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.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.

      Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?
