Video of Nismo wing aero testing

NissanGuy23 · 09-16-2012, 02:10 AM

One morning i had alot of dew droplets all over my car, and drove to work, and looked at the rear view mirror and as all the droplets were flinging off the car, i got to witness a wind tunnel effect perfectly. As far as i could see, the wing was working as it should, because the droplets were hitting it and shooting up in the air like a rooster tail effect. The wing comes off the hatch area, and hits into the wing and shoots off of it. Its not slick (reduces cd), but pushes the a$$ down on the ground as it should. Cool vid!

I have a basic knowledge and understand both of your comments already. Mwhit you basically said what was seen and expalined already in the video. I guess what I should of asked was:

According to your results is the wing functioning up to par? Or could a cost effective solution be made to correct any problems? Do you want the air stagnant in front of the wing flowing to it? Would a roof diffuser help in any way?

I do not know much about aero parts but I would assume a roof diffuser would keep the air flowing over the car in a better patern to transfer to the rear wing during a corner?
