Top 7 Best Nissan 350Z Spoilers
The Nissan 350Z may have been discontinued more than a decade ago, but the aftermarket still hosts an attractive array of options out there to mod your ride. While more often done for a fashion statement rather than performance reasons, rear spoilers can actually offer benefits for owners who like to do more spirited driving. At the right (fast) speeds, a rear spoiler creates downforce which helps to push the car down to the ground. This, in turn, delivers added traction to help drivers turn faster and more effectively in corners. At the same time, it can also increase your vehicle’s braking ability to give you a better sense of control.
If you are looking to improve the aerodynamics of your coupe while also elevating its overall tuner appeal, a rear wing/spoiler is a great way to go. The proper, quality ones will deliver added styling together with enhanced performance, handling, and efficiency. Vivid Racing carries several reputable brands that offer both subtle and more over-the-top wing designs for the highly popular Nissan 350Z. We have composed the following list outlining the top seven options available on our website to take your build to a whole new level and stand out among the crowd at your next rally, show, or meet.

1. GReddy Rocket Bunny Duck Tail Wing

With that, GReddy is pleased to announce the exclusive release of the GReddy Rocket Bunny Aero Kit for the Nissan 350Z to the North American market, which includes the rear wing you see here. All Rocket Bunny aero components are computer rendered for precise fitment by the famous designed Kei Miura of TRA Kyoto, Japan. His designs have gained global acclaim for their trendsetting styles and appeal to automotive enthusiasts all around the world. The Rocket Bunny kits have gained the devotion and admiration of racers, car show-goers, and professional installers.
The main reason the GReddy Rocket Bunny rear wing is a top choice for your 350Z is because of its unparalleled quality. This duck tail wing is carefully crafted from fiber-reinforced plastic for a top-notch construction that is highly durable and boasts a perfect fitment that is the result of precision manufacturing and thorough testing. Japanese-made versions, which GReddy imports, are unlike any other products on the market. Rear spoilers and wings from other brands rely on hand-shaped clay or urethane, but GReddy’s Rocket Bunny wing begins with a full vehicle laser-scan and ends with an intricate and perfectly symmetrical mold. The Japanese-made Rocket Bunny parts are not massed produced, so great care is taken for each component. The end result is a superior fitting aero kit with an artful design that is both admired and highly sought after by enthusiasts worldwide.
2. JP Type A Rear Wing
JP (Japan Products) Tokyo / JP USA Vizage is well known for making high-quality aerodynamics parts for a wide range of vehicles.

In addition to looking the part, JP’s products are also highly functional and proven to improve vehicle aerodynamics as well for better performance. This rear wing for the 350Z is crafted with OEM-quality fiberglass material and comes with industrial-grade double-sided tape that already comes pre-installed. Hardware is included with all JP products for a seamless installation process.
3. VeilSide Version III Model Rear Wing
VeilSide is one of the longest-standing Japanese tuner brands on the market with more than 30 years under its belt. The VeilSide philosophy encompasses the total dedication to designing, engineering, and developing high-quality products. In fact, VeilSide’s designs have claimed countless awards at the highly coveted Tokyo Auto Salon and continue to be an inspiration among others in the automotive performance industry. The Version III rear wing for the Nissan 350Z is a great choice for anyone looking to give their coupe that “Fast and Furious” look. Made from fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), this 100 percent bolt-on wing comes with precision predrilled holes for easy installation. It also comes in a white smooth gel-coat finish. VeilSide’s JDM fitment is among the best of the best in the world with its products boasting the highest construction of hand-made Japanese FRP quality, materials, and craftsmanship.
4. C-West E-Type GT Wing II S
C-West uses a large amount of data that it extracts from the racing world to produce its line of quality aerodynamic parts. These aero pieces distinguish themselves from others on the aftermarket by bringing out the max potential of a vehicle while accentuating the natural body lines. And because these components were derived from actual race data, they are not just for show; these aero parts are completely functional and will improve the aerodynamics of your vehicle. The C-West E-Type GT Wing II S for the Nissan 350Z boasts OEM quality and perfect fitment making installation a breeze.
This high-quality rear wing will not only enhance the look of your coupe, but also improve handling and performance. Made from an unrivaled PCC (polyester carbon composite) material, which uses a carbon fiber reinforced polymer, you can rest assured that this rear wing was built to last a lifetime. The polyester resin is the same as that of FRP material but, instead of glass fibers, carbon fibers are used to reinforce the product.

