Good deal on Fujimura rear diffuser.
I just wanted to share with all that I finally decided that if you want to get the rear diffuser, you've gotta go with the Fujimura vs. the Evo-R. I didn't want to have to worry about fitment issues, and I've been in the forum long enough to know the large majority of Evo-R diffusers, covers, etc. have fitment issues. So I found my CF Fujimura diffuser at FUJIMURA AUTO Rocket Dancer Aero - Rear Under Diffuser Carbon Fairlady Z Z34 - RHDJapan for $350. I know this is more than the Evo-R, but worth every penny when I dry fit it on my Z. It fit immaculately. The best part was that from the day I ordered it, to the day I received it was only 12 days. Not bad. All in all, I paid $438 and had it on the car in two weeks with a perfect fit. Decide for yourself, but that's my two cents.

Just curious, how is it held on? The base rear is sooo boring and looks dumb with the Nismo tips in my opinion.

Install wise, 4 or 5 black screws along the bottom, I bought the high bond double sided tape not risking using what was included with the diffuser, been about a year and still on there solid.

the kit comes with a few nuts and bolts. one of the nuts and bolt is larger than the rest, so use that for the one that goes next to the butt plug/foglamp.
i recommend u use loctite blue (or red if you want permanent) on these bolts so that you dont over torque and crack the cf.. lol |

the screws go on the bottom to prevent air from catching the diffuser at speed. you'll want to use the vhb i mentioned and the screws that come with the kit. |

A word to the wise about mounting after-market items, especially carbon fiber elements: as popular as these are, and as fast as they sell on this forum, I'd only mount things such as the rear diffuser or fangs with mounting tape and/or bolts so you can always take them off later and still get some investment back. A body shop guy told me to mount with 3M panel bonding, but I decided this makes whatever you're putting on very permanent. That's my four cents for the day.
