There has been a lot of discussions on this topic posted by LSX-438 with lot of people having doubts about this wing.

My car is running Willall's tune and a mid pipe. Until today I've run this car twice at Wakefield Park with times 1:03.79 in December and 1:03.81 in April, I've installed the Aeromotion wing (form The Tuners Group) last Friday and today I've run 1:02.83.

This is almost full second improvement and the only difference was the wing.

By the way Duncan run 1:02.44 which is incredibly fast for a road car. Well done.

So my recommendation for people which take they cars to the track, and want to go fast is get the tune and get the wing. This is the best bang for your dollars you can get.

Great work GGTTRR !

Almost a full second improvement is a great result, especially at a track like Wakefield with a lap time of just over 1 minute.

GGTTRR is running the static version of the Aeromotions R2 wing, the R2 Static. So that makes the laptime improvement of almost a second even more impressive.

The Aeromotions R2 Static Wing uses the same aerofoil as the R2 Dynamic Wing, but does not have the added benefit of dynamic wing angle control (though the R2 Static Wing can be upgraded to dynamic operation later with the dynamic upgrade kit).

By the way Duncan run 1:02.44 which is incredibly fast for a road car. Well done.

Well done to Duncan also ! Duncan also has an Aeromotions wing - the R2 Dynamic Wing.

Well said GGTTRR :)

We spend an enormous amount of time keeping right up to date with cutting edge high quality racing technology and being ahead of the curve. We always knew that once Australian cars started running Aeromotions wings that just like the overseas results the Australian lap times would show that the Aeromotions wings work very well indeed. So we're very pleased to see another Australian car posting such a great lap time improvement with one of our Aeromotions wings on it. And it's yet more confirmation that we got it right when we first discovered the Aeromotions wings many months ago and made the decision to bring the Aeromotions range to Australia.

As we've said many times in other threads about the Aeromotions wings ...

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

The stopwatch doesn't lie.

After you ran your 1:02.83 did you think to take the wing off and really see what the back to back benefit was?

Hi Stephen,

Aeromotions has already done extensive back to back testing and published data from the back to back testing at Thunderhill Raceway complete with Traqmate Data Acquisition data, a summary of the data and info about the car, driver and testing methodology, and a detailed turn by turn data analysis, which includes plots turn by turn of the lateral G-force, acceleration and braking G-force, velocity, and time difference.

As mentioned in the other thread with Duncan's results ...

If you want to see back to back testing data, as previously mentioned in this thread:

The Aeromotions Dynamic Wings are a proven quantity and there is already a lot of hard data to show how well they work ... and Aeromotions have already published detailed testing data.

As we wrote in a post earlier in this thread ...

"A number of teams running the Aeromotions Dynamic Wings have already publicly released info on their lap time improvements with the Aeromotions Dynamic Wing. Physics works exactly the same way in Australia as it does in the US, so the US results are just as relevant to Australia."

Aeromotions also did a back to back test at Thunderhill Raceway (screenshot from the test above). As it says on our website, lap times at the back to back test were ...

Without Aeromotions Wing: 2 minutes 10.1 seconds

With Aeromotions Static Wing: 2 minutes 9.2 seconds

With Aeromotions Dynamic Wing: 2 Minutes 8.4 seconds

With Aeromotions Dynamic Wing With Centre Fence: 2 minutes 7.7 seconds.

So at the Thunderhill test, adding an Aeromotions Static Wing shaved 0.9 second off the lap time without an Aeromotions Wing.

Lap times with the Aeromotions Dynamic Wing With Centre Fence were 1.5 seconds a lap faster than with the Aeromotions Static Wing, and 2.4 seconds faster than without an Aeromotions wing.

There is data from the back to back testing at Thunderhill Raceway complete with Traqmate Data Acquisition data, a summary of the data and info about the car, driver and testing methodology, and a detailed turn by turn data analysis, which includes plots turn by turn of the lateral G-force, acceleration and braking G-force, velocity, and time difference ...

The data from the Thunderhill test and the feedback from teams using the Aeromotions Dynamic Wings is here ...

Well done to Duncan also ! Duncan also has an Aeromotions wing - the R2 Dynamic Wing.

Duncan, is that a new class record at Wakefield ?

Not sure, it may be. We'll find out tomorrow perhaps.

Adam we have received notice on the records set yesterday, so yes you can chalk up another aeromotions success..

Duncan Forrest is continuing on in his winning way setting an Outright,

Type 4 and Class 4D record in his GTR R35 with a time of 62.440. It is

unfortunate that the record books will only mention Duncan as breaking the

Outright Record but it should not go without saying that Marek Tomaszewzki

also broke the previous Outright Record record with a sub 63 time of 62.835.

The old record was 63.080. It's too bad that Duncan was around on the day.

Congratulations Duncan and commiserations Marek

Too bad i was around on the day apparently! Seriously though i actually feel like an arse, Marek broke the record books too. In fact on the day Marek was in front for a while so he was the outright, type and class record holder for about an hour or two.

I can't believe the hunt is on for 1:01's now

Marek has already run two times prior (similar days and very similar times) there is simply no need for more testing, we know the wing works the results speak for themselves. i dont think marek is going back to the stocker wing somehow.

    • How fast are you doing the downshift? 4th gear was revised multiple times until 1998 to fix this issue. Synchro clips can fall out, synchros can wear. Most likely you're looking at a new transmission unfortunately. If you need to limp it until then double clutch downshifts into 4th.
    • Sorry I was being harsh there, but am I wrong? You can buy a M340i easily, and there's loads available second hand. A lot more workshops modifying them as well. How about getting parts for them? Don't get me wrong, I'd love a 400R, even a 4cyl (I looked at a few V36s before buying my shitbox BMW). Sadly Infiniti died in Aus and we're stuck with importing them as niche vehicles. Supply and demand
    • Probably straight swap for an R32 GT-R? lol
    • Yes I think we changed out the transmission fluid as I had a leak last year so we changed out the seals also. Need to check.    I should have said just change from 5th to 4th gear … down shift. There’s a grind.    I have a new clutch X clutch … but as I said all the changes in other gears are fine. 
    • Change the transmission fluid. I would try Motorcraft XT-M5-QS if you have it in your area for a reasonable price. Also, double check your clutch is fully disengaging. If you are not pushing the clutch pedal to the floor fully for every shift now is the time to start. Make sure the clutch is fully bled. The damper line requires two distinct bleed points to be purged of air or it will not disengage the clutch properly. If either hydraulic cylinders input or output are losing hydraulic pressure in their seals/leaking you can have problems like this. If you've ruled out everything else then the most likely explanation is the synchros are worn and you need to double clutch the shift or rebuild/replace the transmission. The transfer case is discontinued FYI so you may want to rebuild it while you're in there too. If the chain stretches past spec it can do a ton of damage.
