So the whole purpose of that application on the Porsche 911 is to get the wing into the clean air.
Mike
That's the same reason for raising this wing. At 4 inches it will be at the roof line just like any other wing I buy and attached to the trunk.
Thanks
I wouldn't make your uprights anything other than straight vertically. Too much pressure at speed, and if everything is not super stiff you can get cavitation (flutter) which will beat the hell out of the mounts and uprights. If you went with separate mounts for the wing and the spoiler, you wouldn't have this issue. If your uprights fold as you go through a turn at 140 mph or into a braking zone, you might leave the track at very high velocity. There are vids of wings and supports failing on youtube. Get a quality wing and get it mounted securely. I don't know about that APR wing that you have, but I do know that I was at an autox a couple weeks back and a guy with an EVO had their double element aluminum wing and it was cracked pretty badly where the uprights bolted to it. He was aware of the cracks and said that they happened at a track day and he hadn't bothered to replace the wing yet.
I couldn't get to that link...I'll try on my desktop, I'm on my phone at the moment. The riser will be straight after reading, anything fancy and not tested will more than likely fail.
This is the wing, but it's exactly for the 350Z. I'll be having a shop fab pedestals to the same specs as the apr wing. At 4 inches it would put the wing right below the roof line. So not too much into 'clean air' , but into more of it?
Again thanks for the feedback...

Not sure you you would attach the uprights without it looking really kluged. I'd just go buy a spoiler and get a good wing and install them separately.
Thanks for the input first off...
I think I should clarify what I'm envisioning. Take a look at the picture of the wing seperated, the middle stantion/blade will be removed. Therefore leaving just the two wings...with a 4 inch riser.
like so
I have a APR 300 wing on standby, but would like to see this materialized first.
thanks again

Hi all,
I'm a newb...I'm looking to visually enhance and aerodynamically increase the role of my wing!
I read this link...my head started to hurt, along with my eyes...

So my question to all the engineers, and forum know it alls...in short what do you think the pros/cons of raising the stock nismo V3 wing?
quotes from my thread over on my350z....
any inputs is appreciate it...loving this site so far!
Either way removed my wing today in preparation for awesome or complete and utter failure!
Pop trunk and remove the six black tape circles covering (6) 10mm bolts and (2) 10mm nuts!
A whole bottle of this is required! Not even kidding...floss and plastic knife help!
The mess it left?
Authentic Nismo 350Z Z33 V3 Wing Spoiler (<---for engine searches) is 10lbs max my house scale is accurate but by myself wasn't able to hold the wing and take picture!
(3) 10mm each side (6) total...1 Philips head bolt' date=' didn't size it holds the center blade down
Seperated!
For the high rising idea, it's not a smooth/flat surface. So the mount gonna have grooves in it.
Hey so my mind been racing since I removed the wing! Where are all the engineers at? I'm only good at removing things lol.Couple questions:
So the V2 doesn't have a center stanchion' date=' why doesn't the V3?
Would rising it to the roof line be too much stress on the wing now that it's 4 pieces?
Currently drawing a design for the riser so that is aesthetically pleasing to the eye! Thanks
