I'm a Tease. I know you want 'MO, but it's TOP SECRET!

Finally got around to installing my Nismo S-Tune Suspension Kit (Z33 Spec) and the infamous Top Secret Carbon Fiber Diffuser ! This is just a few pics of the install and a lil teaser pic until I can get a proper shoot done

Rear S-Tune


Front S-tune w/Cusco Camber Arms


Pics of some 'custom brackets' that had to be made to fit the diffuser




And now the teasers




Take care

Looks good but it looks like your diffuser was installed way off.

1. The diffuser should be mounted farther up on the rear bumper so that the top middle section almost touches your license plate frame.

2. It doesn't look like you cut around your HKS exhaust like you should have.

3. You kinda went bracket crazy. The carbon brackets that come with the diffuser will work perfectly with the G35, even though they are designed for the 350Z. All you have to do is swap them from one side to the other (use the right one on the left side and vice versa). The only other brackets you possibly would need would be small ones on the front (closer to the front of the car) of the diffuser to make sure the diffuser doesn't flex at high speed.

Thanks guys for the compliments! I'll have more pics up in a few weeks after a proper photo shoot! Woady, you funny haha!

Jairen- the S-Tune are Z33 spec, not the JDM ones for our CPV35. They sadly discontinued ours Surprisingly these Z33 spec ones work just fine. Haven't put more than a 100 miles on them, but so far the car feels more planted and less 'skittish' compared to the stock sport suspension. Drop is about .75" all around. Less than I expected but still okay. I've got a 1 finger gap in front and a tight 2 finger gap in the rear.

SD General- I wanted the edges of the sides to match up evenly with the rear fender well lines. Having it that far up toward the license plate frame would have not allowed that I think. It does sit evenly on a 'crease' line though... I did cut around the HKS exhaust and it clears without touching. The section around the exhaust is lower than the sides. Think 'Valley' in the center section. It looks different than the normal TS diffuser for the Z33. Mine was labeled CPV35, so model specific maybe? That's apparently why mine didn't come with the carbon brackets either. I talked with Bulletproof and they said they could get me some, but it was $400!!!! I was like 'Hell No!', so I made my own haha! Thanks for your concern though! You still rocking your diffuser?

Take care
