im buying a big carbon fiber GT wing for my S14.
i was thinking APR GTC-300, but does anyone have any other ideas that might cost a few hundred dollars less? yashio factory, uras, ings+1, i dunno something like that. so help me out! and where can i get it from? :ugh:
thanks,
Greg :bigok:
BTW, feel free to leave your opinion, even tho i didnt ask for it.
also, i hope someone links me to an ebay auction for a metal $20 wing. it'll be funny, and everyone will love you.

only thing cheaper really is origin wing but it looks worse
all the japanese ones cost a grip, 2k+
uras just sells china wings you can get one off ebay for like 150$ or something, looks like crap

if you are gonna get apr get the 500 300 is too small, looks stupid
i wanted a gt wing for a while but now i just hate them because they are all the wrong size
http://www.ryo.co.jp/demo_car/image/fd3s/fd3s_d.jpg
this is like the only wing i have found that is big enough to not look stupid and i cant even find the site that sells it. it has glavis R stickers all over it.
china needs to hurry the fuck up and make gt500 wings

so APR it is.
are those steal-proof? like can anyone just come up and unbolt it?
what can i do to make it safer (this is my daily driver)

You can always get an Origin or any other 3d wing, and make your own endplates and wingstays. Make some nice thick wing stays that DONT point forward super corny and space them really wide apart, then finish it off with some thick rounder endplates and it would really make those stupid China ebay wings look MUCH better. If i had my choice, Sard and Voltex knockoffs would be availible by now.

Dunno about quality or fitment, 59"width and fully adjustable mounts.
Gotta love the Apexi exhaust box its sitting on, a little deceptive branding for this wing.

wing for looks; or down-force?
NI_YON_Zenki
07-05-2007, 04:40 PM
I would hope down force, I don't want to know any wing around being produced (esp. GT) simply for looks. .. .
Voltex is a serious, SERIOUS company to aquire. .. .WORTH IT!

i think he has a gt-500 wing
any wing makes downforce
piece of plywood at a 45 degree angle makes downforce

also the endplates and perches suck.

i think the 300 it is. i'll post pics once i get it

Yeah, that wing IS too small IMO...it's stock body and it doesn't even clear the edges of his fenders... :bigok:
he's not even using the stays that come with it, which are only 13" max...last I checked, you need about 15" stays to get to the roof line on an S14
You know what, show me that and I'll eat my words. Until then, I honestly think your car is NOT going to look good, because I think you're all talk.

i want to see redsquare's straight on shot, then i'll decide. but i see your point.
as for me being all talk. i get new parts everyday. im 18 and i work full time as an ASE cert VW/audi tech, and i live at home. needless to say, i have alot of disposable income. which i have no problem blowing away on my car

get gt500 so you can chop off peoples heads walking on the sidewalk. plus can claim you have the most down force on your block..... 400+ lbs @ 100mph bitch! also, so we can see how crazy it will look.

GT wing on the street doesn't make much sense past asthetics...I mean, I guess if you like to drive really fast on the highway. I've gone 140+ in my S14 on stock bodywork and I didn't think it was too loose or anything.

thanks you guys for helping me pick out a wing.

i just got off the phone with sasha anis.
i ended up buying his GTC300 (67") off his navy S14 GT car
im going to put GTC500 wing stand on it so it'll be 15"
its gunna be sick
should be here pretty soon.
im stoked!

I like how the pic of that black S14 "on the track" is in a huge ass parking lot, so far off line you can't even see the stupid cones he's trying to dodge.
Red Square should just save himself some money and built that car in 1:24 scale. All it does is sit around in the driveway (probably a garage).

i think baller (lipped) wheels and a big wing like that look wierd. harifoochis car was good obviously, but its two different styles i think, more vip angle with super racer guy style. if you want a big wing i think you need lots of stickers and cast wheels. get emos and powder coat them neon orange or something. most cars look weird with lipped wheels and big gt wings

You have to watch your width because wings create significant parasitic drag as the surface area increases. In racing anyway. 61" is a wide wing.

