NACA = National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Google it, lots of places sell them. NACA ducts are meant to create airflow with the least possible drag. If you are putting these on your car it would probably be with the goal of getting some flow from the front grill and through the engine bay. You want to put them around the same area where the GT-R has them for them to work correctly...

I am surprised no one hasn't done this yet and that someone hasn't done some fancy TIG welding aluminum work with our hood.

Yea I saw a white one with it. It was one of those random photos that changes on top of the site.

I wouldn't do it man. One of the nice things about the Z is the uninterrupted curved lines. If you look there's hardly a strait line on the body. Having these vents on the hood would look out of place and tacky. Just my opinion though.

Hey guys, I just saw this thread and the link to the DIY is posted on the vented hood thread. Just search vented hood and it'll be the top 5 search results. Hope it helps
