I love the vents. Very original and unique. You have the biggest cajunas I've ever seen. I would be too scared to do that to my Z

Looks like I missed some serious fun on Mod-day Tuesday. :bowrofl:

Looks good. I've always loved what Chris Forsberg did with his rear fenders on his Z.

Took my wing off yesterday and sold it.

I won't bash on the company since they are still small and in development. I know there isn't any data behind their wing design and I already saw stress cracking.. So I'll leave it at that. I would say I was the guinea pig..

Hoping to get an APR Gtc-300 wing before Zdayz May 18th but we will see about that. I don't have any dinero right now as I just ordered an Akebono kit and need new tires...

So today started building the splitter. The design is done and already started working on the chassis mounting. Don't have any time to finish that today so I will begin to fiberglass it tonight and maybe even install it tomorrow. We will see. It extends all the way under the under the oil pan. I have to cut the bumper a little bit on the underside to fit it.

Daaamn! sorry to hear about your GT Wing bro :( and the splitter are going to look amazing :tup:

///maestro 04-20-2016 12:15 PM

this is REEEEEALLY making me want to go out and make one out of sheet metal

DatsunFTW 04-20-2016 12:19 PM

I ended up doing foam core fiberglass. I don't have enough carbon to do it that way unfortunately

Very nice :tup:

I am also making a splitter/skid plate for my Nismo front just less aggressive. I am using a piece of lexan plastic though (safety shield plexiglass basically) very flexible and will not break or shatter :excited:

Also love your new front fender vents :tiphat:

Hey Thomas, I was actually speaking with them in the development of the Force 2 XL in Carbon Fiber. Could you PM me more info on what defects it had ? :ugh2:

Have you thought about using sheet metal for the front splitter? I was thinking of going down that route.
