First Molding Rear Diffuser in Carbon Fiber. Japanese 1x1 weave (not a replica from RaceOnUSA). Will fit 89-94 240SX Fastbacks. Can possibly be modified for other chassis.
I originally ordered this piece for my S13 when I still had it, and I dont want to even try to make this fit for my S14. So, its for sale. It was sitting at Autobacs for a while, and I finally picked it up. It is brand new, never been mounted. The only bad thing is that is some small cracks (the biggest about 1" in length) which occured through shipment from Japan (since freight forwarders suck and can't read a package that says "do not stack".) Overall the diffuser is still very rigid and will function the same. Comes with all necessary hardware, and instructions (in Japanese).
Autobacs retail was $1002, Bulletproof sells this for $958, Looking to get $700. As of now, NO SHIPPING! Packing this thing in a box is gonna be a pain. If no one local wants it, then I will consider shipping. Pick up in SoCal (Westminster). PM me or email
[email protected] for a faster response.
I WILL NOW DO SHIPPING, PM WITH YOUR ZIP CODES, AND I WILL GIVE YOU A QUOTE!!!

This is the same one, but I'm selling it for $700 (no something, lol)

I really didnt look over what had to be done to make this fit for an S14. I just laid it under my chassis. From what I remember, the width was about right, length seemed about right. I also did notice that I would have to enlarge the exhaust channel on the diffuser to fit to my reinhard exhaust. It doesnt go with the look of my car, so I didnt make an effort to mock it up. I would assume that the hardware supplied wouldnt work for the S14, so you would have to make some brackets. When its not as hot, I will lay it under the car again and take some pics.

Test fitted the diffuser on my S14 today....Check the pics...
From what I quickly saw, the leading exhaust opening just needs to be enlarged, and the leading edge needs to be cut back about 2-3 inches (since a S13 hatchback has such a long underside compared to an S14.
Other than that, the depth of the diffuser is pretty good, and the width is perfect in between the wheels/tires.
The pictures have the diffuser pushed over to the left more because it was hitting the exhaust. The diffuser was placed as far forward as possible (the leading edge is touching the rear subframe).

Size seemed okay, but the opening was too far to the left. But if you are gonna trim the leading edge of the diffuser, you may just end up clearing the exhaust.
UPS is saying about $150 shipping to you. Not bad for something this large.

how much do you think would need to be trimmed off the back? for the ehxaust to clear correctly in the back?

I am also becoming very interested in this and willing to pick up. I'm just toying with the idea right now seeing if I can scrounge up some extra cash to pick this up if topsecret doesn't go through with it. (i also have an S14)

Well, do you see how the back extends way past the bumper? To make that sit at a good position, I would say you would have to cut about 2-3" of the leading edge. The leading edge was hitting the subframe (right where the 2 rear diff bushings are) Cutting the channel for the exhaust is gonna be cakewalk after that leading edge is trimmed down.
Also, I figured that First Molding wouldnt be able to make a diffuser that would fit EVERY exhaust. So, depending on the brand of your exhaust, it may take a different route than my Reinhard (ie RS-R ExMag, Apexi N1 Dual, etc)

hmmm...i have 3.5in piping and my muffler is huge so it probabaly wouldnt fit. but ive thought about doing a dart izumi style tips so im sure it would clear.

i will think about it a bit more.but im still highly interested

Just let me know what you want to do. In the meantime you should check out the measurements on First Moldings website. That might help you make your decision.
