Hi guys, I'm trying to figure out some potential aero improvements for the 4door and keen for some input.


The goal would be to have more downforce to improve high speed stability. The one time I've been at the track in the car it didn't exactly feel planted doing 199km/h up the back straight at Sandown.


Would a rear undertray/diffuser help with this? There's a massive cavity under the boot area in the R34 sedan - is there anything similar to the GT-R undertray available for it?

With the front of the car, this URAS bar looks very trick, however I wonder if it makes any actual difference?

I'm currently running Origin rear window and boot lip spoilers but they probably don't do much. Would a bigger drag style wing help with downforce?

Any other tips are welcome too!

Yes that's an option, have you tried that? It'd be great to hear experiences on what difference it makes.

quite a few build on hardtuned that are dedicated track cars. some have seen great results with info on what part of wakefield it had the most effect.

maybe the top secret style rear diffusers for the coupes will work on the Sedan?

I'm pretty sure the under boot area is slightly different dimensions in the sedan compared to the coupe but perhaps with some modifications. I'll need to get the tape measure out.

Cool thanks I'll see if I can find the right threads!

Found some good threads on the R34 GT-R rear diffuser:

This was really interesting, sounds exactly like what I'm after:

i put one on my previous GT-T and there is an easily noticeable difference at high speeds. Cruising around, nothing, but at 80-100km/hr+ you could definitely feel the car was more stable. Even my gf sitting in the passenger seat noticed it and she a) didn't know it was on b) i hadn't even told her i put it on. Maybe it's a bigger difference to a lighter GT-T, but you could definitely tell the difference.

there are naca ducts in the standard diffusers.

as for the Z-Tune diffuser having 2.2 times more downforce..... that's relating to the front smile.png - diffusers can be front and rear. The front Z-Tune diffuser is mix of CF and magnesium... looks sex, can't buy em though unless you're a Z-Tune owner (or know one i guess) - hate to think how much they are...

Maybe I'll just start with a cardboard stencil and DIY it ... what's some decent material for this? Aluminium, what thickness?

Edit: Also found that East Bear do a 4door rear diffuser (at a ludicrous price) so they do exist: http://www.nengun.com/east-bear/rear-bumper-diffuser-r34

Need full undertray as just a rear diffuser will still allow airflow above and below rear diffuser, full undertray will prevent that

Yeah a full undertray would be better but I reckon having a rear undertray with a tight leading edge would still help.

I'm thinking something like in the GT-R rear section:

I'd love to make one out of aluminium if I had the skills (this is obviously the front):

That front undertray looks great, ive been wanting to make a full undertray ever since i install a cf rear diffuser, i cant see how a rear diffuser will do much without a full tray

Yes indeed. Just to clarify, when I'm talking about rear undertray I mean the whole rear section, not just the diffuser. I agree a diffuser by itself probably won't do much.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
