Are those prices for real????

But yeah you have the idea of what I want to do - raise the height of my stock wing.

But thanks - I knew those extension exisited but we couldn't find out WHO made them. But for those prices forget it. I'd rather buy a whole c-west wing and have the choice of using the whole wing or just the uprights - and I'd still be saving money.

Doh... that price HAS to be for the whole wing...

I read it as ¥20,580... somebody has to sell them or copies of them.

I guess you could get some copies made. But as I have recently experienced, getting things made is a painful experience.

Yeah my biggest concern about getting something MADE is having the wing fall off under load down the main straight of Phillip Island. What I want to do will put greater pressure on the wing - which it why I really want to look the uprights before I buy them.

The stock wing is quite big and I think it would do a fantastic job on the track if it was just at a more useable height.

Snow.

My next project after the Turbo ducts is actually replacing the standard plastic uprights on the GT-T wing with Billet Machined Aluminium uprights which I will design myself.

I'd assume that the same bolt holes would be used on the boot of the GT-T (as the factory would punch the holes) but the top might be different.

I wouldn't thin kyou would have to worry about the strength. I will be making then about 8mm wide and very ridig.

They will be bolting into the boot with a bracket on each side, not just on one side.

I'll let you know when I get closer.

Everything about that upright looks good - except for the base. Looks like its just glued on! And that scares the crap outta me! LOL.

Check out the c-west design. Very sturdy uprights and as you can see a large area where the base fixes - similar in area to the R34 stock ones you can see in the mines extensions above.

It also states that the gt wing was/is removed maybe he has it for sale?? the boot mounts seem to be more solid.

Cheers Rob

I've PM'ed the owner of that car and asked to come and have a look at his wing.

What I did notice though it that his particular mounts aren't in the standard location.

They are much closer together.

I might just go and pull my wing off now and have a look at some stuff.

I'll be back.

Ah, just had a look and it's not as easy to remove as I thought.

I will have to remove all the trim underneath the boot and pull the top off the wing and all that crap.

It's a hour's job to get it off and on again....

i've got a honeycomb aluminium T wing (not the moulded carbon style). Sits about 15-20 cm above the boot and has an adjustable aluminium mount n all. Looks similar to the Jun one, just lower. If you wanna check it out I'll bring it to the next meet.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
