Hey all,

I'm done a fair bit of mods to my R33 GTS-T lately, and it's now time to do it up a bit from the outside... I got a full GTR bodykit with 18 inch deep dish rims, HID's blah blah... but it still looks like something is missing... I spoke to a few people amd heard of GT-R33 Front under diffusers - they look awesome and apparently add to some performance (aero dynamics).

The question is where to get them??

There's a crowd calling themselves Abflug Performance - their diffusers look mad as ... I'm willing to pay, just don't know how to purchase - do Aussie manufacturers have copies etc? Please help someone....

Yes, they have front and rear diffusers. As far as I know Top Secret and Varis have diffusers for Skylines too.

Just get an importer such as Slidewize Imports on these forums to bring some in for you.

Thanks for that... but are they're much varieties involved, how much are import costs and how do I know exactly how much they cost? Does Slidewise Imports specialise in these stuff?

You will have to pay for freight by sea, as these are too big for EMS. Then you will have to pay Slidewize their service fee on top of that. I have imported a bonnet through them before and I cant say im unhappy with the service.

I guess the logical thing to do would be to PM him (Zac) :(

I've just bought mine from UAS(www.uniqueautos.com.au) they have the series 3 r33 gtr front lip for $295 in fibreglass and its pretty good. It all fit fine on my car I have the same as you. GTST with full widebody conversion etc. All you have to do is prep and paint it and its ready to go. The service was amazing but it got here and better than paying $1200 for one from nissan.

Wow wow, sounds awesome... great news for us.... you got any pics of your car... love to see it and droll. :(

That's a front lip, not a diffuser. Big difference. Also the first time you hit your fiberglass lip it will crack/shatter. Original Plasic ones can take a beating without taking too much damage.

Yeah, the bottom plastic lip is quite thick nd withstands bumps very nicely... the question is, where to get one??

Bro, your front bar already have something like a lip, adding on this lip will look weird. It'll look like the front has 2 lips.

So are you after a front lip or a front diffuser?

If you're after a front lip then there are different ones. Originaly Series 1/2 Front lips are plastic and are what most R33 GTR's have, Series 3 lips are a bit bigger/more aggressive and are plastic, obviously come on the Series 3 R33 GTR's. About 900$ for the s1 and $1200 for S3 lip from nissan. They are plastic and will take a beating.

You can get fibreglass copies from lots of places, one of them is uas as listed above. Fibreglass is a lot cheaper but will crack/chip easier than original plastic, keep that in mind.

Hey mate, thanks for your reply and info... it's much appreciated...

Yeah, I like the stock R33 GTR lip a lot (the rubbery plastic one) - besides wreckers... only Nissan can order them genuinely from Japan and yes, you are right... about $600 sounds right... too much... diffusers look like lips and they look so aggressive...

I'll just have to see how things go... thanks mate...

yeh u gota ask yourself, is it realy worth it? are u taking your car to the track where it can actually benefit u and ull notice the effects? or do u just want it for looks?

Personally i would love a small subtle one for looks, but aint paying anywhere near $2000 for one.

Hey guys, yeah, gotta be honest and say it's more for looks ... it does look very nice though and does add some performance gains, but $2K for one is a bit too much... if it was, say, $500 or something I would definitely buy it.

Surely there must be some aftermarket ones out there that are cheaper?

    • I guess when I say it's a POS I mean.. the solution and the stuff has the capacity for maybe... 1 spot. You know, as a spot cleaner. What I really *want* is the ability to do an entire car, all upholstery, all carpet, mats, all seats, door card inserts, A pillars, roof liners, etc. In one go. I get lured by all the jank that comes out and think "I'd like to be able to clean to that degree"
    • I've got one (not the car one, the domestic spot cleaner one, which is basically the same jobbie) and have driven it hard for hours and hours at a time. Grimy sofas, 6' floor rugs, etc. I'd blame your specific example rather than the whole category. I haven't used mine in the car, because.... you know, it's my car. So there is no-one else's ball sweat in the driver's seat, there's no kid food/drink spills or hand prints inside because they've never had an opportunity to put them there. You know, basic, standard Skyline rules.
    • I normally run with I think a 10mm, and definitely use the second handle you can add to a drill. They hurt when they bins up!   For the crush tube, once all subframe is clear, I'd try some stilsons and see if I can get it to start to twist.
    • Probably because they couldn't, because the use of the variable resistor to create a "signal" in the ECU is managed by the ECU's circuitry. The only way that VDO could do it would be if they made a "smart" sensor that directly created the 0-5V signal itself. And that takes us back to the beginning. Well, in that case, you could do the crude digital (ie, binary, on or off) input that I mentioned before, to at least put a marker on the trace. If you pressed the button only at a series of known integer temperatures, say every 2°C from the start of your range of interest up to whatever you can manage, and you know what temperature the first press was at, then you'd have the voltage marked for all of those temperatures. And you can have more than one shot at it too. You can set the car up to get the oil hot (bypass oil coolers, mask off the air flow to oil coolers, and/or the radiator, to get the whole engine a bit hotter, then give it a bit of curry to get some measurements up near the top of the range.   On the subject of the formula for the data you provided, I did something different to Matt's approach, and got a slightly different linear formula, being Temp = -22.45*V + 118.32. Just a curve fit from Excel using all the points, instead of just throwing it through 2 points. A little more accurate, but not drastically different. Rsquared is only 0.9955 though, which is good but not great. If you could use higher order polynomials in the thingo, then a quadratic fit gives an excellent Rsquared of 0.9994. Temp = 2.1059*V^2 - 34.13*V + 133.27. The funny thing is, though, that I'd probably trust the linear fit more for extrapolation beyond the provided data. The quadratic might get a bit squirrely. Hang on, I'll use the formulae to extend the plots.... It's really big so you can see all the lines. I might have to say that I think I really still prefer the quadratic fit. It looks like the linear fit overstates the temperature in the middle of the input range, and would pretty solidly understate what the likely shape of the real curve would say at both ends.
    • I got a hand held bisssel one and it's a piece of shit. Doesn't work for more than about 5 seconds. So much so that I nearly refuse to believe any wet dry vac actually works or has enough suction to clean the carpet of a car. I'm discouraged as all the good ones are $300+ for an unknown result. I saw MCM did a Ryobi video where they use this thing: https://www.ryobi.com.au/products/stick-vacuum-cleaners/18v-one-hptm-brushless-spot-cleaner-tool-only Anyone have any experience actually using a tool like this when not paid to showcase it?
