    ZCC - Custom Tail Project (Rear Spoiler)

    in Body Kits & Paint

    Posted · Edited by RTz

     

    I believe the optimum spoiler shape was found to be 30 degrees from horizontal and 6 1/2" in height.

     

    This is a good-looking spoiler and the only thing keeping me from buying it is the aerodynamic shortcomings.

     

     

    Three things...

     

    1) I don't recall the areo findings specifically saying one combination was best (or magic, or ideal, or optimal, or...) If it did, I certainly wouldn't spend any more time reading it :wink:

     

    2) I'm pretty sure the wind tunnel revealed the whale tails and wings to be very effective at producing downforce (more is not always better, incidentally). Personally, I just can't bring myself to installing either on my daily driver. Road race car? Sure. But, not for my back road toy. On the flip side, I'm not interested in the whimpy little (3") duck tail that's so popular. The wind tunnel convinced me it's not worth the trouble. While we haven't tested the sparrow tail, I'm betting it's somewhere in between those extremes (pretty likely on the modest end). It's also a compromise I could live with every day.

     

    3) The sparrow tail might fit into my compromises. However, it's my first point that may keep me from committing to one. Because there is no magic combination, I would really like to have something adjustable. If it wasn't for this reason, I'd probably have ordered a sparrow already. I'm still a definite maybe.

    Heres what I have. What would you use?

    I do like them...

     

    Why?

     

     

    My only other option for fuel is the efi and I would have to figure out where the wires were cut and so on

     

    There are lots of options.

     

    The cut wires are not that big of a deal. The EFI harness is entirely separate and easily removed/replaced. With the Megasquirt craze, I'd be surprised if you couldn't get another harness on the cheap.

     

     

     

    Any feedback on these carbs.

     

    Sure. 1 of 1000 people like them, and no one knows why :wink:

     

     

    There had to be an advantage to them at one point.

     

    No. Just a gullible market. Many enterprise's care about what sells, not what works.

     

    Its kinda going to what would work best for my carbs thread.

     

    If you're open minded and motivated, you're not stuck with those.

     

     

    How do I change the title?

     

    You can't. Staff can. I'm *this* close to shedding this one. Simply because you need to spend more time searching/reading. This stuff has been discussed and discussed and discussed. No one here can tell you what's right for you.

     

    Let's put this on a specific track or it goes to jail :wink:

    that is beautiful. but i still favor the first one. does not have that extra welded on the intake.

     

    There is nothing "extra" welded on the intake. The first picture is slightly disassembled and has no air filter.

    haynes... chilton.. none of them worth the paper they are printed on. Full service manuals from the factory are the only way to go.. if you look around online you can find them in pdf form for free sometimes.

     

     

    Haynes manual for the S30 isn't bad at all. The FSM for a 240z is nothing special, a few extra nuggets, but nothing to shout about. As cars have gotten more complicated, the FSM competitors have fallen back.
