We did some wool tuff testing at Wakefield. Just to get an understanding of what the air is doing behind the car.

It's on some serious drugs. The wool between the bar and the body work was being sucked into the gap.

Finished off the wing end plates with some paint.

Expander foam worked. Still needs a sand and body filler.

Running out of time for Winton on the 3rd, so 12mm plywood slitter will have to do.

The splitter still needs all the mounts fabed up and the air dam fitted,

Just out of 2mm alloy sheet. I'm unsure of the grade. They weigh 340g ea. Rigid enough.

They are pretty big (though not as big as the doors, they are the same ones from the previous page). Who knows if they provide any benefit, until we get them on. We're going to make up some smaller more convention ones as well, just to see what the difference maybe.

There is a theory that lowering the profile of the end plate after the gurney will increase it's effect.

Yep, those holes produce a huge amount of drag and screw up the front splitter.

Front turn in and more so grip through higher speed corners is far more pronounced. It's spooky science shit, but it does work.

That's interesting about blocking up the holes, I actually cut holes in my bar in those spots and meshed it, one side to feed the air intake and one side to feed the oil cooler.

Will be interesting to see how my car reacts now with the splitter on.

Car looks good mate. Another fellow r33 peddler.

If your splitter works well you may need to jack your wing up higher to get into some clean air flow so it can balance out the front. It looks a little low there. Usually flush with the roof line is a good height to guarantee unmolested airflow. It made a huge difference to our car when we did it.

Yeh limited by class rules to the level of the roof line. That photo is deceptive, the end plate are level with the roof.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
