gt3rs style vents 370z?

SunnyDays · 11-09-2018, 09:18 AM

So does this mean I can not have the rear vents because it needs an engine or? Can it not just go over the glass, surely it would help with traction due to more weight over the rear wheels?

There’s a perfect meme for this somewhere

Ok, so I'm not picturing it wrong.

I was not going to run anything to the ducts through the cargo area, I was just going to bolt it on over the top of the glass, this would still help down force right?

How would a vent to nowhere help anything at all? The vent is not what provides downforce, the air moving thorough it is.

Through aerodynamics / the shaping of it.

I think you're confusing drag for downforce. The short answer, to save you time, is that your idea will not work, and you should spend your time thinking about other things.

Thanks for the info! So if I want this to work really I should apply the front and rear GT3 RS bumpers, and somehow route airflow through the cargo area right?

No. You should stop wasting time thinking about any of what you’ve talked about. If you want downforce, buy a wing and front splitter.

or just . . .

buy a Porsche?

because this is alot of pipedreaming about **** you don't understand

this is probably a waste of time

but

I really, REALLY doubt you're doing the kind of driving (i.e. on a TRACK) where this sort of aerodynamic **** is gonna make a lick of difference

and before even getting that far, there are MANY, MANY things that affect the car WAY more than a fuckin' vent in the back stolen from a totally different (race engineered) car.

#1 would be the driver - you - who appears clueless. So improving that would be a big help

#2 and everything is . . . the engine, the suspension, brakes, tires, hell, safety tech, if you're even doing that sorta thing

but back to everyone's point

it sounds like you should STOP ASKING THESE STUPID ******* QUESTIONS and read and learn about how cars work

maybe go to a track day and ride with an instructor , other experienced drivers. rent a spec miata.

Sunny, do you do any track days or drive on the Autobahn? That's the only two places that aero pays off. Think I know what you want to do. But it would take a whole redesign of the Z. Those vents you see on the GT are for the oil coolers. It's where the air comes out of. They don't provide any down force. If they did. It would be very little.

Hey, a lot of it is just down to aesthetics, when it drives by and you see vents coming out of the back it just looks cool. I do not attend regular track days or even the auto bahn.

So if I am understanding correctly you are saying I should also potentially take the suspension, brakes and alloys from the 911 GT3 RS? I am not sure how feasible that is but if it makes the mods better all round then im all for it.

I do not do track days, I just like the way it looks, and really it should be enough in that it looks cool and gives me a couple extra HP / acceleration speed from the aero of that piece on the back.
