My old car at AutoSalon:

46578_1561963057142_1477316364_1894027_3551147_n.jpg

Apparently pulled 310awkw on their dyno.

Nice shoes he has put on it but an ugly wing!

Unless the owner tracks the car... The GT Wing is useless.

I don't mind FTOs. I nearly bought one until I realised how bloody slow they were! The handling is quite good though, and I normally hate FWDs with a passion.

If I was going to drive a girly looking lightweight car I'd take my MR2 turbo :) RWD > FWD

I'm quite sure our 10KG rear wing is useless too, probably never heard of lightweight carbon fibre back in the 90's :)

I guess that's why my GTR does not have a spoiler :P

Even on track does this kinda wing really help? thought they were just made just for looks...

If the wing is angled at the correct spot, it will improves aerodynamic performance at high speed.

To increase drag or generate down force, helps stabilise the rear of the car = More control = Faster you go.

The angle of attack of the wing on some cars can be adjusted to increase downward force over the rear wheels, but it has the dual result of increasing drag.

Too much drag = Slow you down.

Your R33 GTR and Nathan's R34 GTR wing / blade / spoiler can be adjusted to a certain angle.

Nismo released a Boot Lip Spoiler for the R32 GTR to increase more down force as the stock spoiler for the R32 GTR was in a fixed position.

To actually test to see if the adjustment of the wing / blade / spoiler has made any improvement, you need to test it through a Wind Tunnel.

Or at the engineering department of the car manufacture themselves.

Or take it out to a race track and hammer it hard down the straight and through a corner to see if you notice any improvement in handling.

:P

Unfortunately, majority of the shit cars running with GT Wings for street use are mostly used for cosmetics = Fucking ricers!

Until you goto a track day and see the GT Wings, it is all for a purpose.

Hence the upgrade to a GT Wing is justifiable, at 3KG.

Downforce + weight reduction.

Topic over :P

Fair enough...though they were more cosmetic than actual use...ill actually play with my wing and see if i can feel any difference...thanks mate...

If I fit one to my backside, will I walk faster?

Something to think about.......

Well you might also be able to fly with proper angled wings... :(

Woo came 13th out of 44 on the dyno.

Congrats bro...great stuff...

The Announcer guy at the dyno said that black gtr was a "circuit tuned track car" and not at its fullest potential for power. He said his highest recorded was 350 but on the day from memory it got something like 295 299 310kw between the 3 runs.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
