Rear Wing - Installs and Experiences

osbornsm

Hello all,

This is NOT a thread to debate whether wings are "cool" or "rice". Kindly take that chat elsewhere.
This is for those who HAVE (or are going to) install a wing on their 370z. Leave any thoughts or comments about your experience and price tag too (if you dare)

yes i realize that i have not posted every type of wing available for the 370z. There are some pretty damn ugly ones, and I chose "this" style for my shopping experience

I had the GTC-300. It broke and folded on itself at Daytona on the high banking at 150mph. It also cracked the deck lid at the rear of the mounting points. Replaced it with the Aeromotions static and had the decklid reinforced with some plate aluminum to spread the load of wing on the mounts out to a larger area.

^^ track tested.

When I bought my base, I ordered the oem replica on the cheap from ebay for $130 painted and shipped.

But down the road I might have to go with

I might go with aeromotions wing or custom Kognition mounted wing.
The aeromotions wing is not wide enough, I want one exact width of the car (minus the mirrors)

Rear wing install on a Sport Package was a nightmare.

The OEM wing has 11 mounting points. 4 Bolts, 7 pop rivets. All of which have to be plugged, smoothed, primed, sanded, and painted all before drilling new holes for a wing.
Cost: $1500~

If you can swap a hatch with a Non-Sport, I'd recommend it. The only hardship you will potentially incur is having a rear hatch with a VIN that does not match your cars. This could become an insurance concern in the event of an accident.

I have the APR GTC 200 with the AOA set to the highest. Been up to 145mph several dozen times. Works great. Great mild wing with better price.

they make the aeromotions wider. I had mine cut down to scca spec, although I will probably never need it as I don't compete, but if I ever do go that route, I didn't want to have to deal with it later.

I think the failure of my wing was due in large part to the load factor of the banking at Daytona. At 45 degrees bank, you are pulling 1.4gs, in addition to the higher speeds pushing on the wing.

also, my AOA on the APR wing was as low as it would go.

GTC 300 - too boxy
Aerojacket - too round
Aerojacket 1GT - too pointy
Ings Z power - nice and minimal = *
Esprit - Curvalicious
Seibon - same wing as above

Now that is a good looking wing! Just the right everything. Not an aerospace engineer here but looks to me like not too much drag yet great presence. It only takes a small lip to give down force.

well I got a hell of a deal on my friend's R.Dynamic Aeromotions cut at 65" wish it was wider but couldn't pass this deal!
some pics will pick it up on monday and see how I can mount it.
Some info on the wing: R.Dynamic // GT-R - aeromotions

Nice,
I recommend you use some kind of plates like he did. Our aluminum hatch is very flimsy. You may also have to order the mounting base from AM, since he isn't using one on his plates, but that is up to you.
This is how mine was done:
