w34ponGT Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 hey guys ive finally found a rear diffuser and slowly slowly il refurbish it. first off id like to ask hows the best way to bring it back up to new condition? ive read about applying a lacquer on it for a gloss finish you cant cut and polish this carbon as theres no resin on it (or very little) amd also who makes plastic moulds? ill get new fins made in black plastic pics up soon a big thanks to "White gts-t" for finding it. much appreciated Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/425354-rear-diffuser-refurb/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy the fins sperate from nissan. i'll put up bolt lengths + threads when i'm back from travels if no one does it in the mean time.

vspecIInur Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 At first I thought it was carbon kevlar/aramid but as if our diffuser was made of that! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/425354-rear-diffuser-refurb/#findComment-6855991 Share on other sites More sharing options...
