sorry for shit pics but say if the big block was the front bar

the lil thing that sicks on to the front bar to incrase the aerodynamics in the front.

like the stuff they put on the race cars for downforce

are they legal??? i wouldnt mind some..

id imagine cops would love them, as they'd cut your ankle up pretty bad if you brushed past them....let alone get hit by one. they'd be classed as a protrusion.

garage 13 might have some.

cheers

if youre going to DIY do it properly, those DIY ones look like they'd cut ur leg up if they brushed you.

theyre pretty easy to make good curved ones yourself using dry layup CF

get some card,

cut it to shape,

lay some fiberglass mat

resin

carbon twill matt

resin

and a gel coat

sand and polish

I have some for my 32GTR. not carbon though, aluminium. look pretty cool, but totaly illegal as they are a great pedestrian hazard. also a pain in the arse as they stick out they would be quite easy to hit gutters etc. they do look nice though.

they were on the car, but have now been removed. plus I just had my front bar re-sprayed so the mounting holes have now been filled so I probably wont be putting them back on for a while (if ever). the look just like pretty much any other set of carnards.

I have tried this but it doesn't look as good...

seriously though. they are a bitch for any normal driving (parking etc) as the become the front most and widest point of your car and you can't see them... do a nice job of scratching up someone elses car, or get smashed off on a pole in a car park, or have someone f**k their leg on it an sue you. yeah they create a certain look, but they are best left to track only.

Would you be interested in selling them...what are they worth to you?, plain old curiosity has me wanting to try some to see if i notice any mor emid corner/front end grip:)

    • Welcome!  How long have you had it? And what colour is it?
    • "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about  
    • Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .
    • Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?
    • Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
