Hey all,

I'm done a fair bit of mods to my R33 GTS-T lately, and it's now time to do it up a bit from the outside... I got a full GTR bodykit with 18 inch deep dish rims, HID's blah blah... but it still looks like something is missing... I spoke to a few people amd heard of GT-R33 Front under diffusers - they look awesome and apparently add to some performance (aero dynamics).

The question is where to get them??

There's a crowd calling themselves Abflug Performance - their diffusers look mad as ... I'm willing to pay, just don't know how to purchase - do Aussie manufacturers have copies etc? Please help someone....

Yes, they have front and rear diffusers. As far as I know Top Secret and Varis have diffusers for Skylines too.

Just get an importer such as Slidewize Imports on these forums to bring some in for you.

Thanks for that... but are they're much varieties involved, how much are import costs and how do I know exactly how much they cost? Does Slidewise Imports specialise in these stuff?

You will have to pay for freight by sea, as these are too big for EMS. Then you will have to pay Slidewize their service fee on top of that. I have imported a bonnet through them before and I cant say im unhappy with the service.

I guess the logical thing to do would be to PM him (Zac) thumbsup.gif

I've just bought mine from UAS(www.uniqueautos.com.au) they have the series 3 r33 gtr front lip for $295 in fibreglass and its pretty good. It all fit fine on my car I have the same as you. GTST with full widebody conversion etc. All you have to do is prep and paint it and its ready to go. The service was amazing but it got here and better than paying $1200 for one from nissan.

That's a front lip, not a diffuser. Big difference. Also the first time you hit your fiberglass lip it will crack/shatter. Original Plasic ones can take a beating without taking too much damage.

Calder - Isn't that where those drag posers go? ;)
Phillip Island - 1.48.9 not bad for me.
Sandown - 1.22.44 first time there.
Winton - 1.37.51 need to go faster.
1/4 Mile - something@120mph

Yeah, the bottom plastic lip is quite thick nd withstands bumps very nicely... the question is, where to get one??

Bro, your front bar already have something like a lip, adding on this lip will look weird. It'll look like the front has 2 lips.

So are you after a front lip or a front diffuser?

If you're after a front lip then there are different ones. Originaly Series 1/2 Front lips are plastic and are what most R33 GTR's have, Series 3 lips are a bit bigger/more aggressive and are plastic, obviously come on the Series 3 R33 GTR's. About 900$ for the s1 and $1200 for S3 lip from nissan. They are plastic and will take a beating.

You can get fibreglass copies from lots of places, one of them is uas as listed above. Fibreglass is a lot cheaper but will crack/chip easier than original plastic, keep that in mind.

Hey mate, thanks for your reply and info... it's much appreciated...

Yeah, I like the stock R33 GTR lip a lot (the rubbery plastic one) - besides wreckers... only Nissan can order them genuinely from Japan and yes, you are right... about $600 sounds right... too much... diffusers look like lips and they look so aggressive...

I'll just have to see how things go... thanks mate...

Did anyone find out where you could purchase the diffuser's not the lips?