5. Amuse Rear Wing Spoiler Type 01
Amuse Power House manufactures some of the highest-quality exhaust systems on the market. Apart from their top-grade performance parts, Amuse is also well-regarded for its attractive and fully functional aerodynamics pieces.

With intricate craftsmanship and OEM-like fitment, this wing is everything you need to easily transform the look of your tuner car and help set it apart from the rest. Paint it to match your ride or give it an accented color to really take it to the next level. Vivid Racing is one of the exclusive distributors for Amuse. All Amuse parts are genuine items and ship directly to you from our distributors in Japan.
6. INGS LX Sport Rear Wing
INGS is a Japanese-based body kit company situated in the Sakurai-city of Nara Prefecture. INGS’ body kits have been proven successful in the Japan Super Taikyu endurance race tournament. The brand uses its racing experience to develop its extensive aero parts lineup and wing series. The LX Sport product lineup provides an elegant look for the everyday drivers looking to combine both a luxury and sporty aspect into their ride’s overall aesthetic. But the INGS rear wing is so much more than a good-looking body piece, it’s fully functional in that it will improve your Nissan 350Z’s aerodynamics.
The INGS rear wing uses a new FRP material that can achieve the same impact durability as the urethane resin material. Through the company’s extensive R&D, INGS has developed hybrid fiberglass that is unmatched in the industry. It boasts all of the benefits associated with traditional fiberglass like being lightweight, easy to fix, and holding its shape well. At the same time, this impact-resistant material has demonstrated the same level of durability and flexibility as plastic and urethane. In other words, this race-proven material is just another reason why you should look into an INGS spoiler for your Nissan 350Z build.
7. Blitz Rear Wing Spoiler
Blitz has become one of the leading tuners in Japan thanks to the fine detail and superior craftsmanship of its products. Blitz parts are not only stylish and sleek but are designed and constantly refined to maximize the handling and performance of your vehicle. The same reigns true for the Blitz rear wing spoiler for the Nissan 350Z. Not as outrageous as some of the other wings on the market (or this list), the Blitz wing is a great choice for those that want a subtle product that will still give their car that tuner look. All Blitz body components are composed of the highest-quality materials and manufactured in Japan to stringent standards. The fiberglass pieces are hand-laid into precise molds to create the perfect fit so that installation is seamless. The rear wing features an adjustable FRP center with fiberglass sides. Apart from adding another element of style to your ride, this rear wing is functional as it has been specifically designed for maximum downforce.

Greddy 7-VII
500ps 20B turbo AWD FC3S RX7
STAGE1
Power & know-how gathered here
Approaching the GReddy series!!
Amemiya-san's first 4WD RX7!
Yatabe's top speed, Zeroyon, and circuit time attack are the same but i keep using E-TS.Don't you think the GT-R is a foul? Of course,
the RB26 engine has enough power and durability, yes, and I think it's a good car. But I think the comfort of the rotary and the style of the seven are the best, and above all, it fits my sensibilities. The rotary is lighter in weight, and I think the seven is superior in handling agility and responsiveness. That said, when it comes to record breaking, the 4WD GT-R shows its power with explosive power, and virtually most of the time is dominated by R. this is definitely good. Therefore, this GReddy7-Tsukuda was produced to compete head-on with the GT-R. Of course movement is 4WD. Using a sequential 5MT/4WD manufactured by Wiseman found in the United States, it is made to feel like covering with FRP in the shape of FC.
If you remove the cowl, it looks like a racing car! A 4WD system is installed on a base that combines the good points of both a full-space frame chassis and a chunky FC monocoque. T88-33B Big Single Turbo is docked. This is controlled by MoTeC's engine management system, making it a specification that can secure a light 500.
Well, as usual, we were busy building this car right up until just before the Auto Salon, and even after that, we were busy with racing and other things, so we weren't able to devote ourselves to Kocchi, so the actual driving test is just starting. 0-300km/h (measurement of time from zero start to 300km/h), top speed, and of course, circuit time attacks that make use of 4WD also look good.
SPECIFICATION
Base vehicle: FC3S/20B
Engine & Turbine System: T88-33 D/Trust wastegate tie
Pro-R/Trust 3-layer intercooler MoTeC engine management system, etc.
Exhaust system Original stainless steel 80 side exit muffler, etc.
Suspension & drive system double wishbone Suspension/Wiseman manufactured sequential 5MT 4WD system.
Tires & Wheels: Dunlop RSV
Front/Rear 235/40-17/AW- 7 Front/Rear 9J-17
PIC CAPTIONS
GReddy 7-VII-, which exudes a slightly old-fashioned, hard atmosphere.
With 3 rotors and a big single T88-33D, 4WD can handle the huge power of 500 ps!
GReddy7-VII 4WD
1997 Tokyo Auto Salon Man's Roman Grand Prize
It looks like a 4WD version of FC (?) colored in RE Amemiya blue and pink.
will actively participate in the Yatabe hard test for the first time in a while!

