Hi Everyone. :action-smiley-069:

Just wondering if their is any interest for Custom Aluminium rear diffusers for r34 GTRs.

I've gone through the whole process as im sure many of you have.

I have looked everywhere yahoo auction on SAU and can find any OEM rear Diffusers they're either to expensive 2k+ or they have been scooped up by a lucky member that was first in line.

So ive decided to make my own Rear diffuser out of aluminium. The Material thickness will be 2.5mm thick and the plastic fins will also re-made and replaced as alunium units.

The whole unit will be laser cut and hopefully be the same weight as the OEM one. Ive done away with the centre scoop as the wing provides enough down force and im hoping to achieve better air flow under the vehicle.

Ill be posting pics in a few days of the final Result :no:

The first Concept one will obviously be alot more expensive because of the labour involved and all the CAD design but the Suppliers have Quoted around the $900.00 mark new including fins.Terry the Diffuser on my Gtr is cracked and that why i would like to get rid of it the plasic fins and Discolouring of the Carbon fibre Clear Coat isn't esthetically pleasing to me. Think brushed aluminium Would Suit!

Im keen to see your results for this. I created an autocad drawing a couple of months ago to do just this, after seeing what was done on the powertune GTRB28 car.

I took a little inspration from the ARC ones as well to make it a little more racey looking. Should be interesting to see what yours turns out like.

Sorry to hijack the thread....

I received my new diffuser on Friday - pics below, cost me in total $2,100.00. The item itself was $1,200.00 and customs crap / GST etc was $881.00!!! Took just over 6 weeks from order to pickup. Dealing with shipping companies was a major pain in the ass!

Anthony - fit was spot on, to the millimetre. I think it's a little thinner than the OEM one though, I'll check it against someone elses when we catch up next. But overall very happy.

Greatly appreciated mate.

Ps your car looks great, mnp is the color I wanted ha

Looks exactly the same as on my 1st R34 GTR

Yes the C/F is a fraction thinner - but not at all flimsy.

Peter of Bodyformaero had the diff bracket made up for me, because the kit didn't include that.

Making a front to back verson for gtt in carbon with quick release fasteners around parts that need serviced and jack points

and kevlar in strike points in front and rear so they wont crack , tested with ballpeen hammer not even a spiderweb on the clear

And of course vents for things that need it

and some other carbon kevlar goodness

Just saying

Different subframe on the gtt, so they apparently don't fit straight up. I'm not sure what modifications would need to be done to fit.

Mine is currently off my car if you want to check

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
