Andrew: Go away.... We can't have COMPLETELY identical cars!!!!! :laugh:

Chris: Sure........... you can sit on the floorpan and grab hold of the roll cage if you want :ninja: Passenger seat will come sometime in the future.

Fatz: I'm more than willing to sell you the turbos buddy... But I'm not the one holding up the sale :kiss:

Well....let me drive then. :ninja:

Im sure we can steal a seat rail from another 32 GTR, and can take out my sparco and put it in...nah, too hard basket, just let me drive, I'll show you the lines......wrong lines haha :laugh:

Thanks for all the PMs regarding this... The more people we can get on board, the cheaper it will be to manufacture! :P

Just FYI, we're looking at a cost of around $700 for the diffuser made in durable, thick carbon kevlar.

Final price to be confirmed.

If you are going to the expense of making them, i suggest you revisit the design of the one you have....lol textbooks say that it can be improved pretty easily :P

Come on Troy... Give up the goods! What would you suggest that we do to make it better?

Most front under trays that I've seen tend to be primarily FLAT, with a few NACA ducts if you need cooling for specific components. It's the REAR diffuser and wings that have all the tricky aero and fluid dynamics smarts...

Most of the expense in making carbon goodies is the making of the prototype, and then the making of the mould. We can most certainly try and make it better, but it will be reflected in the final cost.

I dont think all these generic diffusers will work with my car, as i dont have the standard lip :( where all these seem to attach to.

looks like i will have to make a splitter like the one above..

what is the difference with a diffuser and splitter??

well these are just undertrays. a front splitter acutally gives some aero affect in extending the leading edge of the front lip.

have a look at what johnny's doing merlin.

and funky, that one is awesome but may be a little too extreme! I was thinking 2-3inch extension or there abouts.

well these are just undertrays. a front splitter acutally gives some aero affect in extending the leading edge of the front lip.

Ahh yer, well the front lip i have on now extends out about 2 inch more than the standard item. add another 2in with alloy sheet and you got a serious ankle cutter on your hands!

:)

Alright, alright... something more like this perhaps?

This car has had a fair bit of aero work done, with some decent photos. Let me know if you want to see them for some inspiration.

yeah. now we're talking. :D

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
