The little chin spoilers?

xTIMMYxCOREx · 09-12-2011, 04:38 PM

I think that is what they are called. But in front of each of the front tires is a small fin. What are they called? And how can I replace one that broke off? ANy ideas?

You can replace it by unbolting it and installing a new one. You can get it at your Nissan parts dept.

i think they're call diffusers, but not sure.

buy a new one from here. it's only held on by 3 screws, easy to replace.

Which side do you need? I've got one that I'll give you if it's the one you need.

same here, had to take both those + the chin spoiler off once i lowered my z. if you're willing to wait and drive, i can give you one at the next so-cal monthly meet.

I got mine too if you want. They're called air guards / blast guard - it protects the wheel from turbulence and oncoming debris towards the tires.

Just checked. The one that I have is the right side (passenger).

LMK if you want it. Just taking up space in my "extra Z parts" drawer.

look at all these generous members here.

Going back to my original post, i think they are called 'deflectors' its there to deflect air so to reduce tire tread wind drag and turbulence.
