Default Nismo bumper brake duct install

I purchased a stillen brake cooling kit but did not want to cut holes In the nismo front bumper. I have a z speed undertray that I have mounted revotech naca ducts into. It has all worked out really well and looks neat.

That made me slightly horny...
And chance a pebble will be thrown up and go as far as to ding the rotor/get caught between the pad?

That's a chance you take with any kit. Even the factory set-ups on other vehicles.


Interesting set-up.

This set up looks like ones that I have seen on a few Zo6 Corvettes. Look good!!! Very Nice.

Interesting set-up.
I just got my set of carbon fiber ducts like Rusty and I am going to try and make a screen cover to avoid the possibility of injesting a rock (for lack of a better term) in the duct.

Once I figure out the the what and the how, I'll post some pictures.

GREAT idea with the undertray though.

this is a link to the ducts I used, they were the only ones I could find with a rearward facing outlet, the normal style will not work due to space issues.

I have not measured temps but will once I get setup and head to the track.
