Not meaning to , but imo having ducts that far back will cause turbulence and drag inside the engine bay. Looks trick, though, Simota you are amazing.

Why would those cause a problem on the Z if not on the GTR, isn't the point so that some air does get into the engine? if there was no increased drag wouldn't there be no air getting into the hood?
