Nonetheless, still good to see that someone is working on the V1 nismo diffuser and front splitter. Most aero or cosmetic parts I have seen were for V2 nismo or sport bumpers so i'm stoked.

I'm going to fabricate a V1 nismo specific splitter from 3/8" or 1/2" birch plywood to integrate with the Zspeed undertray and battleaero splitter bracket I have. The goal is to make it relatively easy to remove for serviceability and get rid of the black lip plastic. This will be an interesting project to make my car competitive towards Nasa TT3. Hope to post of my progress soon.

It will also be very interesting to see this one since it does not use the zspeed. hope I see some more photos of how it's mounting and where the mounting points are.

Edit: Also, it is very rare to do wind tunnel testing or wind testing as it's expensive. Splitters are usually designed with few key principles in mind, but generally can be very effective without doing wind testing. Drivers would generally test drive on track to find a balance of under/oversteer at speed and try to create the balance of wing AOA/rake. sometimes adjustment of front splitter is not possible, but as long as its not pointing upwards to create lift they usually work fine
