its about $200 AUD before shipping

looks awesome... would love one for my 32... do they make a bolt on rear difuser aswell??

the front one would also act as a fixed drip tray for me aswell :P

A diffuser would have 0 effect on a road car because you wouldn't be able to lower it enough for it to work.

Have a look at race cars; the front spoilers are less than 3cm off the ground.

does that mean Ferrari, lotus, Porsche and even the new nissan GTR had all been designed and manufactured with under body aero-pieces that have 0 effect on the road?

these ones arent to create underbody downforce, rather for leaving airflow under the car relatively undisturbed i think.

By increasing airflow speed under the car by streamlining the underbody and reducing drag, dynamic pressure will increase, static pressure will decrease, the end result should be a net downwards 'lift', it should suck the car on to the road, hell im only going off what I have read, what race teams use and my knowledge of aerodynamics.

The rear diffuser needs to allow the airflow to accelerate and rejoin the air from above the car, if that one curves upwards and you have sufficient flow coming from the front the overall effect will be like that of an upside down aerofoil

^^^ this isn't diffuser it's lower lip that attach to the bumpers.

As for finding them, try wreckers or ask nissan dealer to get one from japan for you.

thanks mate, just about every site called them somethin different (front spoiler, splitter, diffuser, lip) whatever they wanna call it!! have been sittin on the net all night tryna find one and no luck.....

cheers again.

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 馃槂
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
