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.

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?

    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
    • It sounds farrrrrrr too cold at your place Duncan... Here I was thinking our 10 degrees overnight is getting cold...