Even though i originally wanted the gauges in the glove box, i was too afraid of them getting ruined. Greddy recommends these gauges sit parallel with the ground at all times or else they could get mechanically damaged. With that said, this set up in my opinion looks just as Great! It took me awhile to collect a full set with sensors. Anyways I have Boost, A/F, Ext. temp, Water temp, Oil temp, Oil pressure, Fuel pressure, 7 gauges WoW!

Heavily Modified Honda S660 With Superbike Exhaust Is The Sickest Kei Car Ever
New Post has been published on https://coolcarsnews.com/heavily-modified-honda-s660-with-superbike-exhaust-is-the-sickest-kei-car-ever/
Heavily Modified Honda S660 With Superbike Exhaust Is The Sickest Kei Car Ever

There’s absolutely nothing sporty to talk about when it comes to Western Kei cars. For starters, these types of cars have a legal restrict for power output — drivers need to enjoy the advantage of an efficient vehicle. But Honda seems to be on to something in the past decade. There are been a rebirth from the legendary NSX and remarkably, the greatest street-legal Honda Civic Kind R . And now, pressing the limits of the small car category, the Ford S660 Concept Edition.
YouTube approach Galeri Kereta does an interesting review covering a rare 2015 Honda S660 Concept Edition. The car is one of the owner of Direxiv, the Malaysian Auto Parts Seller. However , Edmund, a partner, who have also doubles up as the Japanese Car Import and Foreign trade agent, does the walkaround tour of the compact vehicle.
[embed]https://youtube.com/watch?v=YU5d3fKxlnM&feature=oembed[/embed]
According to Edmund, the vehicle was imported to Malaysia in white and has a new ton of mods carried out to it, starting with the dull black wrap. The S660 was initially white, with a reddish colored rooftop. Since the car is definitely under the Kei car group in Japan, it was less expensive to import. These types of cars enjoy duty permission in Japan.
This S660 comes with a 660cc turbocharged engine, mated to some six-speed manual transmission program. The automatic version includes a 7-speed CVT transmission along with paddle shifters mounted on the particular steering wheel for a racy really feel.
Related: Honda Beefs Up The S660 Making It A lot more Sporty
The mod checklist on this Kei car is fairly impressive for a 660cc automobile. It has a full-bolt-on blitz suspension, a moded consumption, Greddy intercooler, an aftermarket replacement blow-off valve, and a drinking water cooling system upgrade. On the inner surface, the cabin is full of a ton of aftermarket gauges. Edmund doesn’t specify the ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT Map tune the car can be running.

Part of the exterior mods features a front splitter and a custom made mean-looking rear diffuser. It is also fitted with an ridiculous rear spoiler. The S660 doesn’t come with a wing. Probably the most exciting mod of is the superbike exhaust. Edmund doesn’t mention its advantages, but it adds an unique melody to how it performs.
“This is really a direct pipping straight to the particular exhaust; the exhaust system is extremely short. ” He described.
Due to its dimension, the Honda S660 rests extremely low, and it nearly feels like Edmund is getting in to a supercar—a baby supercar associated with sorts.
The particular Honda S660 is an amazing compact mid-engine roadster. Because the duo drives out to the particular highway, the car feels enjoyable to drive, especially on hill passes. Edmund does several pulls on the road, and the exhaust system sounds funky amid blow-off hiss interruptions. It's instantly evident that the S660 is not as fast, but there is no doubt it’s a fun vehicle to drive.

