Hi, We're Big Country Labs and we make BIG WINGS - Page 3 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Big Country Labs · 08-15-2012, 12:13 PM

FD Vegas is coming up! Keep at eye out for George Marstanovic ("george" on here) putting our wing to good use.

turtl631 · 08-15-2012, 04:29 PM

That's good to hear it made a noticeable difference. I've been surprised there aren't more affordable "big wing" options out there with the popularity of the style and more time attack builds.

Any idea how much drag this thing is making at higher speeds?

Well... a lot - drag is a consequence of downforce. F1 cars have drag coefficients around .7, compared to the .3 you'd see for something like a camry.

STR8 H8N · 08-16-2012, 06:53 AM

Definitely looking at the 350Z, but right now we're just gauging interest. Expect it to happen though.

hurry up lol

Nissansota240 · 08-16-2012, 07:23 AM

Definitely diggin this wing, is there any pics of it installed on a s14 zenki? tried searching, but came up with nothing

Edit: Just looked back through the beginning of the thread and seen that you haven't gotten any pics yet.

Keep up the good work though, wings are lookin awesome.

Right, but a better wing design will have a more favorable ratio of downforce to drag. It sounds like this thing is making a big difference on track, but I was just curious if the drivers felt like their speeds at the end of straights were slower as a result of drag.

I'm interested in this for lapping days rather than drift, hence my concern.

Interested in pics of S14 Zenki fitment!

Big Country Labs · 08-16-2012, 01:55 PM

Gotcha

The best info we can give is Stew's writeup - he talks about the changes that came with adjusting wing pitch.

Big Country Labs - GT Wings done right for FC, S13, S14, S2000, and FD

Let us know if we can help with anything else!

*TougeLabs* · 08-20-2012, 12:52 PM

I have a few 350's in the shop right now. Still waiting for a call back

Big Country Labs · 08-21-2012, 03:06 PM

That's a little bit of a drive!

Big Country Labs · 08-22-2012, 11:18 AM

If wings are a little rich for you right now, we also have these jammies

$15 shipped

Well I was saying I could measure everything out for you.

Weedm · 08-23-2012, 06:02 PM

I made a thread on My350z concerning the measurements. I'm sure a few members have emailed Colin regarding an appointment.

Hope to hear from you guys soon! I'll be one of the first Z33 guys to rock it if you guys decide to make it.

Big Country Labs · 08-28-2012, 10:28 AM

@TougeLabs, thanks but we are only really comfortable with doing these things ourselves

@Weedm thanks a ton! We have scheduled to meet up with a couple guys to do 350z/370z and also the FRS/BRZ

Big Country Labs · 08-29-2012, 01:32 PM

Little update - haven't seen our wing in action yet?

Check out George Marstanovic at FD Vegas in our new video.

Fun Fact: even with only 400hp, george set the highest entry speed in qualifying. Can't do that with mechanical grip alone...

t-town hatch · 08-29-2012, 01:34 PM

Want to see s13 hatch with one and s2k wouldn't mind picking up two for both cars, awesome pricing!

Big Country Labs · 08-29-2012, 01:55 PM

S2000 is in the works (lot of interest there)

I don't know why we don't have a photo on a 13 hatch yet

gripROYAL · 09-03-2012, 08:17 AM

"HURRY UP AN' BUY"

Corifto · 01-18-2013, 06:22 PM

My buddy Tom just got his, but it's off for paint. This is the only picture of it on so far.

DJPimpFlex · 01-18-2013, 09:34 PM
