According to the thread I linked, apparently so, although I don't know him personally haha.

thank you for the picture. It means a lot to share. I am definitely going to save up for a Nismo body kit and add that functional wing. At times I do think it's a little too flashy to have the GT wing as oppose to the OEM Nismo Wing, but I do track my car so spending over $2K for a wing, I rather get myself one that serves a better purpose. So far everything I bought as upgrade for my car is functional. Everytime I come close to thinking of getting something like Nismo body kit with GT wing, I can't seem to be able to pull the trigger as it adds very little performance upgrade.

Anyway, I don't want to make this thread about me. It all started because I was curious to see if anyone has seen a Nismo with a GT wing. Now that I've seen it, I really dig it and would like to own it someday.

Thanks for sharing again guys!

he used to have a auto white full amuse Z (among other cars), parted it out. but now he got another manual Z, haha. probably missing all those parts now. he owns a tuning shop in orange county that does good work.

from what i hear from my buddies who track a lot, you probably don't need the GT wing unless you are doing high speeds (130+mph) at some big tracks like autoclub speedway. If you are on smaller more technical tracks, it won't help you as much is what I hear.

wow 130+ sounds impossible for any track I goto. Last track day I was at Thunderhill and I could barely hit over 100mph in the 2 long straights. I'm going to Laguna Seca tomorrow and I don't think I'll hit over 100mph for sure.

My buddy who tracks his 350z put a GT wing on his car a year ago and said it's noticeable difference when he's cornering. Prior to that he also only has the OEM lip like mine, except I think the 350z's OEM lips smaller. Anyway, as much as I like the wing, I don't like the fact that I can't drive my car once every 2 weeks out on the streets without the negative attention it'll bring. Maybe I'll just go with the Nismo Replica wing if I pull through with the Nismo Body Kit.

Autoclub Speedway here in Socal is a Nascar track. They have a big Roval where Zs ca easily hit 130. Willow Springs also has the Big Willow track which i haven't been to, bunt people say also has a big 130 mph capable turn. Those are the only 2 I know of where you can hit those speeds ad where a big wing would truly benefit you in this region.

If anything, you could get the Nismo styled high wing. Looks similar to the Nismo, but a little bit wider and taller, although I'm not too sure how that affects aerodynamics. Possibly an aerodynamic gain, but without the attention a GT wing draws.

Not sure if this link is still relevant but here's some more info:
EVO-R 370Z Highwing

Might be outdated so just look around.

Another link, same wing, but on Amuse rear:

You know you won't be able to see out that back window right?

bigsix

There's a small slit you can see through the back window in a stock Nismo w/ the wing. Very little visibility.

IMO it will only look good on a fully tracked out car... such as the ones you posted pictures of. On a DD it will look like cheese IMO.

fixed

370Z has a super wide chassis from stock, small wing wouldn't look good or big enough for functional purpose. Also, pay attention to different brands out there when choose a big GT wing. some wings carry with big penalty on drag.
I will have my wing finished up in a week, you can check back on my journal later and see if you like it or not.
