It is time for my comeback... 2000-2500lb cornerweighed 3/S and 1000hp motor

V open face front. The original idea is provide a more direct loadpath diaginally from suspension to suspension while increasing headroom. X style usually ends up with a bar right next to your noggin. Ive nailed my head on a bar, and even with a helmet itll ring your bell. Its usually paired with a reverse v in the downbar area instead of x. Makes it a semi-node cage. I can draw you a quick diagram if needed.

Yes, please do! I did some digging and found this design. Looks very close to what I'm after.

i can't find any picture of the diffuser i saw on a r32 GTR but i saw on speed chanel that they were working on r32 gtr time attack car and there was a bumper made for that car the required cutting the bottom of the trunk to make it fit since it was since it was so high. not this but something similar to this. do you think this is possible and worth doing on a 3/s?

Yes, it is.




I have no doubt that something like this will be deployed on Jer's car as well.

Looks great man! Keep on, keeping on. The racing season is just around the corner. (I have to get my ass in gear as well, so much to do)

Nice, Erron! I freaking love your car.

Good luck with your project, J.

Damn Erron. that's a nice diffuse. did you make it yourself? are you selling any of them?

[green-lantern]

That looks like one of the most effective diffusers I've seen on a 3s Erron. Other than removing part of the rear bumper was there anything else you had to remove/modify?

[Erron Spalsbury]

Thank you, gentlemen.

The rear bumper is tube now, not sure what you'd have to cut on a stock bumper, probably quite a bit but I'm not sure. The plastic bumper I cut almost up to the license plate.

The first pic you can see where it attaches to the gas tank shield. It's a hair over 12 degrees pitch. (12.32 measured) It's on the high side really, I hope it doesn't stall. I haven't tested it yet on the track only side roads with no real data what so ever, only speed tested for durability. That will come soon enough. It is adjustable down to 7 degrees. There are four 1/4" steel adjustable rods that it is fastened to. It's built from aluminum, Alumicor and the core is filled. It's coated with off the shelf rattle can truck bed liner.


That's the only one, I don't plan on building another one except for Jers' car.

Sorry Jer, don't mean to high-jack your thread!

Edit: Total cost, about $70 in parts. I'd estimate 10 hours to build it, but there was lots of staring at it with beverage in hand.

That seems to take up most of my time on projects as well

Our bad on that, I don't think he will mind too much. Your advice in my low time was worth a mint.

I'd have to add a bit more to my build if I added "beer in hand time". Damn if I/we didn't catch problems that way though.
