Of course, I'm just kidding.

Back to the thread,
Any new info?

And for the record, I know how abrasive my first post was. It was not constructive in the least and the absurdity of this diffuser pushed me over the edge.

Zero gain. Which if you have been able to break physics and measure an amount of nothing, then sir you are correct... the gain WAS measurable!
They do look nice though!

Droid,
Your efforts to get people out to the track are valiant, on this I agree with you.
PS
Your not as much a dick as you would have everyone else here believe.
Phoenix,
Nice quip. You do realize, that your car is not the only car that has ever used a grounding kit, right? Others have dynoed and posted repeatable numbers. Maybe they were posted when you were banned Additionally, the benefit that Droid mentioned of smoothing out the idle is worth the cost alone.
Another thing that I didn't point out to Droid's original post. Because of the attention that Nissan paid to the airflow under the 350Z, especially on the aero package equipped cars (i.e. Track) a properly designed diffuser very well could show benefits at the track. I am not sure though how the add downforce at the rear would affect the turn-in on higher speed corners. The front might be a bit loose. Trial and error is the only way to find out without wind tunnels and major software. A front diffuser, ala Top Secret, would probably be a nice complement to a rear diffuser like this one. That might help the front/rear balance.

granted there is probably no benefit of adding any type of diffuser to the stock exhaust.. there is already one! all you really need to do is add to end pieces to make sure the air flow is straight and out. instead of leaking to the sides and gettting mixed up with the airflow from the rear tires.
i see no reason NOT to add one for those with the angled injen SES or dual RSR or whatever.. its just replacing what was originally there..
you can get nearly the same affect of all of this by lowering the car a little more in the front than the rear.
you dont have to be driving 200 mph for this thing to work. it will work at any speed. you just will feel lesser of the effects. what probably is more imporant is flat road surface for it to work with.

EVO-R tends to take a long time on their projects, like those LED lights. So I wouldn't expect these out anytime soon.

I have test fitted the one shown. They really look great. But it makes the rear clearance very low. I would suggest use it for show car only. I don't want to see anyone waste it by the car behind you. hehehe...

I tested the rear diffuser on a 350Z with fuhisubo exhuast on it. The diffuser was alot lower than what I expected. Only leave you 2 inch ground clearence. The center part of the diffuser is too low. Anyone put this on, will crack it on the street. But would be cool for show cars and track cars. I didn't bother take a picture, since it is too low. Maybe work better on Z with Tanabe or Invidia exhaust. Those exhaust center part is clear out. I'll try to get a car with those exhaust on. - Jay
