brake ducts for 2015+ NISMO

2016_NISMO · 12-21-2016, 04:37 PM

Wondering if anyone is making a kit to somehow mount brake ducts on the front bumper of the 2015+ NISMO. Searching hasn't revealed anything useful, so asking here as a final attempt....

I donno if anyone tried the 2015 bumper, but I've read about folks making ducts with only negligible improvement in cooling. probably better off getting slotted rotors and pads suited for the track.

I mean its one thing to think its doing something cool but.. kinda like CAI it might be all be in ur head.

This is the only one i've seen with brake ducts on a 2015+ Z. It's apparently a german race team, and there are no details, but they are most certainly custom.

I don't see how it makes a "negligble" improvement, isn't brake cooling the biggest weakness of the Z34?

Performance wise all you need is higher temp brake fluid and better pads. For looks just go to home depot and find something that "looks" good.

Curious why you'd say than when I found the opposite said from track guys here:

Anyone ever experience Brake Failure as C&D did?
