Thanks!

Big front lip.
On the old FD a front lip air dam was fitted to the Type R and available on other models as an option.
Due to the huge openings in the front of the New FD, the volume of air entering at speed could not pass through the radiator fast enough and was coming back out again. This excess air was then flowing under the car, reducing the negative pressure and unsticking the car from the road. To combat this problem a much larger lip was added to the bottom of the front spoiler and extended to carry any excess air around to the sides of the car.
The lip also extends further forward and collects air from the in front of the car, further reducing the pressure under the car, increasing down force.

I am no aero engineer, so I don't know whether it helps, disturbs or does nothing to Z32.
Any Engineer feels free to chim in to educate me on this respect, please :)
