Melbourne Autosalon - 28/29 August 2010

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

My old car at AutoSalon:

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.

people actually like FTO's?? man never thought i would know anyone who likes them..well you learn something new everyday ey...

[gwin]

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

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

hahahaha...true true

[jezza boii]

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

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.

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.

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

Something to think about.......

Woo came 13th out of 44 on the dyno.

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...

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...

[newboost]

hey guys, here are a few pics of our cars.

Nice pics mate...really like the last one with the two girls holding a stuff toy...HAHAHA!!!

What'd you pull on this one?

[VSPECT]

What'd you pull on this one?

he pulled around the 270rwkw mark from memory...

[FLYSKY33-Brinne]

auto salon was shit, waste of time and money..

waiting for the owner to put a bit more money and hire out exebition centre again as its a better venue//..

[S4LVA]

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.

[Juan_2_3]

i would of spend the money on better brakes than that spoiler
