GTR Hood Scoops
 

Has anyone ever tried mounting a set of GTR hood scoops on a 370Z. Carbon Fiber ones can be bought for under $200. Just a mater of cutting some holes in the hood. Just not sure it they would work. I believe the GTR has a curved area where the mount into the hood.

SIMOTA1 had the GTR vent scoops before. He cut the hood himself iirc.

I think the stock Z hood looks good as is.

a die grinder with a cut off wheel is your best friend in this mod :tup:

i like that look

looks awesome...but i dont think id posses the skill to do this one..what work was all done might be worht asking a shop to do it?

Simota did this b/c he has big balls.:roflpuke2:

:roflpuke2: my balls have shrunken since then... lol.... can you believe back then i didnt care about f-ing up my hood lol... my mind set back then was o well if i screw this up im buying a new cf hood :bowrofl: boy does having a kid kinda stop you dead on your tracks... now im hesitant to do it again even if i want too lol

on a side note... every person that saw me cut my hood that day thought i was a complete moron lol including my employees... all they kept saying was boss you sure you know what your doing? all i kept telling my self was GTR... GTR.... GTRRRRR lol :bowrofl:

all the shops here on my island didnt wanna do it.. thats partly why i was forced to cut it myself.... :ughdance: i told my self i didnt waste 200 bucks on these stupid scoops and end having to sell em f*ck it imma cut my hood :tup:

I know what you mean about kids,but when you do mods to your car and don't worry about Fvckin up your car 99% of the time they come out great.:tup:

that is honestly true lol :tup:

what did you use to hold the in place? I feel the same way... if I screw it up, I'm just getting a carbon fiber hood to replace it anyway. I'm game for cutting up the stock hood. Any tips?

Anything behind the front 1/3 of the hood is (in most cars) a high-pressure area of the exterior. Which means that you may actually end up feeding air back under the hood - probably won't happen, but what also probably won't happen is venting any air out from under the hood. My guess is that unless they're nearer the front of the hood, you won't improve cooling efficiency, but you may hurt it.

Looks are another matter, of course.
