Hey Guys,

Just wondering if you have in the past had a section dedicated to aerodynamic discussions? i understand that it would be a section that may have alot of arguments but for some of us hopefully we can get some usefull information.

Just a thought as im looking for aero info currently and beside the search tab theres no way of scrolling through.

Cheers

Bit of everything just getting into learning about it. Read quite a bit and applying slowly to my car (my build in motorsport section)

I like the top level stuff and also bang for buck stuff the average punter can do... but done correctly... not just slap together to look good

sounds like were in the same boat. ive just been reading about rear diffusers etc. trying to findout/workout angle of attack to start from and its looking like im going to start at about 12* and going to be doing a full flat floor prior to the diffuser.

yeop same spot

i'll be making a rear diffuser and thinking about going flat floor etc but how, how high, whether flat floor without side skirts linked to it is worth it or have to go full enclosed, materials used and weight of that material vs cost etc are all relevant and good for discussion

Im prob using ally honeycombe core composite for above 1.5kg / m2 so light and strong

maybe start a thread in Motorsport section and go from there ???

Unfortunatley after having a read if you dont have clean air in the diffuser you wont want to go out the relm of 5-7* they say for an average flat floor around 10* and a good floor upto 15* but obviously it all depends on situation. Hence why im going with 12 and ill have a play with some wool tufts and the go pro and see if i can get abit more out of it without upsetting the balance too much.

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.

      You would need to paint your hardtop again though

      I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
