So to bring the thread back to life, i sent the car down to speedfab.com.au in smithfield for some custom fabrication work.

The rear diffuser is about 80% complete with the transmission cooler mounted :

Thats great!

Did they make up templates so they can fab up a few more of those diffusers?

I've been considering something like this to allow a second rear mount radiator to be run, so I can keep engine temps at 80 degrees regardless of how exuberant I might be driving...

yea they had templates but only rough ones. most of it was custom made as they went. but u can send them an email and they'll hook u up.

how much does it weigh compared to a factory carbon one?

it weighs about 2kg's heavier than the factory carbon one

=)

Rob and Anthony do top work, had my car there when your car was there.

I had to stay for an extra 5 mins while Rob was moving your car outside, sounds mental as always ;)

your car was the white r33? if it is, it looks very clean.

=)

Wow, that's incredibly impressive work.

This thread is never a dull read :thumbsup:

=)

use to see this around my area all the time, it sounds even more angry in person lol

=)

looking choice as anthony.

what did u do with the oem diffuser?

i'm putting it away in storage

=)

looks sweet as

=)

Will you be at powercruise coming up 3rd march ! ?

I hope you are again , this car MADE powercruise last year.

yes, i have a garage again this year

=)

Was there reasoning behind why they didnt run the diffuser all the way to the side, rear spats that are beind the wheels. Amazing fabrication...some goods craftsman out there!

to use the factory mounting points

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
