What's the aero theory behind those boxed rear guards? Shitbreak's Skyline is a good example.

[Cal]

I'm not sure they do anything other than cause an aero disturbance.

See where the tail lights are. That's about where the rear track on a narrow bodied 911 like mine ends. It was all about getting another 12" of rubber under each guard!

[Shitbreak]

They were also running much wider track were they not?

Only about a metre in the case of the Porsche!

So boxed guards cool or not? I need to know if the internets approves of my m3, if not I gotta sell it

[MR 1JZ]

Nah id sell it.

Ill do you a favour and give you 2k for it cash

Some rear boxed guards have an air inlet at the front and an exit at the back, like the Skyline. Can understand having the exit but having an inlet at the front seems counter productive.

I know the zakspeed capri had a radiator in front of the rear wheels (not sure exactly what it was cooling though). So I suspect the skyline (and a lot of that design of car) had cooling there.

EDIT: Here you go

Looking at the above links, it looks like they were coolant radiators for engine cooling. Placed there probably for weight distribution.
It really is a fucking cool car.

Inlet at front for brake cooling.

Radiators inside the rear boxes make sense, brake cooling no, there are better ways than bringing in a lot of air hitting against the front of the tyres and causing lots of drag.
