Custom rear diffuser anybody???

[sr20drifter1]

Hey guys. I'm trying to see if there is anybody in Socal that would like to buy a custom rear diffuser. mmdb, a zilvia member, is the guy that will be making it. This is not a commercial sale. It's just that I would like him to make one for me, but he doesn't know anybody that has a s13 hatchback in his area. So if you're in Socal and you are very interested in getting a custom rear diffuser, please get in touch with mmdb or me.
Here is the picture that got me started:



This is mmdb's old car with his custom rear diffuser.


When it was removed from his car before he sold it.


I'm at work right now. Please mod move the thread if it does not belong in this here.
Thanks.

thank u, me love u long time

[mmdb]

Hey sr20drifter1 thanks for starting this thread! I've been asked to make a few diffusers months and months ago, but I never had time since I was working. Now that I'm laid off, aka living the American dream, I have time to make a few.

I have a template (thanks manonegra) to make an s14 rear diffuser, I don't have an s13 to mock up a set. If anyone has a car I could use to make a diffuser contact me!

Hey! I think you're car is going to look like mine when you're done with it (if ever ). I miss going to the track and tinkering on the car. The surf isn't good everyday and I need things to do. Starcraft 2 is getting boring! I'll probably come by next week to get measurements for the tower240's s13. Fun! Btw pick up your damn hood!

[blueshark123]

Pm me a price I have a s14 jdm rear w/valances if it matters. I remember asking you to make me one a long time ago

PM sent. I've been out of the 240 scene for a while so sorry I didn't get back to you.

yeah, keep putting off picking up the hood
but lay off, you said you'd be done with the bumper and valences in a couple of weeks... that was months ago...

boring adult life gets in the way of tinkering with the car
I'm actually going to try to get the black car ready for Buttonwillow this March
let me know when you plan to stop by

[brizzle3000]

[godrifttoday]

U can do it in my garage ... 4 car garage and plenty of work space pm me

Sure, but the difficulty is finding an s12! I'm sure someone here in OC has a 300zx that wants one. Btw, does your car have an aftermarket bumper? If so I need that particular one you're using. Otherwise, an option is for you to send me a template of the rear bumper outline and I can get one made for you that way.

I'll keep in touch! Btw, what bumper are you using now? Each diffuser has a different outline depending on the type of bumper made. I make them to fit a particular car, and I don't like the "universal" diffusers out there. Looks extremely BAD!

Ahh! He has an aftermarket rear bumper though? Well I'll come by next week to take some measurements and see how to effectively mount it.

Yeah I'm such a slacker sometimes! Sorry Surfing, girlfriend, surfing... surfing. I'll return your bumper 'n valances soon. I need to make a template :X I'll get you some hummus house! I'll be over next week and say hello to the tower crew. Can't wait till you get the car running. That'll be exciting! I'm sure you'll be blown away with the knuckles 'n coilovers.

I'm constantly looking for better solutions to build the diffuser and since I'm new to making them for other people, it's hard for me to say at the moment. But expect something reasonable. I'm not doing this as a formal way of income, just doing it for fun And since the economy sucks, and I know how cars can be addicting I'm willing to work with ya'll. Let's keep cars fun! Besides, it'd be nice to see more 240s at the track.

Stock. Exhaust cutout slightly to fit blast pipes.

EDIT: I don't necessarily want a diffuser, especially on stock aero. Just offering you a car to use for fitment since I'm close. I'd like to see how it looks on stock aero, but I doubt it'd be good. I'd just hit you up whenever I did aero.

Oh ok thanks and good to know. I have someone interested in the aero, but we'll definitely keep in touch.

I've been looking for a rear diffuser for a while.... I'm totally in...

[fyneyoungstunna]

we have a lot of Cali guys with s12's. My s12 is actually in Carlsbad right now.
we got a few in La, and others sprinkled all throught Cali.

pm me what you think a price per diffuser would be for the s12 and I can get you well on your way. Even if others don't want one, if the price is right I'll take one or two.

[mmdb]

Ok got a hold of some suppliers to send me some of their material to put together a few diffusers. I'll start out with an s14 kouki jdm and get that squared then move onto a s13 (user here is sending me valances to mock one up and have 'em made), then I can move onto the s12 depending on the demand. I'll post up finished products. LMK you're requests in the meanwhile or what you'd like to see.

[Sidewayz silvia]

You have my pm's... the s14 JDM rear bumper is what I want... thanks again

[mmdb]

Welp found my supplier(s) and got the design down. All you need to do is install it (that's where your creativity comes in). The only one available now is the s14 kouki with jdm rear valances.

As far as differences go the new improved diffusers uses:
- DiBond for the base (Aluminum Composite Material and super strong)
- Strakes size has increased and runs width of the base
- Better designed brackets

The material used it strong as heck. It probably won't withstand a straight on rear impact over 60mph, but there isn't any problem with it surviving multiple track days. I've used mine for over 2-3 years without any issues. Anyway, fun fun. LMK if you want one made. Lead time is 1-2 weeks.

Next, I'll be working on the s13 with rear valance. And maybe an s12 next. Who knows :P Starting a new job soon so I won't have all the time in the world to make these.

[sr20drifter1]

That's hot looking!!!!Thanks for the text.

[Sidewayz silvia]

Just purchased this for my s14 and can't wait to install it... thanks again mmdb, legit seller A+++++

[mmdb]

Thanks for the feedback! Post up pix when you can! With that note, I wonder if the diffuser will fit on a non-jdm rear bumper without valances. Anyone want to volunteer in the socal area?

[boyou2]

for your information, a friend of mine doing them, in FRP or CF.
