These are the weights I recorded on my digital scale. I would use these numbers as reference only as I'm sure my measuring device is not 100% accurate. Factory shroud = 2.2lbs Z-Speed shroud = 5.6lbs I have updated the OP with the weights.

Great write-up mr. gale.
Sorry to jack the thread, but could you please provide some information on your ramps?

I have the 56" ramps though because shipping the 67" ramps to Canada is ridiculous. This set up works perfectly, my front lip doesn't rub at all going up or down... the air deflectors on the other hand... being 2" off the ground, they hit everything.

I've got the black one with SS hardware. I love it.
If you have an oil cooler with a sandwich adapter, you may need to take the whole panel off to change the oil. I've got a GTM oil cooler/sandwich plate, and that filter isn't coming off through the trap door.

Just ordered mine today! Seeing as I will be doing my own maintenance from here on out I did not want to have to remove the crappy plastic OEM one every time. Once was enough during the sway bar install. This adds much better protection and makes oil changes a snap....if the filter isn't relocated.

A bit of a bump but well deserved. I just installed this yesterday I got the Nismo one with the black powder coat. I have to say it is a well made product. Everything aligned up nicely with the rest of the car, that I know it should be the norm for everything to fit but some less reputable vendors have poor fitment issues, this does not, its quality workmanship IMO. It was very simple to install and only required a little bit of through to figure out how the sides installed. They provided all the bolts needed to install it so you didn't have to re uses any old parts and the bolts had a powder coating as well to help slow any corrosion. I am very happy with it, its defiantly more solid then the near $1,000 plastic from Nissan. If someone is expecting some more cooling from the aluminum and vent hole I didn't notice any difference and after about an hour of driving I got out and checked it it had pickup any amount of heat an the part was only a bit warm so there's not really any heat transfer going on.
Anyone want to buy an slightly used oem under shroud? =P |
