Merli's R32 Track Bitch

[evil_weevil]

Andrew, I think one of the conditions of the OP SAU NSW day is to take the VP for a ride.

[fatz]

sell me your turbos and ill grab a under tray

lol

disco!

[Merli]

Andrew: Go away.... We can't have COMPLETELY identical cars!!!!!

Chris: Sure........... you can sit on the floorpan and grab hold of the roll cage if you want Passenger seat will come sometime in the future.

Fatz: I'm more than willing to sell you the turbos buddy... But I'm not the one holding up the sale

[evil_weevil]

Well....let me drive then.

Im sure we can steal a seat rail from another 32 GTR, and can take out my sparco and put it in...nah, too hard basket, just let me drive, I'll show you the lines......wrong lines haha

[sav man]

how much does it cost to get stuff made in carbon kevlar?

[Merli]

Thanks for all the PMs regarding this... The more people we can get on board, the cheaper it will be to manufacture!

Just FYI, we're looking at a cost of around $700 for the diffuser made in durable, thick carbon kevlar.

Final price to be confirmed.

If you are going to the expense of making them, i suggest you revisit the design of the one you have....lol textbooks say that it can be improved pretty easily

Come on Troy... Give up the goods! What would you suggest that we do to make it better?

Most front under trays that I've seen tend to be primarily FLAT, with a few NACA ducts if you need cooling for specific components. It's the REAR diffuser and wings that have all the tricky aero and fluid dynamics smarts...

Most of the expense in making carbon goodies is the making of the prototype, and then the making of the mould. We can most certainly try and make it better, but it will be reflected in the final cost.

Haha mines blue, they wont be too alike but thats about the only difference..

[Beer Baron]

one suggestion I would have is making it a combo splitter/undertray. the splitter is very important.

[Merli]

pics or ban!

You need a big, dirty splitter like this:

[Merli]

Well I suppose I *AM* log booking the car as a sports sedan, so I have quite a bit of design freedom with the front splitter

[Angus Smart]

I dont think all these generic diffusers will work with my car, as i dont have the standard lip where all these seem to attach to.

looks like i will have to make a splitter like the one above..

what is the difference with a diffuser and splitter??

[Beer Baron]

well these are just undertrays. a front splitter acutally gives some aero affect in extending the leading edge of the front lip.

have a look at what johnny's doing merlin.

and funky, that one is awesome but may be a little too extreme! I was thinking 2-3inch extension or there abouts.

[phunky_monkey]

Alright, alright... something more like this perhaps?

This car has had a fair bit of aero work done, with some decent photos. Let me know if you want to see them for some inspiration.

Ahh yer, well the front lip i have on now extends out about 2 inch more than the standard item. add another 2in with alloy sheet and you got a serious ankle cutter on your hands!
