its about $200 AUD before shipping

looks awesome... would love one for my 32... do they make a bolt on rear difuser aswell??

the front one would also act as a fixed drip tray for me aswell :P

A diffuser would have 0 effect on a road car because you wouldn't be able to lower it enough for it to work.

Have a look at race cars; the front spoilers are less than 3cm off the ground.

does that mean Ferrari, lotus, Porsche and even the new nissan GTR had all been designed and manufactured with under body aero-pieces that have 0 effect on the road?

these ones arent to create underbody downforce, rather for leaving airflow under the car relatively undisturbed i think.

By increasing airflow speed under the car by streamlining the underbody and reducing drag, dynamic pressure will increase, static pressure will decrease, the end result should be a net downwards 'lift', it should suck the car on to the road, hell im only going off what I have read, what race teams use and my knowledge of aerodynamics.

The rear diffuser needs to allow the airflow to accelerate and rejoin the air from above the car, if that one curves upwards and you have sufficient flow coming from the front the overall effect will be like that of an upside down aerofoil

^^^ this isn't diffuser it's lower lip that attach to the bumpers.

As for finding them, try wreckers or ask nissan dealer to get one from japan for you.

cheers again.

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
