Kyle,

Can you please comment on compatibility with your oil cooler kit and the lines running around the passenger side? It seems like the oil lines and brake ducting need to go through the same area.

The car we developed this kit on is our red 370Z project car which has all of our products and then some... This car has TWO oil coolers, the heat exchanger for the supercharger kit, the power steering cooler, etc. There is no problem in clearance with our oil cooler kit.

Stillen. Make one for the nismo lol. Pretty or not I'll buy it. Function > form. And I doubt nismo owners are going to change the bumper to stillen after paying extra for the pretty body kit lol

Can someone that orders it post a pic from the front of the car? I'd like to see what the ducts look like on the outside.

Great job Stillen!

The kit looks exactly as I imagined it right down to the hose routing. I completely agree with the use of stainless vs a painted lower grade steel especially with something that shims in behind the wheel bearing.

I look forward to getting this one track tested!

For the Nismo folk, it can be done, it will just take one of you to get creative. Just check the racing catalogs and buy the brake duct that looks like it will be the easiest to mount. Figure out how to attach it to the Nismo fascia and you are good to go!

I think these ducts would look good on the nismo bumper



Or something along the lines of the nismo RC
