MCR Front Bumper Canards
 
To my knowledge, these are the first canards to be offered to the masses for the Z34 370Z.

A very clean canard design IMO that, if anything, adds to the aggressive, menacing look of the Z34.

Hunter, can you give me a price for this. Thanks.

honestly, are they for pure looks? They dont provide any downforce to the front end do they?

Sorry! My money might be better spent some were else.

That is a good question. MCR prides themselves in producing some amazing performance focused Nissans that are able to maintain daily driving comfort. These canards will generate downforce; how much downforce I cannot say because I honestly do not know.

Those that acquire these canards, will enjoy them and they will notice a difference :tup:

if they are simply riveted to the front bumper, id assume hardly any real downforce would be given as too much would just yank 'em off. if they were attached to the bumper beam inside i guess they may be a bit more functional, but ive always thought for for road cars they were mostly aesthetic. race cars do everything they can to get everything they can get.

none the less, they look freakin cool. :)

Thanks for the feedback :tup:

I am definitely with you on this one. For sure these canards cannot withstand the 100's of pounds of downforce like the GT500 cars can.

I am a bit of a track junkie personally and when it comes to tracking daily drivers, I look at downforce the same way I do weight savings...every little bit helps :driving:

This is all speculating of course but lets say I have a 370Z that I want to track. I get a front diffuser that generates 60 pounds of downforce @ 90 mph, front canards that generate 30 pounds of downforce @ 90 mph, rear diffuser that generates another 60 pounds of downforce @ 90 mph, and a rear wing that generates 100 pounds of downforce @ 90 mph. By itself, these products don't benefit your car that much; add it all up and you have an additional 250 pounds of downforce @ 90 mph. I bet that would make a huge difference on the track (depending on what kind of track you are at :driving:).

The crazy thing is, I still have the options to go with vortex generators, side diffusers, front spoiler, and/or another set of front canards, or rear canards...so as far as my car goes I can really improve the car's performance simply by adding small amounts of downforce here and there. After that, I still have weight savings, performance mods, suspension/chassis; by the time I finish, this 370Z could be a force to reckon with on the track.

Again, this is my personal perspective on downforce so feel free to take it with a grain of salt :tiphat:
