Whale tail
 

Hey guys do any of you guys know the differance between the low profile whale tail wing vs the turbo style whale tail.

I Think From What Ive Seen, The Little Lip Around The Sides And Back Is Smaller On The Low Profile.

ah so then it wouldnt cause to much drag then hmmm cause there is like a hundred dollar differance in price from msa. That is why im asking

Actually, you might want to contact them to see if they actually have either in stock. I hear they've been having supply issues on body parts for awhile now. So if either or both are unavailble, it may be a moot point.

Geez, whaddya gonna be doin' 200+ MPH??? https://www.zdriver.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif

They Are Having Large Supply Issues, Thats Why Im Buying Darrellbuddies, You Cant Get Them For A Long Time Now. We Should Ship Some Stuff To China For Molds To Be Made, It Would Probably Only Cost 50 Bucks A Spoiler Then

Well i also saw some through british victoria but there price are high. hmm 200kph hehe.

Wasn't that wing rated at something like 370 pounds of downforce at 100mph. But Nissan also advises you install a front air dam to counter the affects of the rear wing. Otherwise your front end might flyaway :D

That Rating Was For The Zxr Wing, The Low Profile Was Like 150psi, And I New Somebody Who Had The Front Take Off Due To The Whale Tail And No Airdam.

Haha, yeah I've read that too. You would think with a warning like that, they'd also produce/sell an airdam to go along with it. Talk about a missed marketing opportunity!

"When ordering this whale tale, in order to avoid unexpected front end lift off, click this link to buy an air dam!"

Or Just Build One Like Mine!!!!

word :D Now if only I could use a hammer to do more then destroy :D

Destroying Is Cool Too. To Make Something You Must Destroy First

What happens if you just get a front air dam? Your rear wheels start losing grip?

Rear spoiler only at high speeds = understeer
Front spoiler only at high speeds = oversteer
Too much of either and it can get ugly.

That about sums it up ;)

You plannin on goin 150+ mph?

I've only got a front air dam and I lose grip all the time taking off in 1st gear! :D

Yah hopefully if all works right I want to hit the 140 150 mark but ill need to tune up all the suspension for that. Or if i dont do that i just want the look that it can. Oh and anyone know where i can buy some molding clay for cheap because most of the places ive been want a hell of a lot for the stuff.

Thas a good question... I'd like to do some custom fiberglass kits, but I dunno where to get clay that doesn't cost 2 arms & 3 legs! Maybe J knows? :D

I imagine auto engineers use expensive shit!

Well did some looking on ehow and I found out how to make polymer clay if anyone wants to try. http://www.ehow.com/how_7931_polymer-clay.html anyone want to cook.

If you want to make a large part then I'd avoid clay. That ish is expensive no matter what. For smaller stuff or to do some fine shaping I used Klean Clay. It's available at most fiberglass supply shops. Foam is a much less expensive alternative to using clay. And it's not too difficult to work with. You can get expanding foam and make large chunks of foam to use for carving parts from scratch. If you want to add something like making a fender wider you can use sheets of foam adhesesed to the part and then carved to a rough shape. If you want to make something small bondo works good to shape slight shape differentiations. Clay is messy and no fun to work with when detail is important. I prefer rough shaping foam and then covering it with bondo and final shaping the bondo with a sander. For Klean Klay try www.shopmaninc.com or www.fiberglast.com
