Thank you. I used the Stillen brake duct kit, 4" to 2" wood dust hose reducers, and the Nismo brake ducts to get it to work.

the reason it looks better on the grey Z is because it doesnt stand out as much. black on grey. your Z is blue with black accents. jumps out a lot and is totally not a sleeper look.
besides, you have a tow hook, unless you race, that screams look at me. Tons of kids come into the store asking for tow hooks and sometimes i'll start a convo and ask "so what else have you done" and 90% of the time its lower (on springs), rims (replicas), tow hook. if you spend more on the outside than engine/suspension/brakes, its rice as far as im concerned Last edited by Ire; 09-10-2012 at 12:13 AM. |

LOL at your Tow Hook comment! So you HAVE to race your car to have a tow hook, really? What about this scenario? Your car gets towed, and not because you needed a tow. How would the tow company secure your car in the flat bed? Think about this one for a second...... did you figure it out? They will use what ever braces they find in the suspension to secure the car... I in the other hand rather have a place where these idiots can place their hook into. =P INCASE my car ever gets towed WITHOUT my consent or supervision. You realize there are many people here 100% completely satisfied with the stock perfomance of the car right? Additionally, you do realize there are tons of people with factory warranty in their cars right? For me personally, I have a 100,000 mile warranty and I completely love the security of having a completely reliable engine and no fear of forking over thousands of dollars for any repairs for the life time I will own this car. This is the main reason I will not touch my engine. Reliability/Security > Engine Modification. You have to move past the Civic mindset days broah in where adding anything to a 120 hp car was ridicoulous = rice. This is when the term was coined. Our cars are produce 332 hp already and I am personally very satisfied with its performance, which is the reason why i got this car to begin with. now Last edited by robones; 09-10-2012 at 09:04 AM. |

Yeah one intake duct is the ideal look IMO as well. if the 370 had a single I take intake manifold I would have already done this mod. but I've been reluctant because you need two. Regardless I may be bored one day and end up doing it either way! LOL

The intake ducts. I meant to ask the "thread owner"
But I remember seeing a 370 with ONE intake ducts. I just didn't know what they were for at the time... But it looked cool. Now that I know the purpose of it, I'm thinking how much of a bastard he looked. Lol |

LOL thanks Scribe! Dont know what happened there.
Still waiting on a response... The rectangular shape of these ducts are a little more appealing. These may be the Varis ducts but i dont see the little screws in each corner like the one pictured below so its throwing me off a bit. |
