introspect Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 like the design of 3 +1 for me. Would be very interested in this for track use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taras Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 That's quite interesting. So if I've read that right design 4 is best for down-force, and 2 is best for drag reduction and brake cooling? Yes but 3 is best for cooling breaks as it is specifically directs the air to the insides of the wheels. Strange that some of you choose 3 because though it looks the best, it is also the worst at being a front splitter because it produces the most drag. You see that's the problem of making something which does one thing and then making it serve another purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I'm going to change my mind and say number 4 Seems the best compromise on reflection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruddles Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 No.2 for me! As surely there are other ways to exploit brake cooling, I'm sure I saw a member run flexi-hose from the grill to the brakes on here somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 No IMO looks like the best of all things. But it could be people who want this will be more hardcore/focused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leodspider Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 There's a company who make a front splitter/under tray called arkham racing I think it's called that do one for the m3, should take a look at thier design.

taras Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 So here it is. This is going into production in a few weeks time and the estimate price will be £350 for the entire kit in FRP only. Carbon one is too expensive and will only be destroyed in a matter of days however if anyone wants it in carbon they can request it from us. The kit will consist of. -1 Universal Under Splitter in FRP -4 Adjustable turn buckle rods -16x M4 nuts and bolts -10x Chimney C Nuts -10x M6 Bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Want! that looks awesome! looking forward to hearing the feedback from some of the track goers on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Wasn't this supposed to be made form PU for flexibility? Won't FRP be slightly vulnerable to stones etc and may crack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taras Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 we tried but PU was too floppy as a large sheet. In order for it to be rigid enough the PU had to be over 1.5cm thick. I'll have this fitted in a few weeks time when my car is ready so I can make some fitting instructions too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OllyB Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Interested to see what this looks like on a Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 It'd be interesting to see how you gain access to change oil. The Zspeed undertray has an access flap built in so that you can easily undertake routine maintenance. Looks like you'll have to remove the entire splitter to access Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wackosr Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Great design work and impressive flow modles. What program do you use? Can't wait to see the pics of it fitted. Top work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taras Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Special thanks to Marco in the Netherlands who races in the Time Attack for the pics of his install. He's yet to fit the front 2 rods and to adjust his suspension but as you can see it works well in combination with our front lip on his GT4. We'll be getting some more feedback from his trial runs soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taras Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 So after a few test runs and a few tweaks, Marco had a great run at Circuit Park Zandvoort. In fact he did so well he was thrown out of his class!!! His feedback was: Yesterday I was kicked out of my class, because I was driving too fast! The splitter did a great job!In a certain corner I first drove 69km/h on gps, now it was 89km/h!, with no problems!The car feels great now in corners!Especially in fast tricky corners, like Scheivlak.It is an high speed corner to the right, that also goes downward.Check it on Youtube if you want!I am very pleased with the splitter!Great job!! So there you go. If you're into track events, this IS a must have for your car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I've been looking at the APR one guys, and also gtc-300 high level wing or voltex type 8 wing. Will you guys be doing anything similar Voltex type 8 APR GTC-300 APR splitter If you's are gonna be able to do something similar I'm very interested. Got prices sitting there for these from Tarmac as I'm gonna be doing this work during the winter months. Would prefer the voltex wing as the weight spread on the boot is better. I fear the gtc will crack my carbon boot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taras Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 We do already have something similar to the voltex spoiler which our track customers use for function over style. If you pm me your email I'll send you some pics. As for the APR, you'll find that our under tray splitter is proven to be more superior than a half semi circle cut out.

MrLizard Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 id be happy to test the results on a 350z for you if you like we have 2 test days booked for brandshatch and have on board data logging/gps/g force/split etc might make more difference now we are moving back from slicks to semi's and we do have a chunky rear wing to offset potentially. let me know if your interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taras Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thanks but we've spent enough money on R&D and passed that now. They're ready for production if you're interested in buying one? got your PM Neil. Sending you some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hi mate, got the pics just now. Is the wing universal or 350z specific also? I'm sure the undertray would be fine but I dont have access to prep it etc which is a little off putting and would prefer something a little stronger than frp as i'm sitting very low and hard and fear that this will get demolished hitting a kerb on track. Would you consider doing a 350z specific type in something more durable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 looks good, is that the design option three then? Would need to raise up my car a good bit to stick that on, anyone want to buy a Z-speed undertray ? New in box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
