You should make a fiberglass version for the show cars and a CF version for the go cars.

You will probably sell twice as many of the fiberglass units.

id be interested! maybe you guys can come up with a rendering of what it might look like...

corner3garage 12-06-2010 06:41 PM

will work on it asap!

I hope it doesn't look too extreme i.e. extending far in front of the front bumper, but I know functionality might dictate otherwise.

I'm in for a rear diffuser that fits the nismo. At least a CF cover for the stock one lol. If u build it they will come.. :D

I'm glad you're doing this. I'm all set for splitter and rear diffuser, as I've gone the 1-off route... wasn't patient enough to wait for someone to create a true functional set... here's some design inspiration for the rear diffuser

FYI - early testing on this diffuser seems to indicate that I'm not picking up much if any downforce. Will do some data-logging on it soon... But without supporting aero, it's not producing much benefit. Just something to think about...

I have a functional front splitter as well that is held up by a custom sub-frame and 4 quick release latches + 2 struts. That works pretty well for me and the struts are probably redundant even with the ~5in lip at track speeds.

that rear diffuser is mean a$$ hell.

thanks. overkill for street car, but perhaps it can be dialed back a notch and used by the OP as design inspiration if people like it

Here another idea for diffuser!

The goal was to make it functional for track duty only and sized for this car - the fact that it came out looking big and beautiful was a bonus, lol :tup:

It will of course 'look smaller' once I have it powder coated in flat black
