This is probably the best answer in combination with the battle aero hardware, so I don't have to develop my own, and forming my own air dam. I think the V1 Nismo bumper would probably serve the best aero purpose down the road, in combination with a small dam at the front of the lip lift.



Do you know what thickness the panel you got was and how much it weighed when you cut it to shape?



From looking at the V2 Nismo I can't tell if it has a flat bottom, nor how the air would actually travel on it, so it might be worse off than just the plain sport or V1 Nismo..?







Seems they want 485 for just the splitter, and it does look like a quality piece. They don't provide any hardware for that price though .

Pretty much all the companies I am familiar with don't provide any mounting hardware because everyone has different needs. My first couple of splitters made by Next Level Performance and I had to cut it, drill holes and mounted it similar to what Rusty did. I believe Next LeveL still make their Nismo version one splitter. Also Carbon Signal makes a version one Nismo splitter.

Good luck in making your decision as there are numerous options including just getting one custome made.

I was really trying to avoid having to shave the bottom of the sport gen 2 bumper and having to make an air dam, but it seems unavoidable unless moving to the nismo v1 bumper with a small dam at the front lip (or somehow bending it out).

I have been through three Nismo bumpers and on my fourth splitter. Them damn splitters tear chit up. Curbs are the devil and must be avoided at all cost!

It's a track only car and I can definitely tell when the front end is getting light while the rear is planted. My local track has a straight that has a small hill crest and kink about 80% of the way down. At 125mph and the rear wing dragging the car back (my gti could hit 131 mph at the same point), the front end gets pretty light and twitchy. The GTI was the opposite, the rear would get light and twitchy and that's a lot more sketchy since turn 1 is typically 75 mph +.

I was mostly focused on spring rates for coil overs with a big wang and a 5" front front splitter. I haven't driven the Z in almost two years so it is going to be fun! Hopefully she will be track ready in the next couple of months.