I took apart some horrid APC aluminum piece I got for free and re-assembled to where I thought it would be able to scavenge some clean air skimming off the back stream over the rear hatch. to my surprise it worked great, I don’t feel any lift in the front coming out exit over 100 but if I come out exit at say 110-120 I can floor the car with confident, I definitely picked up some traction in the rear -which I needed a lot.
Anything TALLER than your roof line is going to produce unnecessary drag.
If you’re a drifter, I don't really see the point of any wing ever. Unless your entering sweepers over 100.

Any winged car that lives near me usually gets it blown off after I come around them at 160MPH!!!!!!!! Plus its bad for attracting COPS....... Unless its fiberglass and is the same color of the car thats less than 3 inches off the trunk...... Your just out for looks, and B.S.

Anything TALLER than your roof line is going to produce unnecessary drag.
Above the roofline is actually where airflow starts to get cleaner. It'd be easier to create more efficient downforce once you get back into laminar flow, away from the turbulent area behind the rear window.
If you’re a drifter, I don't really see the point of any wing ever. Unless your entering sweepers over 100.
I would've thought drifters would want huge front splitters.... more turn-in while going straight, then once you're into a slide you'd have natural understeer to keep a 4-wheel slide going.

^^This is true. It also means S13 Fastbacks can get away with shorter wings due to the slope of the rear glass not affecting airflow as much as a coupe's or S14's steeper back glass.
Just a little extra info.
I think the height that looks the best is even with the roof.

Ideal is at the roof line if you have other aero on the underbody. If you go too much over it your just creating lots of drag and slowing the car down in the straights.

so the uras ones are fiberglass with cf over it?
they made all the nascar cars the same now so its about the teams and drivers more than one manufacturer having more experience/funds than another. I know they were also looking at ohc and efi setups that they can move to with a e85 fuel. The changes were to move the cars along and stop the bending of the rules. Also - it invites more manufacturers to the races, since they dont have to develop a chassis... just a powertrain setup.
either way they need to raise those wings up anyway :P

NASCAR would be awesome if they brought it back to real "stock car" racing. Buy a sedan from a dealer, throw a cage in it... try not to die in a fire.
Ideal is at the roof line if you have other aero on the underbody. If you go too much over it your just creating lots of drag and slowing the car down in the straights
Are you considering "ideal" in terms of airfoil efficiency or in terms of drag alone? If the product of downforce is drag, drag can then be considered a measure of downforce (remember the law of conservation of energy). Saying the same wing will produce more drag above the roofline would then be to admit it produces more downforce. If you consider efficiency in terms of downforce produced per wing area, it would be more efficient to place your wing higher. The solution to get less drag: use a smaller wing. I suppose placing it in turbulent airflow might work as well.... so in that aspect, "ideal" would be subjective to your preference of changing your wing or adjusting downforce/drag.

The only reason they pull ANY G's is because they go around banked turns. Other than that there is minimal acceleration. Constant speed(more or less) = 0 acceleration = 0 G's, unless you turn the car.
Pulling G's on a flat turn, like F1 cars, is the real deal, none of that 20 degree crap.

They don't go 180 mph for 2+ hours, I was forced to go to a Nascar race once, they stop for every stupid little thing, then just circle around going like 20 mph for the next 15 minutes, resume racing for like 3 minutes and then some driver starts chocking on a piece of chicken (you've seen the commercials, Nascar drivers obviously can't race without eating while driving) or a piece of grass lands on the track, so they have to slow down again, and this goes on and on and on and on and on and then I fell asleep. That's why I like F1, there can be a guy laying in the middle of the track and they'll keep going (okay maybe not literally but you get the point).

most of that stuff is done. Cept the wieght reduction. That stuff is too easy cause supra equipment all swaps over. I am pretty much onto the looks part now...well that and deciding which way to go for more power.

I sold a car for Ikeya's. I seriously hated doing it cause really there isn't much need for them. I was quotes $5000+ to import a BN blister kit the vertex ridge kit is only $3000. I'm just annoyed cause I have spent so much money and well suspension wise i have a lot of adjustability I never really use. I porbly could have been fine with the supra damper set up I bought and making a camber kit. Which since i haven't put much on besides the dampers i might sell the ikya's and just make my own stuff.
