I think the "purpose-designed ducting" might be the vents inside the rotors.

Went to the downtown Nashville dealership today (they're always great, props to them) to investigate the 2012s.

I was able to find the same line in the print marketing:

And look at this:

Too bad that's on the MAXIMA!

Here is the Z, and it's the same for all variants (base/sport/MT/auto):

So despite the literature, sadly, there is no brake ducting on 2012 370Zs.

Your not getting much cooling with just some vents in front of the tire... you need them coming from behind the wheel IMO.

So I tried taking pictures from under the car tonight (YES! My car arrived today, please see the Bonzo game thread for details), but I didn't have much luck. It was dark and I couldn't see. Besides, has anyone yet discovered this car is really close to the ground!!!

Here's the pics I did get.....not that they show anything... sorry.

Cheers! Bonzo

yah, looks the same as my 09, i thinks, especially the clean part.

congrats again, bonzo.

I do not see anything new over the 09. Congrats Bonzo and thx for posting the pics.

So it's just false advertising?

I've been working on getting professionally made brake ducting to drive my Nismo the way it should be driven.
Same goes for an oil cooler kit with proper ducting.
