That last FC is ******* amazing Hypertek... and I don't think I'll be eating GT-R's for breakfast. That's stretching the capabilities of my TII just a bit. lol.

Suspension/Handling mods:
-Bilstein coilovers
-Cusco camber plates/pillow-ball mounts
-BF Goodrich G-force sports 235/40/17 & 255/40/17
-Hawk HPS pads all around
-Strut tower bar

Still could use some work but it's such a blast to drive now. I'd eventually like to have some Tein Flex coilovers, Hawk HP+ pads, stainless lines, RB sway bars front & rear, and so on. But that kind of cash would see it's way into my engine bay before under my car.

I know it'd be kind of contradicting myself just there but I've always wanted a diffuser and I think I have my car looking to where it's at now where it wouldn't be out of place by much. With the wheels/suspension, and overall stance I think it'll compliment the car quite nicely on the rear end.

I also want proof of the Re-amemiya rear diffuser having wind tunnel testing.

A front peice like the pictures above would be hidden and it would also help with downforce and increase aero under the car.

I would staqrt with the front since it wont mess with the look of the car

Nah... Thanks for the offer but you want WAYYY too much for what I'm willing to pay for 20 year old pieces of aero. My buddy here in SC is bringing up a complete set for me and they are in PERFECT condition.

not always true.


all you really need is a front lip, good wheels, nice stance, and exhaust and the diffuser will look good..

Diffusers need dual exhausts.

That's fine for an FD, but I think FC need duals. Look at the red vert, I don't like verts but I think that looks awesome.

well thats something that is debatable lol..

yea, the red vert is awesome.. Duals are cool, but for me its single or nothing... and theres a few local guys here in socal with single tip exhaust set up's with diffusers, and they look great...

that to me is just a preference.



but back to subject..


GET THE DIFFUSER!!!!!
