abflug is definitely nicer. Much better fitment.

PMR33, how low is it sitting to the ground? Would be close to legal/illegal. Would be the only problem.

PSI, price on that one?

It is pretty low to the ground. My car itself is below legal height without the diffuser lol.

  • 3 months later...

No noises what so ever. I made a few additional brackets for it so it doesn't move what so ever. One of the guys here in Townsville got one a few months back for his GTR. He mounted it dodgy as hell (he's pretty dodgy with anything to do with cars though), the whole thing moved side to side and when I saw it for the first time with some mates I said "that thing is going to fly off". Sure enough a few weeks later, it did hahahaha.

But yeah it's fine. Doesn't move what so ever it's on there that tight. Been at plenty of high speeds with it aswell and no problems there. My car is pretty low and it doesn't hit anything at all. I've order the additional carbon vortex generators for the side of it aswell so will install them and post some pics up soon.

If you buy one from PSI Parts, hit them up for the DIY install I wrote up for them. Plenty of photos of everything I did.

Any still in stock PSI?

PM-R33 - how is it going over bumps etc? Does it fit tightly or rattle etc? Do you have any pictures of it close up? Thanks mate.

Hi,

Sorry we have currently sold out.

I will respond to your email in reagrds to shipping times.

Thanks,

Shane

If you can...

Grab an R34 GT-R Rear C/F diffuser or C/F copy for much less eg from JDM Performance here on SAU

Pics?

Get PI Magazine Issue #130 pp38-43 Article called "Mixmaster" Re R33 GT-R (midnight purple)

Brackets can be fabricated by Peter at Bodyform Aero now at Smithfield.

In that PI article Dave, it doesn't say if or how much trouble there was in fitting the R34 GT-R V-Spec rear diffuser to the R33 GT-R.

The article just says, "The exterior is completed with a cutom-fitted later generation R34 V-Spec carbon rear diffuser, a very expensive addition that costs $6000 new from Nissan!"

The one I bought from Eugene at JDM Performance was a whole lot less than half that!

Peter at Bodyform willingly did make up the support brackets + the metal diff bracket for jacking purposes > fitted it exactly to my previous R34 GT-R which was not a V-Spec.

I think the Top Secret one won't match the look of my car. Does anyone sell other designs?

PSI: Thanks for your PM Shane, but I've decided to not go for the TS one - do you have any others?

Any pics of other types?

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
