What would be the best material for one to be made from do you guys think would work best? 3ish mm thick Aluminum sheet, Carbon fibre, Fibreglass or something different all together? If someone can pm me there mobile number to host a picture or 2 for me to sort of explain what I'm after that'd be awesome. As I only have Internet on the iPhone and no laptop currently.

What sort of material do you think would be best 89CAL?

Thanks Josh.

Alloy sheet for sure, itll take some bumps that way and not get damaged easily, ive been wanting to do this for a while...

I reckon one sheet will do almost back to the cat

Yeah I've been wanting to do this for a while also. What mm thivkness alloy sheet would be most suited? Needs to be strong enough to withstand flex, knocks and jolts ect. So maybe 2mm thick? I'm not really sure! How were you guys thinking of sercuring it to underneath the car? I've also heard of troubles fitting them with heavy duty swaybars eg. Whiteline 27mm adj front sway, anyone heard of this? As well as a large capacity sump. I don't currently have a big sump but will be getting one in the near future. Also how far out would be ideal for it to extrude out past the front bumper?

Once fitted and done properly what are the main gains to be had from the splitter undertray? Just give better stability and helps remove the air caught in around the engine bay which helps with better radiator cooling ect as far as I'm aware?

Thought this thread would have got more attention.

Cheers Josh

??? Honestly thought this would have gained more interest or atleast some pictures of some different idea's. So others planning to make one can get some ideas ect. Oh well. I also thought a company would be making these.

Bringing back this old underrated thread. I am also interested in this and would appreciate any info on how to make one, what material, how to fasten it etc. I am not looking to do a complete flat bottom undertray, just a splitter similar to what Richo did here http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/428535-richos-r33-gtst/page-6

Would I need any drawing/design software or is it something that can be drawn/mocked up and cut at home with grinder etc?

Let me know what you all think

Cheers

I used cardboard sheeting to get the shape right and then used composite aluminium signboard. That stuff is more rigid than ally, and cuts easily with a circular saw. Undertray only, currently no forward projection to make it a splitter.

Pics can be found in my thread in motorsports builds.

Mounting takes a bit of creative thinking and used a few aluminium tabs and nut-serts to make it work. But it can be done by someone prepared to take the time.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
