JSAI was advertising these awhile back, here's the link

top secret rear diffuser

Thanks heaps dude :(

I remember that thread. Totally forgot about it.

If only he had pictures of what it actually looked like installed on a 33 with a stock rear bar. As is, I couldn't purchase one from there :). The pics that he has up don't really show the shape of the thing either. Disappointing.

w00t :thumbsup:

Awesome.

Methinks there's an open market for something like this just waiting to be tapped.

But, I wish I had my car with me atm so I could take some more pics and draw it up properly...I'll see if I can do anything with the shots I have. (I never really took many shots of the bum)

Hey mate, after searching my database I only have 1 pic of an R33 with rear diffuser I'm afraid :)

Hope it helps post-35130-1186653408_thumb.jpg

Thats a Ziax carbon rear diffuser, I remember him making one as a test but no sure if he went in to production with them, cant see them on his website but may be worth a email you never know, the web address is www.ziax.co.uk

Not really a fan of that style.

My mate had one on his GTST. It was made for a GTR, but actually fitted nicely on the GTST. He has since sold the car, without the diffuser, and is about to fit the same diffuser on his GTR.

I think it looks awesome, and it worked toooo well. He is trying to find a matching diffuser for the front. On the GTST, the car looked like the rear suspension had blown, due to the down force created by the diffuser, when he was hammering down the straights. It's made from pure c/f and i think it cost him about $1000 s/h.

Below are a few pics i took of the diffuser, the last one is a stitch of 4 pics, as i didn't take a pic from far back. Pics were taken as proof of condition, before car was loaded on a truck to be freighted across Australia, when he moved from Melb to Perth.

I'm setting one up using a Trial rear bumper for my race car. It is one piece and extends well under the car.

As for these doing nothing, well, I'm glad now I wasted so many years on engineering and fluid dynamics........

Well, if you've done your homework and put the thing through a wind tunnel etc, then it'll do something. TBH, I would be surprised if the generic ones that I'm looking at actually do anything. I mean, maybe around turn 1 at EC I'd notice a tiny difference. But other than that I doubt the ones I'm looking at would do little if anything at all.

That's a nice look. All fitted.

I think I prefer the "stuck on" aftermarket look of the Top Secret diffuser though.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
