gt3rs style vents 370z?
 

Hey all,

Has anyone mimicked the gt3 rs vents on a 370z?

Thanks

Can't make up my mind if I want these or not... so many things going on ugh

we know for SURE you didn't search since that Carbon vent thread is RECENT

Hey guys, I am specifically referring to the rear vents, sorry should have been more clear in the OP.

you gotta be ******* kidding me

are you referring to the vent under the spoiler, between the taillights?

you know what a 911 would have that and NOT say . . . any front engined car, right?

Hey, yeah the vent under the spoiler is correct, it would look good on the 370Z, and I heard it helps increase down force. Its part of the reason why the GT3 RS is so fast around a track.

The Porsche GT3's engine is in the rear of the car. Here's why it has those vents:

Like others have said "this is due to a rear engine." As far as adding down force, I would start getting my info from some one else who know what they are talking about!!

If down force is what you want, check this mod out:

Hey whats goi... :wtf2:

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?

The RS is a street legal track car. It was purpose built to go fast around a track...

So yes, while the rear bumper vents/ducts do aid in engine cooling, they do aid in down force by cutting down on the "parachute" effect (I don't know the proper term) of the rear bunper. However, you also need to realize the undercarriage, wing, front fender vents,etc. all play a role. Doing only one will upset the characteristics of how the vehicle handles at speed.

I had contacted Verus (formerly Velox) about producing undercarriage panels for the Z similar to the ones the make for the 86s, WRX/STI and Miatas. But due to the piss poor reception of the diffuser they produced for us, they won't be making anymore parts for the Z34.

:facepalm:

Hey dude, thanks for the info!

So if I was to also get some custom style GT3 RS undercarriage panels produced, I could then have this rear panel over the glass as well to reduce the parachute effect.

OK, so maybe I'm picturing what you want wrong since the area behind the glass on a Z opens into the cargo area. Are you thinking you'll put a vent there and then run some kind of duct through the cargo area to the undercarriage in some kind of attempt to gain rear downforce? Did I follow that right? Please tell me I'm not reading you right because it almost seems like you've never opened the hatch and looked around, or looked under the car at all the mechanical bits to see why this would not work.

:ugh2:
There’s a perfect meme for this somewhere

Hey, I am referring to the vents that sit just below the rear glass that contains the brake light.

Ok, so I'm not picturing it wrong. :facepalm:

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.

Can we pin this?

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.

This can't be for real.

No, he was saying that those parts affect the car. I seriously doubt any of those parts would crossover to anything other than another Porsche.

...and all my comments before were for the rear bumper vents. The vent for the engine.... what everyone else said.

Dude, stop. There’s no way you’re actually this stupid.

Actually, the 370Z Facebook thread is full of insanity like this.

I know. It needs to stay there.

That's one of the reasons I'm not on farcebook.

I got to post my cat. :tup:

You're so much better off. It literally hurts my head at times. I try to help, but it's no use. I rarely log in these days.

Good one!
