FRONT LIP SPLITTER TYPE 2 | DATSUN | 240Z | 260Z | 280Z
Color
Crossmember Plate
This is a front aero lip splitter for the S30 chassis!
Skillard's Type 2 Front Lip Splitter is designed to work with the Type II (2) air dam. It ties into the core support and cross member. It comes with turnbuckles, brackets and other hardware needed to mount to the existing tow hook and front bumper mounting points on the S30Z.
Made with 1/8" thick aluminum, it serves to increase handling and downforce on the front end of the car.
The splitter extends about 2.5-inches out from the lower edge of the front bumper, serving to slice the air just before it hits the front of the car.
Air hitting the front of the car goes up and over, through the engine bay, and down and under the car. The splitter BLOCKS that air from turning downward -- that downward moving air hitting the splitter helps add downward force to the front of the car, reducing front end lift and increasing front end traction, and results in LESS air going under the car, which helps with downforce as well.
The fact that the splitter and cross member plate extends back almost 3 feet, resulting in a smooth front undercarriage, also helps with the downforce equation (notice that almost all professional high-speed race cars have an underbody that is as smooth as possible and many even run front splitters).
*Installation is very similar to the video below for the Type 1. However the main difference is that since the Type 2 sits lower than the Type 1. We have included spacers to go on the bolts that secure the splitter to the cross member. The spacers will go between the splitter and the crossmember.
