My sister has an '89 s13 SE fastback, but it's stock foam wing was mangled and ripped off by the prior owner. I honestly didn't care for it's look anyhow, so I'm looking for a replacement. Don't want anything big n ugly, just something there. Any thoughts on the s14 wing on an s13 fastback (nice n cheap)? Could any of you s14 owners measure out the bolt configuration for meh? I'll keep trying to picture it in my mind, figger if the lines would look right. . .
Dankes

I, too am in search for a nice spoiler. Nothing flashy, but something that looks like it might have come on it stock.

hehehe, I don't need downforce. I'd be better off putting some weight in my trunk <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> The poor car just doesn't look too great with that rusty stub on the rear deck.

Do you want a supra style spoiler, or something like the same style as the old one, but maybe a little bigger and nicer???

Here are some spoilers I think would look cool on the S13.

I like the one all the way on top. I have the stock coupe one, and I love it. But, as I said, I've got the trunk. I don't think I'd change it at all. I get to look at it (and my exhaust) all day long, cause my car is parked five feet away from my window at work. Ahh... I wish I had an SR20DET.

The first one looks decent...maybe the second...but I don't like the rest.

I still like the pdm racing one...

Those are cheap, at PDM. Their whole body line is cheap as ####! I'd say get it if you're done with performance.

The side skirts on pdm are like the same as nissan side skirts.

Almost... I'm not sure I support you there, Konkie.

You know as much as I'm against ricing a beautiful car, but I do have the craving every once in a while to put on a big spoiler and some stickers.

The pdm spoiler looks pretty good...the kit is nice, too, but I've seen better.

Hmm... I know what you mean. It's an urge, it's the devil's trick!!!! You've got to resist it!!! My name is Irena, and I'm Yugoslavian. hahaha

I do like the look of PDM Racing's spoiler, nice and subtle and not foam. I don't know how I'd feel about trying to fill in the stock holes, though. . . Those sideskirts may be something to consider, I've got a nasty dent below my driver side door. . . Oh well, intake comes first <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Yess, misnomer, performance before looks!!!
Of those spoilers/wings pictured I like the third one one the black fast back. It has a little size to it and it has a cool style. Kinda bold but not to overdone. That is something that I like. My car will be a balance between performance(some form of turbo after i graduate from school) look and of course ICE(In car electronics) oh god how do i love reading the british max power...

Does nebody know if S13 spoilers and S14 ones r interchangable? Are the measurements the same? I want to get rid of the supra style spoiler that came with the car when I bought it, but I haven't seen that many choices for spoilers for the S14, so I just want to know if the aftermarket S13 spoilers might be an option too.
Man has anyone here acctually thought about transplanting a porsche gt3 auto adjustable wing? Man when i was in europ this summer i saw a lot of them and let me tell u. NICE. They look all kinda lik the stupid ricer honda wings but except for dynamicly loking ang they do look nice and they acctaully adjust due to speed, windspeed, and climate. I wanna c if that possible to put it on a nissan

I think the stock wing for the latest model 180SX from japan (1997?? 98 mebbe?? i dunno) is nice.
very subtle and makes the car loook nice nice.
now to find a pic to show u pplz....

The Porsche wings are standard on some of their cars here too, I think. I've seen a few of them. They rise as soon as the car hits 40mph. It's f'n kewl ! Oh, yeah, i don't think anyone makes them for 240s.

AHHH that fifth wing, in that series of pics, looks like that new picnic bench they sell at Walmart... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>
well honestly, I myself like those semi high tourning wings(the real ones)
thats why im going to turn my s13 into a touring car adn slap that baby on there, and as far as the RICE TOPIC yes i can back up that image and bodykit up with that new motor im gonna get.... muhahahaha
Anyone know if a trubo and supercharger at once has ever been done (succesfully) on any car?
ca18guy
10-06-2001, 04:43 PM
Actually yes a super/turbo charger setup has been done. It involved using a valve to switch between the super on the low end and the turbo on the high end. Not practical or really the best way to make HO.

was it street legal?

I read about it like 3 years ago, so it's not really fresh in my memory. I see no reason why it would'nt be street legal.
