Are R34 Gt-r Rear Carbon Diffusers Actually Made Out Of Carbon Fibre?

The answer is, yes AND no.

I saw a genuine disintegrated rear CF diffuser off a 2002 V Spec II N1 (yes that's right, a real N1) and guess what, it's made out of a thick layer of dry carbon fibre on the outside, and some tye of alloy in the centre. Im guessing it's probably aluminium anyway as the diffuser is quite light.

So there you go. I thought they were supposed to be 100% dry carbon fibre but the fact is, they're not.

I will take a pic next time i see that car.

I honestly doubt they would make 2 differnt types of diffusers for our cars, Especially the fact this was an N1 car. If they did make 2 types, I would have thought they would put a 100% cf one on an N1.

And also, how would you know yours is 100% cf when you cant see right through it?

looked inside and it looks uniform in structure all the way through

I thought I told you to stay out of my garage, Eugene!!

It sounds fairly unusual to have a layer of metal in-between, mainly because it would be so hard to bond it. Maybe it's some kind of bonding agent that's a similar colour??

I went and checked mine and it's definitely all CF, but I'm pretty sure mine's a Nismo one.

You may want to avoid showing the rest of the car, though :P If it's the one I'm thinking of...

I cant show the car as it's not for me to display, so I will respect the owner for it. Car is for sale though but it's most likely that it's sold already.

      Left & Right Window Regulators for 2013 Skyline V36 Coupe

      Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?

      Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.

      Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.

      Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
