Wald kit is great - I am not the one that likes bodykits but I have to admit, its great, especially on the red GT-R. On the silver or white this would look out of place, but other colour I would say are perfectly suited for this. I especially love the diffuser - this is a "weak" looking part on the standard car IMHO.

Looks very agressive. It is interesting to see these things..but at the end of the day I think it cheapens the car, the GT-R is stunning, it looks like an expensive exotic supercar, body kits (unless factory) are a big no no in my book.

And do any of these kits enhance the aero?

there are many tasteful parts for the car, some have claimed aerodynamic properties on the track, others dont. The wald kit is a bit garish for me and is not track oriented, i dont think they claim to add any aerodynamic benefits.

it wouldn't be hard to improve on nissans rear diffuser! the rear is not a masterpiece of aerodynamic design, and it is accepted that the front splitter isnt the most aggressive design for downforce

on the other hand there are some 'proven' front and rear diffuser combinations with added benefits. unfortunately some of the really great front diffusers with brake ducting and dry carbon fibre construction are frightfully expensive. nissan had to find the right balance between acceptable styling and aerodynamic properties. otherwise we wouldn't see any mods on track set ups relative to mass produced cars

having said all that I won't be adding aftermarket kits to my car any time soon, id rather spend the money for now on tyres and brakes so I can have more fun.

Ditch the little vents on side of front bar, and get rid of the fins in the middle of the ass as well as the little pointless lights. Then you got yourself a clean mean machine :D

Although the fins *might* be acting a rear diffuser but i doubt it.

Handbrake, your are probably correct but a car can't be ALL function over form. I reckon the GT-R strikes the right balance of style and function in its standard form. Sure they could probably enhance the aero...but at the risk of looking like a retina searing drift car

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
