Hood Pins for Carbon Fiber
 
Hello!

I recently purchased a VIS AMS hood for my Nismo, but was wondering how truly necessary hood pins are. I see most Z’s without them, but then again most Z’s don’t track. I regularly hit 120-145 mph, so having some stability is important.

I have a set of Aerocatch hood pins sitting around from a friend’s car that he never used, so I can use them if needed. Thoughts?

Any pics of your cars with hood pins would be appreciated, as would any additional info anyone could share.

Thanks!

Look in the track section.

Doesn’t really have anything to do with track stuff, tbh.

:icon14: umm... your stability concerns at 120-145 mph better be on the track :shakes head:

And I think his point was you will find more information on this topic in the track section.

There is a decent thread for the pins and I believe one with showing mounting locations. Let me google...

Oh you’re so helpful. It’s not like it’s just the same results of dudes going “Nah I don’t need hood pins on the street” when I’m searching for high speed stability.

But go off.

Take it easy. If you would have said that you tried to google and didn't find what you was looking for. Then started to ask your question. You might have your answer quicker with more replies. But now, you kind of dug a hole. You might not get any help now. Cooltoy is a big help around here.

Lack of sense of humor is a terrible affliction. We should take it easy on him.
