GT Wing

[Snowman]

Anyone know where in Vic you can buy GT Wings.

I don't want one from a mate oversea's - or from a mate interstate.

I want to LOOK at one first - mostly cause its the uprights I'm interested in.

[Laurence]

As an option you may want to consider the Mine's extended uprights for the stock wing.

Available in either 30mm or 50mm extensions... a snip at ¥205,800

Hey Andrew,

I know Bass Junky was having a real close look at one on the warburton cruise. Took detailed shots of the uprights so have a look at his pics.....

[Snowman]

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.

[Laurence]

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.

[Ant97GTR]

I'm sure Bass would be able to knock something together.....for a six pack

[Snowman]

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.

[Bass Junky]

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.

[Snowman]

Sounds good Pete - I sent you a PM anyways. But I guessed that "before Sunday" would be dreaming.

Check the pics out here.

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.

[Bass Junky]

That's the style I will be making.

Big solid base, with a bolt through connection at the bottom.

Very strong.

dam what a price for "mines" branded items...dam checked the JUN website but still shocked at the price they want (92,400 Yen)

Also looking around the forums this r34 gtt is for sale more to the point of the gt wing that it had on it........

Check the thread for better bigger pics

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

Pffft thats nothing, for a set of Nismo wing stays for the standard GTT wing is 70,000 yen!!!! Thats a fu(king joke if I ever heard one! Those pissy little bits of metal.....

[Bass Junky]

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.

[Bass Junky]

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....

[Bass Junky]

Bugger.

The bug has bitten.

I'm off home to pull my car apart.

Damn you all.

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.
