wow marco, I love you a 300zx TT

Some people including me would kill to have a car like that...

mod list?

 

So they make nose filler panels with the 'gills' on either side? The top pic has them on the pass. side while the other two are on the drivers side.

 

There a nice car, but could pass on the mini high rise lookin wing thing there. Gives it a shopping cart look.

 

isn't that the stock wing? I see those on all of them around vic.

 

Um...are you guys blind?

I can see 2 sets of nose gills on that panel. It has to do with the resolution of the picture and the angle that it was taken.

I think Mr.Marco has very nice car!

My car is imaginary, so I can't post it.

Maybe? There's a few around here 92-93 I think and they don't have that wing but they could have taken them off cause like I said there kinda goofy looking.

 

^^^ It's really unfortunate that a legitamate "Aero" part on a 250+ Km/hr car is seen as an afterthought. I'm not bashing your oppinion Chizzer, I just find it saddening that it's gotten this way. That car actually needs that wing to stay balanced at high speed. Most all of the other cars that people see wings like this on do not need them.

Having owned a car faster than Mr.Marco's 400hp Z, I can attest to the importance of "aero" work.

Most all of todays exotic high performance cars are turning towards underbody aero work to acheive downforce and stability once offered by wings, and front air dams.

When something is functional, I find it beautiful. I'm a fan of race cars, and in particular Formula 1 cars. Those are the current developing grounds of tommorow's aerodynamic technologies. Ground effects, and undertrays are the future of car aerodynamics. It's funny though, because nearly 30 years ago, Jim Hall with his Chapparel started the "Aero Age" with "ground effects".

I don't have a wing on my car though....doesn't need it.

thanks for the comments.

The nose pannel is a Stillen unit which has vents on either side in order to feed the A'pexi cone filter that lays directly below it.

the wing was also a stillen unit which has since been removed. It was a two piece unit blended in with the stock Twin Turbo wing.
this car actually uses a wing for more than just 'looks' as it adds stability at high speeds, especially at over 190 K/m (very easily surpassed on this car).

Chizzer, i've received nothing but compliments on this car, which i find to be one of the most beautiful cars ever made, and it looks far from ricey or shoping-cart like even with the said wing on it (which i have nonetheless removed in order to reduce weight and return it to a complete stock look).

Mods include Intake, gutted cats and pre-cats, full 2.5" exhaust, Jim Wolf ECU, all runnig at about 16 lbs o boost, on average good for 420 hp at the crank.

sadly it gets parked for winter today.

 

^^^ It's def a sweet car but after seeing multiple others with them wings they make cars that need them seem tacky. Yes it helps if your going at high speeds but how often do you get a chance to go over 190 km? **** I g0 130 on the 401 and I get pulled over lol.. So no disrespect towards your wheels it was just wing I said I wasn't a fan of, I'd still own a car like that any day but would remove the wing just cause of it's looks goofy on that style of car. Same as that old muscle car not sure if was the road runner or which but it had a huge wing like that as well.

 

There's a guy here in London with a red one just like yours, has pretty much similar mods as yours I think he's running around the 450hp range as well.
