Spatt Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Hey all i have found a car on ebay with a huge spoiler on. looks awful... Here is the car http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350-Z-CUSTOM-2004-04-REG-47000-MILES-TAX-AND-MOT-WITH-FSH-/281188237566?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item41782000fe If i buy this car i would like to fit a nismo spoiler and maybe a carbon black one at that? would this be a simple enough task and would any holes/marks be covered by the new nismo spoiler. I get the feeling a boot respray might be necessary if i remove it. Anyone any ideas? Oh.. and those lights.... need to go. Quote
M13KYF Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 couldn't give a definitive answer tbh, the only way you will know is when you remove the current one and line up the nismo style one. lights are easily changeable, thankfully Quote
AliveBoy Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I doubt the nismo would cover it as the legs are quite wide, but I'll buy that spoiler off you (Genuinely!) Not the lights though, they naaaaasty Quote
hensh65 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 100% wont be covered by the nismo spoiler, but you could sell it for good cash which will cover the respray for the boot, it will no doubt be bolted on so will need a bit of body work. might be worth buying a new boot lid and selling that one Quote
Spatt Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 hmmm. having not seen the car in the flesh maybe i'll grow to like the spoiler.. what do you think i could sell this for as a base price on the forum? would need to get the nismo spoiler profetionaly fitted. could you recomend anyone to do this work.. i'll start the ball rolling with quotes. find the price hard to believe on this car? Quote
KyleR Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Spoiler and lights definitely need to go, and the M3 mirrors, horrible interior and halfords wheels. Seen this up a few weeks back and giggled at the description Quote
AliveBoy Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I googled the make of the spoiler and couldn't find anything. There's new chinese ones for £190 on ebay,so you might get £100 for it. Japspeed sell new ones for £350 so from your point of view it would be worth an ebay auction with a reserve of say £70. It's a wide one, so people would want it (me included) and if you can get a brand name and it's expensive you could get more. Quote

Thing you need to consider as well, most people who fit the nismo spoiler have it bolted onto the original oem holes then bonded. This boot doesn't have those either, personally I quite like the spoiler and would keep it. Quote

Neilp Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 That car used to run about in Glasgow and it was always getting thrashed around the streets. Tread carefully Quote
bizz Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 What width is the spoiler? I'd be interested in it too if dedman and hensh don't beat me to it :-P Quote
Spatt Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 the cars price is really interesting me. i'd try and knock it down a little but only to acomodate me buying some nice LED lights. (Rough price for these guys?) Also i know its been on there a while too as i remember seeing it a few months back. May keep the spoiler yet but i would HAVE to have a nismo put on and ifn its not an option it will stay. heading to Trade link at the weekend hopefully to show my face and take a look at what they have. thing is i could buy this red one pretty soon for that price but not exactly what i had in mind. thanks for all the input guys your a big help Quote
AliveBoy Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 What width is the spoiler? I'd be interested in it too if dedman and hensh don't beat me to it :-P You, StevoD, Hensh and I could do a group buy on stupidly big spoilers 1 Quote
hensh65 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I have a nismo fitted would leave this to one of you guys as you actually drift the car, I just park it Quote
StevoD Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I doubt the nismo would cover it as the legs are quite wide, but I'll buy that spoiler off you (Genuinely!) Not the lights though, they naaaaasty and if Dedman doesnt Message me for the wing not the lights Quote
Neilp Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Bizz, I'm currently looking at the voltex type 8 wing due to the foot mounts being huge and won't crack the carbon boot it's going on. I did find that japspeed do o a huge wing pretty cheap. Same one as they run on all there drift cars. May be worth looking at. Quote

AliveBoy Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 http://www.z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?model=350z&cat=exterior&prodid=7126 I'd love one of these or the big country labs ones! Quote
StevoD Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) BcL is about £500 less than the APR and about £1700 less than voltex haha Sorry for the thread Hi-Jack Edited October 24, 2013 by StevoD Quote
bizz Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Sorry Spatt seems like you've stumbled on to quite a popular topic. Neil that wing is awesome and would be perfect but like Stevo said I just can't afford to stretch that far at the moment. Money is flying out of my Z account quicker than ever Quote
Spatt Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 Whats the crack here. do you use that large wing for lift when your drifting or something. im naive to all this . where are you guys taking your cars drifting and how easy is it to get into? Never tracked a car but fancy taking mine to Oulton park when i grow a pair and can afford to insure it for racing Quote
hensh65 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Some amount of money for what it is ! ! although it does look minted! what about the big beasty RT does ? Quote

Never tracked a car but fancy taking mine to Oulton park when i grow a pair and can afford to insure it for racing You use the wing for rear down force to provide more grip. Ironically, the more grip the better in drifting. Grip means more speed, more angle, more smoke and far more control. When you accelerate from a small turn into a large one for example, you need grip to accelerate the car and not only to keep enough angle, but to stop the car from spinning out too. They also look totally awesome in my eyes Quote
