I decided to go with the revotec 4" (102mm) circular air inlets connecting to the Stillen brake cooling kit. I'll obviously need a 4 to 2 reducer as well. The inlets were about $50 and the Stillen kit is approx $235. I'll let you know how it goes.

Here are the reducers Rusty and I used:

Still a big fan of what you did Rusty (I'm not too prejudice!

Whether you go with Nismo RC ducts or the circular ones it will work out great.

Don't shy away from the Nismo RC ducts just because you are concerned about cutting the holes. I just did mine following Rusty's DIY thread and had no problems whatsoever. In fact, the actual cutting of the bumper was the easiest part.

And just an FYI - Doran Racing sells both the ducts and the RC grille if you are interested. That's where I got my ducts and grille. Nissan has yet to reply to one of my numerous e mails requesting info on how to order. I should have asked the nismo guys when they were at Circuit of the Americas last month.

^ Thanks for the info. I ordered the reducers just now. Thanks for the link. I'm sticking with the circular inlets since I already ordered them. I'll try and document as I go. Won't actually get to the install for another couple weeks... I'm shooting for an Aug.24th track date!

I received the Revotec circular 102mm (~4") air inlets and the 4"-2" reducers. I already have the Stillen brake cooling kit and will be installing everything next week. I will take plenty of pics. Wish me luck!

Can't wait to see what it looks like.

I would do the right side first because of the washer bottle. This way, any adjustments you make in location of the duct. You can make the other side look the same.

^ Good recommendation. I will do that.
