So all of you that have installed the Highwing. Have you noticed you cannot open the hatch now without having to hold the button in and lifting up? Are there stiffer springs we can get from like the Nismo to help fix this issue? Might also try the penny trick and see if this works... I already have the hatch springs replaced from the dealer as it was sticking sometimes...

yeah, it doesn't really bother me because I never really open my trunk since you can't fit anything in there anyway, but I could see how people might find that a problem.
|
I got a solution for you guys. I'll post pics later. It is very easy.

Pop open your trunk. On the left side and right side there is a rubber stopper on each side. Inside there are springs. These springs gets weak after awhile. Specially something heavy it pushing them. Solution is put some pennies inside or metal ring inside. Made the spring have more pressure. So when pop open the trunk the spring will have more force to pop open.

Doesn't bother me either, i put a bigger wing on that leans further back putting more offset weight, I expected it but I may try the penny thing anyway and see if it works.
I also should mention my body shop did a fantastic job, it took 2 weeks for the to tell me it was ready for install but I also told them no rush so it could have been done earlier if I had asked. Charged me book time for a nismo wing cuz of how similar they are and everything is flush and perfect. |
Just an update: Just installed two washers one each side in mine and it opens right up like it did before. I do have the revised springs that the dealer replaced though...

Bowing
Hey - several posts back some of you said were having problem with this wing "bowing" up. I live in TX and already approaching 100 degree days - so, want to know if these issues have been resolved either by EVO or some fix at installation? Also, since it's plastic, can anyone tell me if it is HARD like CF, or soft and pliable like the DFR versions I keep seeing on Ebay? I'm concerned re lasting quality of paint if soft. Last - does it make more sense to get CF wing or spoiler and primer/paint it vs dealing with EVO-R plastic? Thanks!
|
I haven't had any bowing issues. Though I live in Seattle. The Antarctic of the USA.
|
tape doesnt work,, mine popped out,, but it doesnt look that bad from distance
i think im gonna try take it apart put gorilla glue or tape on it ,, i heard that stuff is strong ,, |
From now on. All wing shipped with be ship with A very strong adhesive to hold the center part.

Pics of my Nismo Z with Carbon version. NOTE: Original Nismo base will not fit with this top.

Looks really good man!
|
Thanks!
|
Is the CF version same dimensions as original High Wing? Same mounting instructions utililizing existing spoiler holes? Still have to paint non-CF portion? If buy original non-CF version from existing Z Store inventory, can I get the stronger adhesive you mention sent to me or are you providing to them?

Jay,
Whenever you get pricing and production together for the CF version for sport models, I'd also like to know. P.S. sent you email/message on thread regarding rear diffuser and door handles. LMK Chris. |
If i buy this from the Z store does it come with the super strong adhesive for the center piece?
|
Yes, we now all include it
|
I love how that wing looks
|
Is carbon fiber version ready w/ pricing?
|
I saw it on the Z store. But I'm waiting for someone with one installed for feedback.

what rear lip is that? looks amazing..I plan on gettin the same wing but carbon :ughdance: |
When you installed the wing did you use the same bolts from the sport wing.
I need to buy the tape. where can i buy it ? i bought the wing from a member here and did not get the mounting hardware. thanks Z |
Yes uses stock Sport holes. 3M tape works from any car parts store.
|
Between this and the Amuse wing, which do you think generates more downforce?
|
its good that it use's the stock holes for mounting but what about the mounting bolts. do you use the stock bolts ?
