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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
