CarbonSignal Nismo Treat

One trick to test the functionality of a rear diffuser is to wait for a day with heavy rain and have a friend drive your car and you follow in another vehicle. As you follow, take a look at other cars on the road and notice how rain is being dispersed behind them (better yet, have another 370Z without a diffuser drive along side of the 370Z with a diffuser). You will see most cars on the road have sprays emitting from the front and rear wheel wells (not very efficient). Also take a look at how rain flows from the rear of the cars.

A functional diffuser will create a substantial rooster tail and should completely eliminate rain escaping from the rear wheel wells. My diffuser creates such a rooster tail that most cars cannot drive behind me in the rain

I created it out of aluminum flashing, aluminum plate, fiberglass and lots of pop rivets.

Nice! I thought about making one myself but i have no engineering back round and i could probably make one that looks cool just not function very well. Good stuff.

I bet no one else knows why the hell your car sprays water up like a jetski. Probably thinks you're an *******. But we know.....you're a badass. It's easily the most functional looking diffuser I've seen on a 370Z.

Do you have issues with curbs and slopes with that?

Sorry to jack your thread CarbonSignal. This is my last post in this thread. I promise.

And yes, I need to be very careful around curbs and slopes.
