Any pics of this? I can't think of what goes above the grill and on the bonet.

:confused:

err, i'm a little confused. Are there more bits to the splitter under the bonnet to direct air around or is that it?

I haven't seen one before but I'm guessing that it has a practical use. If its for show, just reply with the word "rice". :)

Its simple aero dynamics, by increasing the angle at which the air is forced over the bonnet, a temporary vaccumn (assuming the only airflow into the area is created by air moving from in front of the car into the car) is created on top of the bonnet in front of the windshield.

This is the theory behind the bug shield... by putting that little lip on the bonnet you divert airflow OVER the windshield instead of straight onto, and therefore pushing any bugs that are flying towards you over the windshield instead of straight into you.

It also looks cool, coz it looks like a stock GTR.

im dazed and a little confuzzled now :)

which parts are we getting done now???

-Front Lip

-Bonnet Splitter

-GTR Guards

-GTR Front Bar

-Rear boot lip

what else? :)

Put me down for the rear lip and front lip... and any side skirts that may be done too :D

****edit

oh yeah and...

how much for the GTR Front Guards?

Wow, hadn't noticed that splitter on r32s before. Had a look around and here are pics of them on GTRs:

Looks like R33s GTRs don't have them stock:

But some race GTRs use them:

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
