Someone Want To Tell Me About These Ducts...

[gtr_z]

I have a pair for sale if anyone is interested.

[Bumblebee]

ive got one on my GTR R32.. its a standard GTR item and they duct to the brakes. all pretty standard stuff

[T04GTR]

yes they are standard items. the larger opening in the bumper does nothing. (well not from factory anyway)

[bloodzkull]

yeah mine has them. was looking at them the other day. thinking i might try and make some up that duct straight to the brakes a bt better.

Sorry to dig up an old thread.

The pic above, will that be enough to provide decent cooling using the factory ducts and the deflectors mounted to the lower arms?

I've got the front bumper off my R32 GT-R at the moment, doing some mods and was wondering whether anyone cuts through the inner guard to provide more airflow into the wheel well using the two horizontal slots that are either side of the main intake opening on the front bumper?

I'm sure I've seen at least one fast R33 GT-R at the track use this method (used plastic mesh similar to what you put over a gutter to keep leaves out etc to go over the hole).

I've attached a pic showing where I am talking about. I tried searching the forum but found minimal info about this type of thing. I'm presuming no one really does it because it's not worth it?

The std Nissan duct goes under the front tray, so airflow then catches on the castor rod. Give me two weeks i think i will have a good solution for you

Thanks mate, I've got the undertray ducts and have recently ordered deflectors for the arms. Looking forward to your solution!

Did you order Nissan deflectors or the ones from Unique Autosports?

It shouldn't be too hard to bash something together with aluminium plate & strap it onto the castor rod/LCA?

I cannot for the life of me remember if these ones are stock or aftermarket. The appear to have a couple of holes to use where the castor rod meets the LCA.

I agree, however I took the lazy approach and ordered the ones from Unique Autosports.

Wow this thread is old! since then I've bought a set of the genuine nissan caster rod reflectors, because I am limited to standard parts.

The ones that UAS make and similar are cheaper and better than the nissan ones.

How well did they fit up & are they ok with aftermarket castor rods?

Yeah sorry for that, it was either make a new thread or continue on with something that was kind of related to what I was after

DJR81, I haven't received them yet, will take pics and post them up once they arrive and are fitted.

absolutely no problems, I love when someone searches and looks at what was said before instead of starting from scratch every time.

It was actually from this thread years ago that I found out that the caster rod deflectors are standard (n1) and so they are legal for me to run on the race car. I ordered them about a year ago out of japan (very hard to find and possibly nil stock with nissan now) and put them on. Can't really tell if they made a difference as I changed multiple things at the same time.

But locally made ones are larger and cheaper anyway.

the ones you pictured are the nismo ones for R32 GTR. they were fibreglass or FRP maybe, and were about triple the size of the stock ones. the stock R32 ones were rubber and are in that parts diagram posted above. I think the stock castor rod deflector ones were only on nismo 32s, v specs and v spec IIs, and N1s. but all cars had the ducts under the bar that bolt to the front lip holes.