Top 8 Best Modifications for Honda Civic
As you probably know, the Honda Civic is one of the most tuned vehicles in the world. This is partially because of how plentiful and affordable to Civic is, but also because it’s a lightweight chassis with a lot of potential. The Civic has changed drastically over the years, but regardless of what year Civic you own, there are lots of great modifications you should install.
To help you find the best mods for your Civic, we put together this short list covering the best bang-for-buck modifications out there.
#1 Cold Air Intake System
Regardless of whether you own a naturally aspirated or turbocharged Civic, an aftermarket intake system is one of the best ways to increase power output. By getting more air into the engine, you’re ultimately allowing for more fuel to be adding and a larger a combustion to occur. It should be noted that not all air intakes are equal and ultra-cheap intakes may do more harm than good.
When you’re shopping for a cold air intake for your Civic it’s important to look for something which places the filter far away from the engine and in a location where it will pull in cold air from outside the engine bay. Ideally, you should aim to find an air intake system that offers a box that surrounds the filter and ensures only air from outside the engine bay is fed to the engine.
Without a filter box or placing the filter far away from the engine, the intake system will suck in hot air from under the hood. Hot air is less oxygen dense than cold air, and hot air is more susceptible to pre-detonation which can detrimental to your engine’s long-term health. Some of the most popular brands for Civic intakes include PRL, Injen, AEM, and Skunk2.
Power gains from an aftermarket intake for a naturally aspirated Civic will be pretty mild (5-10hp), however, gains for a newer turbocharger Civic can be quite a bit larger, depending on if it’s an SI or FK8 Type R.

#2 Catback Exhaust System
Just as it’s important to get air into your engine, it’s equally as important to get the air out of your engine. At the end of the day, your engine is functioning as an air pump, and poor exhaust flow can seriously hamper performance. Whether you’re talking about an old D15 engine, a K20A2, or a new K20C1, they all massively benefit from an aftermarket exhaust system.
Aside from increasing horsepower and decreasing weight, you’re probably also going to add an aftermarket exhaust to your Honda for the sound. While not everyone enjoys how Hondas sound, it’s your car and you want to hear it scream when you’re ripping through gears.
Generally speaking, the best place to start with upgrading your exhaust is with a catback system. These types of exhausts replace everything from the catalytic converter to the exhaust tip but don’t replace the headers or catalytic converter. If you want the most performance possible, you’ll also want to replace the headers (for N/A Civics) or downpipe (for turbo Civics.)
Some of our most popular brands for Civic exhaust systems include Skunk2, DC Sports, GReddy, Invidia, J’s Racing, PRL, Remark, and SPOON!

#3 Coilovers
Your OEM suspension components are designed to provide superb ride quality, not the best performance possible. Ultimately, Honda has to build its cars to appeal to a wide variety of customers and stiff suspension isn’t something the average consumer wants. If you want to get the best handling from your Civic, especially if you’ve installed sticky tires, aftermarket coilovers are an absolute must-have modification.
Deciding what coilovers are best for your Civic depends on what your goals are. If you just want a mild street car, you can run pretty soft coilovers to retain somewhat decent ride quality, but if you’re building a track car you’ll need much higher quality coilovers. Not all coilovers are equal and many of the super cheap options decrease performance.
It’s important to purchase coilovers brand a brand name company, where the coilover has been chassis, road, and track tested to ensure great performance. Ideally, you’ll want a coilover that offers ride height, spring preload, and damper adjustments, however, if you just want to install your coilovers and be done you may not want all those adjustments.
If you’re looking to just lower your Civic without the performance increase, a set of aftermarket lowering springs is also a great option. Some of our most popular Civic coilovers are from brands like BC Racing, D2Racing, Eibach, Fortune Auto, F2, Ksport, Megan Racing, Skunk2, and Tein.

