Start to a new bumper & diffuser.. Maybe.

cc370z · 06-29-2012, 10:50 AM

I would like your feed back (good & bad). I bought a used bumper and thought I would try something different and make own diffuser. I cut out part of the bumper to start out and now need ideas from members that have some knowledge about diffusers.

bigger picture cant tell at all in that one

cc370z · 06-29-2012, 11:03 AM

I'm doing this from my phone. Let me try this a different way. Is this a better picture? ImageUploadedByTapatalk1340985810.417687.jpg

iceman21_23 · 06-29-2012, 11:33 AM

yea thats a little better but all i see is that you cut the diffuser area off. but im in for final results

Looks pretty bad IMO and what's going on with those lights.

ohmikegod · 06-29-2012, 12:09 PM

What lights?

simota1 · 06-29-2012, 12:30 PM

maybe cut out the rest of the bottom bumper off... like follow the curve line that goes from end to end of the bumper....

i think that would look cleaner than the boxy cut

I removed the lights while I'm taking the bumper on and off.

I'm looking to fill in the cut out with a diffuser. I've got sheets of abs plastics (I used to have a side business making heat shields for intakes). I was going to make a diffuser from that and then have it wrapped in carbon fiber. I was hoping it could be functional.

simota1 · 06-29-2012, 01:18 PM

nice dood ^^^^ that would be bad ***!!!!

Waiz · 06-29-2012, 01:55 PM

lol at the lights question!

Looks like someone has some extra time on their hands

couple of ideas for you Chad:

I would go with trying to make something similar to this JP version:

Chargespeed style:

Nearly full undertray versions

These are some solid ideas...
Have fun with it!

Now why can't someone make this for the Z34?! That's perfect in my opinion, I would definitely buy that asap.

A fuller diffuser would be hard with your exhaust setup since your canisters are taking up a lot of the space where the undertray would go. Gotta give you props for having the balls to cut your bumper like that though.

You going to mock it up in cardboard first Chad?
