsport i have is payign rickshaw drivers money to hammer through corners on two wheels :)

Quite the contrary. They'd be saying what a P.O.S it is for the money. This car can't win when everyones totally adversarial. Its crap because its too good and drives itself or conversely its crap because its just crap.....

I might of missed it but whats the retail on one of these?

Might need to add one to the project.

Hi Luke,

There is a product matrix table showing the differences in specs between each model of Aeromotions wing and US prices here ...

Aeromotions Dynamic Wings are a proven quantity and there is a lot of hard data to show how well they work.

These cars all run Aeromotions wings ...

- the Cannonball R35 GT-R (winner of One Lap Of America)

- the Crawford Subaru WRX STi

- the AMS/NOS Energy Drink EVO X

- Mark Berry's Advan / Hi Octane Racing R34 GT-R

See this post which includes a lot of info about lap times etc ... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=5169103

As we wrote in that post ...

Aero plays a much greater role in laptimes than many people realise, which is part of the reason why so many of the World Time Attack Challenge cars are doing aero development in the lead up to Superlap in May.

The key is the laptime, which speaks for itself and clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of the Aeromotions Dynamic Wings.

The stopwatch doesn't lie.

Make sure the rickshaw driver has been smoking the local leaf, it could be considered the human equivalent of ESP, and would classify you as a nancy boy should you hop in his hot-rod :laugh:

Most people aren't really hating on the car, I don't think ownership and popularity is as paradoxical as you might think. I'm thinking alot of the supposed haters just don't like it that on one hand someone will say this car is one of the greatest achievements of an auto-maker to date and on the other hand take more credit/glory than they feel the driver is deserving of.

The jealousy factor is a load of crap IMO. That's what parents tell bullied school children. How many people hated on the previous king before the R35 showed up and took its crown? By that rationale any snubbing of the ZR1's achievements must be out of jealousy, when I know there are a few of you who simply would never go near anything American on principle alone, even if these cars shared the exact same retail price. People are allowed to dislike a car without envying it. Mistaking someone's criticism for jealousy is one of the worst / most ignorant egocentricities one can display...

If i knew how to post 1.2mb vids i have footage :bunny: Truth is know way i would get in one when they are doing 2 wheel u-ys accrss city intersections almost getting t-boned :P You wont get me touching betel leaf either :)

Was the original poster able to find logs from with and without the wing? Its a dramatic improvement over a simgle lap, did Nissan miss something with the wing on the std car, they put all that money into the chassis, gearbox and electronis ...seems strange that the wing woudl be so rubbsh

I don't think Nissan missed anything. They just went for the best balance. I'm sure carrying an aeromotions wing set for a fast lap around a tight circuit the GT-R wont get anywhere near 300 KPH on an autobahn. Economy would probably also suffer with that dragging behind you... Plus its a bit over the top styling wise :ermm:

I understand all that, but this is the nissan flagship model, with how many millions of dollars spent on development. I understand any production car is always going to be a compromise, but is the R35 shape the way it is because of aero performance. Seems strange to me that if they simply put a wing on it then they would have been able to lap Nurburgring 5-10seconds quicker... but yeh.

I think they'd be pushing shit up hill to get any wing on stilts passed any pedestrian safety regs mate. The thing has a pop up bonnet (which Giant and I found in our first rally with the shit box :ermm:) to bounce them over the roof and cushion them from engine strike, not much good if you survive the front only to be chopped in half down the back :bunny:

Hey, am I onto something or what :P

Wow, you guys are very easy to stir,

While I rate the R35 as a fast car, I still dont feel they are a track focused car as such, I feel they are a quick Gran Tourer.

But then again I havent driven one so I really shouldnt comment lol

But to stay on topic, When the wing lifts under brakes, does it unsettle the car?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
