So I went over to James' house for a second opinion on the clearance issue with the R2C intake and confirmed that this intake will NOT properly fit my 2012 nismo. The passenger side intake tube does provide enough angle to allow for enough clearance to shut the hood. Thanks James for providing your garage and a second opinion. I am not happy but feel better knowing its not just me.
I will be contacting tunerZ for refund.

Be very very careful when purchasing any aftermarket parts for the NISMO models. I attempted to have my ark exhaust installed today at a very reputable shop and not only did the outlets not match up, but the resonators are touching the underbody brace. I called ark and was told I need to add washers in between the brace, about a half inch, to provide clearance. Not happy about this type of resolution, don't feel disturbing the structural integrity of the car is a safe or smart option.
