Best Fucntional Spoiler?

I've got the OEM nismo wing on my '12 and had a nismo S-tune on my '09 and there's a noticable difference in "grippy-ness" at high speeds.

As stated earlier in the thread, the APR wings are the common functional choice we've seen here on tracked 370Z's. With the right adjustments they can add a ton of downforce to the car. But: If this is the first time you've taken a car to a road course (as opposed to new car, old driver), you might want to skip that until you get further along with the track learning process. Serious wings (and slicks) are just going to hinder the learning process, and might even get you in trouble out there. The Nismo wing is fine obviously, it's not very hardcore.

Maybe one of the 350Z Voltex wings will work for the 370, like maybe the type 3.

Looks too erector set-esque for me but maybe it's a function over form thing.

Default To Spoil or Not To Spoil

There are dozens of things you should do to improve autocross/track grip that are more effective than getting a spoiler/wing. If you really just want one because you want one the Evo-R High Wing is probably the most streetable almost-a-GT-Wing option and is way less than the Nismo wing it's designed after. I wanted the Carbon Signal Type-N add-on because I wanted a very low key, effective spoiler instead of a wing but it was too hard to get ahold of them, so I went with Aerojacket's Type III and I'm happy with the added downforce on very high speed corners and stability under extreme (140-70) high speed braking. So-have you done anything at all to your car yet?

It seems evo-r which is the one replica of Nismo is the good choice here. For both street and track use. In fact, I was looking for one, and luckily I got this thread (thanks to search feature). Because, I am looking for downforce on the rear, because when breaking from high speed before entering turns, I feel the car moving like a fish on the back. And I wanted to have spoiler/wing to hold the rear side of the car and add downforce.

Maybe those who have evo-r can share some feedback, I will be grateful if they do, because the nismo one is expensive, and evo-r might be the good option to go.

Don't support EVO-R. He's a crook. You'll be lucky to even get your order; don't expect any customer service if something isn't right either.

I see …

Ok, What are your recommendations, for track and weekend use? I want to enhance the downforce in rear side …

Even if you buy it from another website? Or do you mean their website?
Any other spoiler/wing to recommend please?

i would just buy a ings+ wing. You don't need a wind tunnel to know that you have downforce right. When you're racing you could feel it. They test their stuff in actual race series so I'm sure it does something.

https://nextlevelperf.com/?s=ings%2B...ct&dgwt_wcas=1

as for spoilers i dunno, probably stick with a wing for race focused build imo

https://nextlevelperf.com/product/in...ssan-370z-z34/

"The INGS Japan Ver.NISMO wing is track tested and proven in the Super Taikyu racing series in Japan. With multiple wins the ASSET INGS team have developed a functional aero-kit born of competition. Featuring Hybrid Aero to provide a strong and rigid yet impact resistant material.
The Ver.NISMO wing comes standard with 1515mm width single or dual foil option. In addition to the great contribution to the driving performance, the wing prides itself on the bracket made of dry carbon material and on the metal supports made of machined aluminum with excellent texture. The brilliant craftsmanship of INGS is represented by this product."

fwiw.

This is your best bet. But even so you better make damn sure they have it in stock and available to ship right away. Or at least be damn sure the shop will refund your money after they waste a lot of your time and never get the part.
