Figured we got such a good response on the body kit question I'd thow out the wing question.

I like this wing....http://www.zilvia.net/photo/showphoto.php?photo=54&papass=&sort=1&thecat=501

I cant find the other one but it ooks like the stock wing from the s15 aero...:confused:

the wing on the car looks like one of those generic "invader", "aggressor", "masturbator" type wings. bleh! me no like... me no like.

i think the one that ur refering to being similar to the S15 Aero Wing is the Type X wing for the kouki S13's.

i personally like the Wangan Drift/"whale tail", whatever it's called, spoiler for S13 HB's. hell, i had one on my car, and i'll have another one for whatever i get next. :D i liked it, and that's all that matters to me.

Let me speak for many of the members on this board who are going to say:

"No wing"

I am not a big fan of wings/spoilers but the ones that I like are
S13 F/Bs: Type-X wing, wangan (the lowest ones, I don't like the ones that point up), and no spoiler
S13 Coupe: No spoiler
S14 (95-96): No spoiler, JDM kouki S14 looks good too
S14 (97-98): JDM kouki S14, not much else, but never really looked into it.

The white F/B you posted IIRC is the Norris Designs 240

Here is the only spoier I like on S14s

if i were to ever get a wing for my s14 it would be the silvia spec k wing.

This I like, simple and it help to kinda finish off that slight upward edge of the end of the trunk. I'll be getting on after I install my LSD and finish my suspension. I guess I will be my first body mod.

my fav wing (and prolly the only wing that I would want to grace my hatch) is the type x

hotroad version of the 180sx kouki wing is far better. more suitable.

for those who've seen it know what i mean ;)

Some of these wings are fAAAAR too high for my liking. I like the whale tails like GTR posted.

my preferences:

wingless for zenki s13s (hatches)
'wangan' for chuuki s13s (hatches)
hotroad kouki wing (for kouki 180sx only)
s14 kouki on s13 coupe
uras on s14 kouki
s14 zenki no wing
s15 no wing

edit:
of cousre ALL look great with NO WING as well :)

SilviaDriver
03-24-2003, 10:37 PM
s13 coupe: no wing, s14 K's
s13 fastback: no wing
s14: no wing, bomex wing
s15: spec r wing

EDIT: i meant the bomex wing like the one on the red Zeal s14a above.

something simple like this gets my vote:

pruto
03-24-2003, 11:55 PM
s13: no wing
180: type x
sil80:wangan or wingless
s14 kouki: k's aero
s15: GT wing, yeah, it looks like a shopping cart/shaving razor, but it just looks bad ass on a nice s15, my favorite is the wing on kazama's blue s15
zenki s14: ... no idea
i have yet to find a wing that makes me go "thats it! thats what i want on my car!"
The bomex wing (see red s14 above) comes very very close to what i like, flat, low, extends back towards the bumper. However it tilts too much for my taste. Even the wingless look is kinda off on my s14. The bumper sticks out way too much, and i don't like the weird curve downwards by the trunk.

whatever, its only a wing :)

the hotroad is like the kouki, but sits higher a little, right?

That subtle hatch spoiler on the ONELINE 180sx... (for RPS/RS13.) :droooooool:

I'd got with the Kouki 180sx wing... oh, wait, this is what I have. ;)

03-25-2003, 08:39 AM
yea thts the wing I was refering to that I liked. And for the wing that I first talked about. I dont like THAT one but the one from bomex. Better quality I'm sure.

03-25-2003, 09:31 AM
for Fb's i'd say the wangan wing

but for coupes, i like the stock SE wing or the s14 kouki wing

I like that wing that KiDyNomiTe put up. I really like the 180sx Type X wing, thats the one i will probably put on my hatch.

Hot road kouki wing, i think. IT is a type X but just a little higher. I like these or either whale tails

I like the factory wings (except the JDM zenki S14 one.. I know Im like the only one that dosent like that one but I'll take my USDM S14 wing over it anyday) or no wing at all.

Type X wing on hatches is SOOOOO sexy!! www.importfan.com has a CF replica coming out

I also kinda like Do Lucks universal one style one with the short endplates... :) but stock or no wing for me. although with the R33ish look my car is getting I feel the need for one... I like the R33 style ones {see Nitekeds car} but the ones I've seen look to bulky. they dwarf the rear of the car.

Can you open the trunk? I don't see any seams...

I still think Type-X looks wierd on a stock bodied 240, but looks real nice with a kit

i personally would like a version of the type x wing thats about 2 inches or so lower and smaller as well to keep it in proportion... if anyone sees or knows of anything like this please let me know ;)

i like my wing... its a wangan. it looks pretty good w/ the pdm lip, but since i tore my lip up, it looks kinda awkward. im probably gonna get the veilside lip next.

my fav wing is no wing! HA HA

but if I actually had to HAVE a wing I would also choose the type X wing or maybe a not so big wangan wing.

03-26-2003, 09:55 AM
Anybody have any idea where to find those Sealazone Aero parts??

I can't find ANY info on the web. :(

Dousan_PG
03-26-2003, 09:59 AM
i dont know if sealazone is still inproduction
i know it is rare when it was

jspec sam was probably the only (if one of a very few) to have a real sealazone kit back in the day (quite a fe years back-and i mean bck in the day and now stateside) you can see his full kit on his old fastback on his site

i dont think you can get them...ask sam, he'd know for sure.i might see him tomorrow i can ask as well. i just remmber its expensive and hard to get..


edit: sam's old car: http://www.jspec.com/jspec180sx.html
the body kit was sold separately! took forever to sell. haha..sold full kit for like $1100 i think.

sam paid a arm and leg for his kit back in the day (i know how much)

why so much? PACKAGING. to keep it in one piece coming overseas requires some heavy duty packaging which makes the product coming in larger box. so depending how its shippped, you pay for the size sometimes
