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

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
