Fair enough, but if you're ever in Houston the bar tab's on me.

After having this on the car and running it to and from ZDayZ this year I think I finally have enough driving time on it to post a review. So here goes...

Initial Impression:
Sturdy construction and well made; similar to the ZSpeed under shield in terms of powder coating. The flat stock used to manufacture it isn't quite as thick though. Thought out design as well, even down to the install hardware. The bolts you use to attach the guide have the washers built into the heads, so you don't have to worry about them slipping/falling off or feeding them onto the bolt at the last second while in a tight spot.

Ease of Install:
(Take this section with a grain of salt as I have the original V1 air guide, not the newly released V2 guide. The V2 guide has additional cuts for clearance and more room for the oil coolers, aftermarket radiators, etc.)

This all depends on what other aftermarket parts you have in the area. I personally have a 25 row Setrab oil cooler with Z1 SS braided lines and AAM Competition cold air intakes (2.75" diameter tubing and K&N filters). So, it is quite the tight fit to run the oil cooler lines behind the air guide but it does all fit. For extra piece of mind I wrapped my oil cooler lines in some thick side-walled vinyl tubing. That way if the oil lines briefly rub on the radiator or air guide from a sudden bump or pothole in the road neither will be harmed. I did this a couple years ago when I originally installed my AAM intake to protect my A/C lines and it's worked great so far without any issues. Besides the tight fit for the oil cooler lines everything bolted up and aligned exactly as you would expect it to.

Performance:
After taking this to ZDayZ and running through the mountains for almost a week I think I can honestly say that I do think this made a difference. The initial force you feel when you hammer on the accelerator seemed to be a little bit heavier. The car also seemed to want to get up and go slightly quicker. There were also a few instances where I got a mild exhaust crackle/burble (sounded AWESOME echoing off the mountains

) when climbing the power band and then letting off at the end instead of shifting to the next gear. You can run this without a tune obviously but it does have me contemplating a re-tune to see if I can pull more power out with it. Especially after seeing the Z1 same day dyno numbers of before and after installing it.

...And before anybody asks, NO I didn't pull it off at ZDayZ and make a few runs with and without it to see if I could tell a difference. I'm there to have fun and enjoy myself, not spend all day wrenching and testing the air guide lol.

Final Thoughts:
This is a well-made kit that the butt dyno indicates to be worth it if you have an aftermarket cold air intake and factory front bumper (Non-Nismo). Why spend ~$500+ on a cold air intake and leave power on the table due to the front bumper design? At $219.99 this is solid buy for anybody looking to get the most out of their aftermarket intakes.

My Z is due for some new mods and this thing looks promising. I do have a quick question, do I have to remove the crash bar to install this air guide ?

Zbrah,

You do not need to remove the crash bar. It slides right up behind it and bolts into the the upper core support and the bottom side of the crash bar. The longest part of the install is removing the front fascia and splash shield.

Bump,

Has anyone else had a chance to get these installed and review these?

Looking for feedback.

Spartan 1771 · 07-25-2018, 10:52 AM

I'm very much interested in this, but have a question before I make the purchase. I have a 2009 370z Touring with the stock front bumper, but I've installed a Mishimoto Oil Cooler and a Nismo front end damper. Will I be able to install this with those other two mods? I see a lot of people have after-market oil coolers, but I don't recall anyone mentioning installing a Nismo damper in their non-nismo Z with this mod.

Hey Spartan,

It does fit with the Nismo variants and the front damper is a non issue. As far as the oil cooler goes, the only stipulation is that it utilizes an oil cooler mount that sits on top of the the lower core support opposed to protruding out of it. If this is an issue, All you would need to do is either purchase a bracket to recess it back on top of the lower core support or make your own.

It needs to sit like this

It also depends on how big your oil cooler is, if it is short then you may be able to get away with not having to make or purchase a different mount.

Thanks for the info!

The Mishimoto Cooler measures 5.43 inches high x 11 inches long. I believe it is mounted forward of the lower core support.

Here is an install video. If you start it at the 7.41 time index you will be able to see how and where it is mounted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy0TvUjvQ14

It looks like I will need the additional bracket, but please confirm. If so, will this hamper its performance in any way?

Again, thanks for all the information and for taking the time to engineer and produce a performance part for this car so late in the game!

Spartan, from the video, it looks as if you may not need to alter your setup with the cooler being that short. I would try just removing the bracket with the oil cooler still attached and temporarily drop it down while installing the Air-Guide. Then just see if it clears. I think it may..

No increased temperature or negative impacts have been found or reported at this time. Should be just fine. The air guide leaves plenty of room for air flow.
