Aerodynamic specs for the RZ34

[romancao]

Hi guys：
Are there any websites or forums where I can find the aerodynamic specs for the RZ34? I'd like to learn how to improve the RZ34's aerodynamics.

thanks! What about the performance

The performance numbers are listed in the smaller print in under it for comparison

Fun fact at speeds above 120ish the performance actually generates a tiny bit of lift

I know that，the front and rear bumpers on the Nismo version feature a number of airflow management designs to reduce lift. Thank you very much.

The sport model without a rear spoiler and front under chin spoiler is limited to a lower speed than the performance for safety

Interesting. My '03 Track had something they called "Zero Lift Package." Never dug into what it was, but it's possible it was just the little air dam under the front bumper.

Actually, if Googlebot is correct, now I know...
"The 2003 Nissan 350Z "Zero Lift" aerodynamic design was a hallmark of the car's engineering, allowing the vehicle to feel stable and glued to the road at high speeds. Unlike many sports cars that rely on large, drag-inducing wings, Nissan accomplished this by routing the exhaust to hug the underbody, flattening the floorboard, and managing underbody airflow to eliminate body lift."

Have to say, maybe it was a perfect day/conditions, but the one time I maxed MPH (165?) it started feeling floaty around 125-130 but calmed down and felt really stable at max. Not sure how much faster you could push it with the speed limiter removed, but it has a little more left.

Nismo also has different(better) under car air management and an extra flat panel that covers the front aluminum subframe behind the revised front undertray.

Thank you very much. Are there any pictures or links? I'd like to put together a kit for my Performance Z to improve its aerodynamics. I noticed that the Z aiming for a 58‑second lap time at Tsukuba Circuit only used the Nismo front bumper（without any other Nismo body parts）, so I'm wondering if I should follow the same modification approach.

Sarah-N-Tuned does a goos job showing it in her video:


At that timestamp you can see the better front undertray, the rear undercover the sport/performance lacks, the wheel well diffusers unique to the Nismo, as well as the brake cooling air deflectors attached to the front sway bar. All are underbody aero features unique to the Nismo.


You can compare it to her video on the standard Z also to better see the differences:
