They work like a champ. I drive my TT 370z in over 100 deg weather with no problems. Without them, I would overheat in slow moving traffic for sure with the massive intercooler I have up front.

I have the Tracspec vents too. Work great.

Those 2 inlets you have at the rear won't work like you think.

I’m no engineer, but …yeah, those triangular shapes are what are called NACA ducts and are supposed to be the best shape for drawing air in

The hood I’ve seen for both the z34 and r35 all have those positioned further forward to suck in cold air

Any opening in the rear should be designed to let hot air out
