If your looking for downforce as a functional aero kit the Nismo (not s-tune) is the best option.
Here is how I plan my setup: Nismo front bumper --Center duct for Intake (installed) --Brake Ducts (installed) --Front Splitter (Still in development) --Dive Planes "canards" (still in development) Nismo sideskirts: They reduce lift as they protude and eliminate some air from flowing under the car. --Side blades (In development) Rear bumper: --Cut and modified for custom exhaust and diffuser. Rear Diffuser: I have a custom Difflow GTR diffuser modified to fit the nismo. Rear Wing: The Nismo rear wing does a good job however I would put my faith in the APR GTC 500 with a gurney flap. This will be taller and get into more clean air allowing for more efficient down force... and its adjustable... Lastly, Under body panels: I am working on developing a nice set that will work with side skirts and be efficient. Pairing this with my rear diffuser will do alot to reduce lift and increase downforce...

That's exactly what I'm after - except I like the look of 2015 nismo rear - did you build the rear stuff I will absolutely buy a 2015 rear bumper with that diffuser - and I agree 100% for under body stuff only thing I've found so far is a Zspeed front only aluminum thing - are you going to be selling under body flats when you make them. |

I will say this: Most aftermarket companies build these for style... including my Zele kit. Their is a reason all of the race teams run the Nismo bumpers... because it has the lowest Drag coefficient while still maintaining positive downforce.
Most if not all aftermarket bumpers are untested... Please see below for race proven bumpers: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

You might want to check out DJTODD's build thread, just like bullitt5897 he has done a lot of research and development on using the Nismo body kit as his build platform.
