See the below pic, anyone have these on their GTR - the bit from the front lower lip to the wheel well...

Are they are factory part, or are they a Nismo part??

I don't have em, and want a pair :D

Please enlighten me

I figured that you could duct them to the brakes...

cheerio :D

I was actually looking at not having such a dramatic change in cross sectional area along the length of th educts...as i thought doing so may cause turbulence at the inlet and hurt flow...albeit it would increase the velocity of air...

No doubt Nissan no more then me. :) But looking at race cars, after having a large throat to capture air, they typically maintain a similar cross sectional area, even if they do go freom rectangular passage to 80mm flex duct.

My undertray also goes to just in front of the steering rack...if you want one should be a bolt on between GTST and GTR once i am sure the ducting works (LOL, bring on Sandown)

I have them on my GTR....well i have one now! The other one ripped off as i had to drive somewhere without a front bar (cooler hose blew off and i was already 1hr late). I dont think the cable ties held it well enough. I was thinking of going proper ducting like V8 supercar style instead of using these. Otherwise i gotta find one more!

My 89 has them.  Looking at FAST suggests they are standard part for JDM spec R32 GTR's

I should add that my car also has a curved rubber 'defelector' attached to each of the tension (castor) rods, which directs air from the ducts onto the back face of the brake disc through a hole in the backing plate. These also appear to be a standard JDM R32 GTR part.

I doubt that it's particularly effective, but better than nothing.

i think the intention here was to have them double as pie coolers. pie too hot? place in front of duct, drive for 2 minutes then remove. perfecto. the reduced cross sectional area stops said pie from entering brake rotor - messy.

My R32 V-Spec II has them, but I have only kept to the tow point of the factory part, cut the rest off, installed a PCV downpipe section to convert the 4"x1.5" duct into a round 3.5" duct and run heat tollerent flexi ducting back to the rotor centre.

The item on my car that isn't in that pic is an extra air guide on the castor rods... again, cut and shut the air guide and its now just a bracket that the ducting is braced to.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
