Aftermarket Spoiler For R34 Gtr

[Roy]

Voltex, Cusco...does anyone know whats a reasonable product that I can source locally?

Or if I have to import one, a place where I wont be charged a fortune for freight

Something along the lines of...

[Marlin]

For r32 or r34 mate?

[Roy]

R34...my rear boot lid is drilled for the R34 wing currently installed so would like to use the existing holes

[Marlin]

Understood!

Are you getting on the aero-train?

[Roy]

I have two bootlids, one is plain, the other has the std R34 GTR wing on it. I only did a 6-8 laps at Winton with the rear spoiler and I dont think it makes much of a difference. When I get a chance I want to throw the wings and boot lids on a trailer and test one day at Winton...since I am moving to within a 45min drive of Winton for a project there are going to be plenty of Friday practices that I run down for

[Marlin]

Uhuh. I have two boots as well, one with replica 32 GTR wing and Nismo lip, other with ARC alloy wing with adjustable gurney flap. ARC defs creates more rear downforce, but unbalanced it front to rear (I don't have a front splitter).

Suprisingly, adding the Nismo lip to the stock GTR wing made a noticable difference. Evidently creates a high pressure zone atop the boot lid.

[Roy]

Well, I have a front undertray, though its not on the car at the moment as it makes a wheel alignment a pain and I need to get the car aligned and the oil cooler installed properly as the panel beater all that time ago didnt have the time to mount it properly. Also makes it a pain to get to the brake air guides etc which I can now finally finish because the Stoptechs are on and never coming off

So when the boot lid goes on I will have the undertray on

[Marlin]

I have an undertray/skid plate, it made a small improvement but no match for "big wing like Mig fighter jet" (Russian accent)

I hope to get the mojo to make a front splitter extension about 4/5 inches to actually get some front downforce, rather than just trying to minimise lift.

I'll MMS ya tonight Bris, might have something.

[Beer Baron]

you want voltex wing big boy. bit expensive but heaps good white man magic.

either that or use the C-West GT wing II - Suzuka like what I sold berry for his R34 (in it's V1 guise). they make R34 bolt on version and it works bloody well.

[Roy]

Thanks for the heads up.

It would be good if I could put a leading edge lip on the front of my undertray. Will e easy to do, only problem is I drive my car daily so god knows the Cossie is a nightmare being only 50mm off the ground...dont want the R32 to be the same so would have to be removable for daily driving duties....the ideal solution I have is too expensive so wont go there

hi fellas, sorry for the thread hijack.

Would the r33 GTR N1 Spolier blade create better downforce as a result of the lip running along the back?

In comparison to standard R33 GTR blade?

[Roy]

There are twin blade R33 rear spoilers. Pretty rare and expensive when you find them. Think they were a Nismo option or off the 400R

[On Edge]

have seen them,

the one im looking at is this one

im curious to know whether this design improves downforce

[hrd-hr30]

if you've got two boot lids, so who cares how many holes there are in one of them?

I'm sure expensive Voltex wings are very good, but my $300 CF China wing worked well enough to totally transfom my car from near uncontrolable oversteer to plough understeerer in back to back sessions on the same day not touching anything else on the car. While only costing ~3kph in top speed, but that was into a headwind that day... And it dented the hatch in on my 180SX. I went 7 tenths quicker than before on those tyres, while being very compromised by understeer. If you could balance that out with front aero, you'd easily make at least that much time again. probably more. If a $3000 Voltex wing works better, its only going to make your life more difficult to get enough front aero.

[Roy]

Even though i have two bootlids I would rather not have either of them drilled full of holes that are not being used. They are both re-sprayed body colour and if running the winged bootlid I still want the car to look neat

[On Edge]

Roy what do you think of that blade I posted?

[Roy]

The gurney flap would make a difference. But a dual plane wing is technically a better solution. You need one of these...but woudl cost waaaaay more

But, truth is I dont pretend to know that much about aero. To me its all wank for 99% of us. We end up with ugly cars with parachutes attached...but there are a few basic concepts that seem best to follow

[On Edge]

That looks like the nismo one, yeah twin blade would theoretically work better, hence the 34 blade, thanks for the reply

[Snowman]

Brisby - I have one of those Aeromotion active wing thingies - you can have it if you want it?