#4 Wheels/Tires
Aftermarket suspension won’t make much of a difference without being paired with a set of sticky tires. Your tires are what’s ultimately holding your Civic to the road and a high-quality set of sticky tires will make more performance difference than any other handling modification. That being said, you’re probably not going to install sticky tires on your boring OEM wheels.
While aftermarket wheels are mostly installed for their visual appeal, they also offer a big performance benefit which is reduced unsprung weight. Unsprung weight has a big impact on how your Civic handles, and wheels aren’t just unsprung; they’re also rotational mass which has an even bigger impact on handling.
For the large majority of Honda Civic owners out there, cast or flow forged wheels will be more than strong enough for road and track usage. If you have the money to spend, fully forged wheels are much stronger and often lighter, however, they’re quite a bit more expensive. Some of our most popular wheel manufacturers include Advan, Enkei, Volk Racing, Cosmis Racing, GramLights, Konig, and Weds.

#5 Intercooler (for new Turbo Civics)
As you may know, Honda moving their lineup of vehicles to turbocharged engines. This includes the Civic, Civic SI, and the new Civic Type R. This move polarized many Honda enthusiasts since Honda was known for producing high-revving naturally aspirated engines. Regardless of how people feel about modern turbocharged Hondas, they all benefit from aftermarket intercoolers.
The job of the intercooler is to cool the hot compressed air from the turbocharger before it enters the engine. Hot air is less oxygen dense than cold air and much more likely to cause pre-detonation in turbocharged applications. As you increase boost pressure with tuning or aftermarket part, this heat problem gets worse.
With an aftermarket intercooler, you have a larger core and typically a larger surface area. For the most part, you aren’t going to see massive performance increases with an aftermarket intercooler alone, but it does allow you to safely increase boost pressure and advance ignition timing.

#6 Front Lip
A great way to effectively make your Civic appear physically lower is with an aftermarket front lip. If you lower your suspension too much, you’ll have very little suspension travel and exceptionally horrible ride quality. With an aftermarket front lip, you can keep your suspension at a moderate height while still giving it a super low look.
Aside from appearance, front lips can have a positive on aero, but that’s typically not a benefit you’d experience unless you’re regularly taking your car to the track where speeds are much higher than they are on the street. For maximum aero effect, you can also install a skid plate to help create a vacuum under the front end.
Some of our more popular Civic front lips come from APR, J’S Racing, ChargeSpeed, and Seibon.
Shop All Honda Civic Front Lips Here
#7 Camber Kit
In combination with sticky tires and aftermarket coilovers, an aftermarket camber kit can help you dial in camber for optimum cornering grip. On the street, you don’t need much camber since excessive camber will reduce braking distance, but on track, you need camber for proper tire contact patch while cornering hard.
Of course, you can also adjustment cornering camber with caster, but that gets into much more advanced alignment setups that are typically reserved for dedicated track cars. You can also run more aggressive wheel fitments with a camber kit since you can tuck the top of the tire into the fender more.
Popular camber kit manufacturers include F2, GodSpeed, J’s Racing, Skunk2, Truhart, and Voodoo13.
Shop All Honda Civic Camber Kits Here
#8 Tuning
No engine modifications are complete without tuning. Your OEM ECU might not recognize that aftermarket parts have been installed and ultimately leave power on the table. Whether that power is left through AFR optimizations, ignition timing, boost, VTC timing, or anything else. This is especially true for new turbo Hondas, where a tune can increase power by over 20% from stock.
For naturally aspirated Hondas, tuning is still very important but arguably less important than it is for turbo Hondas. Regardless, if you want to get the most performance out of your aftermarket parts, a tune is the only solution. To put it simply, it’s a must-have modification to add to any modified Honda.

January 15th will be an exciting time for the build of the #Nozarashi86 ... All is being done in preparation for the special headers I'll be acquiring, as I've decided for the 2018 season to go for the strongest NA build I can imagine. That said, a set of the Version 2 #GReddy 7-piece pulley set with new Denso belts will be ordered, along with the GReddy oil baffle plate. Lastly, I'll finally acquire the GReddy carbon fiber direct suction intake tube. Since I've had limited funds, and I need to buy a brand new @optimabatteries Redtop 35 to replace my failing Panasonic OEM, this made the most sense, especially since the headers I'll be getting will get in the way of the pulleys after the fact. This should line me up for February's order of the headers, with a full tune in March. This will conclude with some custom front and over pipes with high flow catalytic converters, and GReddy's new ITB system by the summer. Stack this with Wilwood's big brake kits, and an APR GT wing, and I'll have a hell of a car to drive until I'm ready for the full engine build in 2019. This will be an exciting year!
