Does the Nismo wing add any downforce?

It may be possible to take it to a fiberglass shop and have them cut off a 1/2
" and reconture it accordingly.

The cost of modification may be worth the NASA points.

I've actually made the decision to slow the car down rather than work to make it faster for next season. I will be removing some parts and running down a class in TTC. To be competative in TTB next year, I'd have to spend too much on parts that make more sense in terms of lap times. (ie ditch the nismo wing and get a real one). I really was doing the old 'run what you brung last year' because I put the car together before I was competing. I don't think I would do well if I field my exact same car next year.
However, with all that I am removing, I think I can have a car within 1-2 sec of what I had last year.

If the rules allow it, you need a plenum spacer on that thing.

Ha, the REAL go fast parts are staying on the car
Wing's and noisemakers are gone.
Only thing I've got that might be of interest is some R-comps.

The nismo rear spoiler goes together with the aero package on the nismo 350z together it creats 11 lbs ofdownforce in front and 33 lbs of downforce rear when removed see if you feel the difference since a a stock z actually creates 70 something lbs of LIFT in the rear and several more lbs of lift in front.........if its short course needing excellent handling you may want to keep

You might be right, but the thread is about the original Nismo S-Tune wing, not the Nismo wing that came from the factory with Nismo 350Zs.

You mean the NISMO V3 package? Do you have a source? Also, those numbers are usually referenced with an associated velocity. . .
