Rear Wing Options

Hey Guys,

Im looking for local rear wing options for my s14 200sx super sprint car without costing 2k plus. The arms and end plates can be made myself through work but i was looking for a basic wing element that works without costing the earth. Im assuming the ebay stuff is junk, also will be making a front splitter to suit aswell.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

I bought a cheapo $300 carbon fibre ebay wing a few years ago for my 180SX. Turned it into a plough understeerer (previously it was very pointy) and it dented the hatch around all the mounts. And the extra traction even out of ~80 or 90kph corners was drastically improved. It only cost about 3kph down the main straight according to the GPS, and despite ruining the handling balance it went almost a second quicker. If I took the time to get the car to work with the wing there should have been a fair bit more time to gain from it. I tried it only a couple of times. Added a rear swaybar to try and reduce the understeer, but felt no real difference - still plough understeered. Kept reducing the angle of the wing - still plough understeered. Eventually I took the wing off for a run to convince myself there wasn't something else going on. And it transformed from plough understeer to undriveable oversteer. And I put it into the armco! My 2c is that some cheap ebay wings can work very effectively.

    • Gday gents, been having a issue for a little while now and have come for some advice. car is a r34 gt-four (awd na sedan), when taking tight corners such as car parks and roundabouts feels as if the diff is locked on both ends, have literally snapped 3 shafts and issues doing my head in. Car has 60k klm so mechanical failure in the diff is unlikely but possible, been to 2 very reputable shops near where I live and both have had no luck. What would be my process of trying to find the cause? not too interested in pulling apart transfer cases just to find nothing, have these cars come out with electronic BS that might cause this? not too mechanically inclined so any information will probably be passed on an expert thanks in advance 
    • I realise that perhaps no one will in Japan will see this, but why not try anyway. What are you driving in Japan? I have a (sniff (;_;) ) 2018 Toyota Corolla Sports 1.2L Turbo 6MT. It has a class trailing 116PS and 190Nm power/torque... 😐 Why? Because back in 2018 there was only 1(?) manual transmission car available from Toyota which was the 86 (not including the Mark X GRMN 2015/2019), so when they released this one I had to support them by getting one in the hope that they would continue to release more manual models. As it turns out they released the Supra, Yaris, and GR Corolla all with manual transmissons after that. Mods are RSR Ti2000 Down springs, HKS panel filter, 18x8.5" Weds Sports SA-20R Face F with 215/40R18 Toyota Proxes Sport tyres. Eventually a full exhaust, boost controller sub-con, Blitz turbocharger and aero parts will be added before it gets replaced... 
    • It looks proper factory fitted. It's exactly how I would do it. Well done 👍
