Esprit Wing and Varis Airduct on White Nismo
 
Hey folks, if you are curious on how the Esprit Wing looks on Nismo (very few pictures are around) here it is. of course the Varis Air duct which looks nicer in person cause of the carbon weaves.

Took a long time to get this car done as I had trouble trying to use a cobb on an 09 Nismo. anyone who has an 09 nismo should really know what they are getting into. also, (temporarily) bricking the ecu is a huge possibility. a warning.

not only does the wing look great IMO, I now have 100% visibility at the back (save for the paper thin pillars of course).

hm.......I love the esprit wing, but something looks...different about the wing in your pics... Not sure what it is but it doesn't quite look as good as I thought......

Edit: Oh it looks like you put the stands closer together in the center is that correct? Instead of further apart closer to the sides of the hatch?

toxik 02-05-2011 01:00 PM

love the yellow calipers !

Red__Zed 02-05-2011 01:02 PM

Intense.

Baddriver 02-05-2011 01:03 PM

The mounts on the wing are fixed. Its the exact distance on the sides of the 3rd brake light.


Oh, a warning. This install involves repaint and plugging existing holes on the aluminum hatch (not as simple as on steel).

Baddriver 02-05-2011 01:05 PM

Oh, before anyone calls me ricey, the hks sticker is sponsored by the local HKS oil distributor. I'm not sure if it's a mitigating factor.

Adds 5whp. Lolz.

definitionxmk 02-05-2011 01:37 PM

Definitely track status... did you paint your wing gloss black?

Thanks!

It's wet carbon:) base is dry carbon.

definitionxmk 02-05-2011 02:21 PM

ahhh, sweet! It just looked painted from the photos...

Nice Z!

SPOHN 02-05-2011 03:39 PM

Looks great. I like it. Get the lights done next. Then it will be real clean. I don't know what it is about the chrome in our lights that take away from are cars.

Waiz 02-05-2011 04:34 PM

I'm not a fan of the intake vents on any car but that wing :yum:

Oops my apologies! Got it confused with the Ings+1 wing...

Baddriver 02-05-2011 07:47 PM

Thanks guys, I think the wing really balances the car out, specifically the very nose heavy, droopy nismo front end. Easier on the eyes now for me.

Took much adjustment in Photoshop. Hehe

Cool! Will look into this, tho I hope I can do the rear lights as well. I'll look for more info on this. I hope there are good aftermarket ones out.

It's a necessity on my part. Very dismal gains despite full exhaust/cat delete +intakes. I also live in a tropical country. Gets real hot and humid in the summer.

No problem:)

GZ3 02-05-2011 08:01 PM

very nice wing, a little high for my taste but still done nicely

HATED1 02-05-2011 10:02 PM

wing is dope! got any straight on butt hole shots.

ThoriumHotdog 02-05-2011 10:17 PM

Mikey likes it, and so do I.

Baddriver 02-05-2011 11:12 PM

Thanks guys, will post more pics with straight side view and back view soon:)

Jamaica 02-06-2011 03:27 AM

hello look at that wing!

Baddriver 02-07-2011 05:28 AM

updated photos on the first post for better rear view.

Jjaden 02-07-2011 07:21 AM

If I saw a car with that wing drive by I would point and laugh. It's so big it looks ridiculous and I feel it makes the car look pure rice.
To each their own I guess, as long as you like it.

Jose Aliling 02-07-2011 07:50 AM

saw this car at autotechnika a few months back glad to see its running now.love the air ducts which i am getting sooooon!!!!thumbs up to you pare!!looks like you took this at podium!

Baddriver 02-07-2011 07:58 AM

^^^ thanks, man! my ecu was bricked temporarily:)

I took the shots in our condo's parking garage.

Sibze 02-07-2011 08:00 AM

Does it fly? :rofl2: Just kidding bro, looks good :tup:

haha... it may even drag down the car a bit in straights.

This is the closest thing for me to owning a Porsche GT3 rs. hehe... since I can't afford it specially where I'm from where it's always nearly double the US msrp.

RCZ 02-07-2011 08:44 AM

That wing looks nothing like a gt3 rs wing. Looks kinda silly actually, but props for something new.

Baddriver 02-07-2011 10:26 AM

^^^ yeah, you are right. I was just talking about the size. Voltex wings would be a closer match to gt3 wings but I just like the esprit better. less common I guess.

diff'rent strokes:)

I am planning to also get the Fcon how much numbers did you get using that box?

Baddriver 02-08-2011 01:28 AM

hey Jose,

It's a 15 whp and 13 torque. what I love about it is the partial throttle response which makes the car more exciting to drive in the street. we street tuned after the dyno tune.

my problem now is excessive wheelspin during take off/ earlier gears. A sport z could beat me on take offs but I always get the lead on the higher speeds/4rth gear. I'm interested to
see how my car does now with the air ducts on the front. then again, I have a huge wing that could slow it down a bit on straights.

I may need stickier tires to have better take off:)

rozenre 02-08-2011 10:49 PM

U mean this?

can I ask the specs of your car and the dyno numbers?thanks. I just would like to know how many hp a nismo has with the basic bolt-ons plus the Fcon vpro.just installed my hks intake today.It will make me decide whether to get the Fcon or not.

haha.. yeah, learned a trick in photoshop. blur the BG and foreground a lot and just leave a small area focused.

it's a fake photography technique (shift-tilt) to simulate miniatures.

Ok, I'll get back to you. I'll do another dyno baseline tomorrow on another dyno. I'm still paranoid about my ecu reprogramming.

I only have the Fcon IS tho. btw, chances are, you will have a lower dyno score with your intakes cause it will draw more heat from the engine. at least, that's what happened to me. the best way to appreciate it is through the streets/real world since more air will be rammed from the outside:)

I've had a custom airbox installed so I think it'll help. :)

DevilZ34 02-09-2011 02:56 PM

That looks pretty sick.

98intrigue 02-09-2011 03:02 PM

I actually like it!

AJ PwR 02-10-2011 02:14 PM

Nice setup Nice GTR wheels !!! I don't feel for the wing tho, it looks like tail of the whale sitting on the back of the hatch. IMO, I like the Voltex better.

TheGreatOne 02-10-2011 10:44 PM

I like the colour scheme and surprisingly I like the wing on your car, looks mean.

Baddriver 02-11-2011 01:21 PM

Thanks, guys! really loving the wing. It's wild indeed.

Oh, no! it's just painted stock Nismo wheels:) It always fools everyone. they often think it's aftermarket.

chops 02-19-2011 06:10 PM

love the yellow calipers! thinking of doing mine soon

red6spd 02-19-2011 06:17 PM

That looks sick. Where can I get a set of those Intake vents, I love them.
