Nismo VSPEC intake duct!
 

Who all would be interested in Nismo specific intake duct?

This is a dry carbon sample:

Available materials would be: FRP, Carbon, & Dry Carbon

The intake duct would feed the area under the bumper for those with G3 intake or similar. this will allow more fresh air to the intakes which in theory could help promote more power.

To give an idea what it would look like: (pre install mock up):

Let me know if you would be interested and I can look to get these made before March 2015...

So would this attach to the bumper, or would it need to be cut into the bumper?

It would be cut into the bumper.

Hmmm.... what does it look like installed?

I haven't installed it yet. But I can see about a better mock up pic

Maybe...

More pics:

Hopefully this will give you guys a better idea how it will look before I install it

hmmm I think I may like this. not sure yet.

sub'd for more pics and install. more air to my intakes does sound pretty nice :tup:

Thanks! It will definitely help improve cold air flow to the intake area. However, we want to make sure it is not direct airflow onto the filters as this actually has been tested locally to decrease performance and starve the filter... In essence turbulence is created around the filter causing a starving affect.

You'll want/need to paint the crash bar, easy peasy.

Yeah, I believe the foam may need to be shaped. I wont know until I test fit. Either way should be a decent mod and functional!

Will it be able to fit the 09-12 base bumpers?

It was not made to....

Function over look. go for it!

Wouldn't you also be concerned about water intrusion on the filters? This will provide a direct path for rain while being driven.

No as the intake duct is several inches below the filters. Like posted above there is no direct air impact to the filters so no water intrusion on the filters. I say this with one exception... Don't submerge the car in water lol

I'm not actually seeing how this is going to do much for us. The crash bar is located directly behind your proposed area of installation. I forecast the airflow just being smashed straight into the bar.

The nismo needs one thing BADLY: A proper fitted radiator shroud from the nose intake to the radiator, with optional naca ducts on the sides for brake tubing. I sincerely believe this would have a drastic effect on our cooling issues. Make that out of FRP and I'll buy one.

Robert,

As in all cars you have the crash bar and then a foam filler behind your bumper. Once fitted I will have a DIY on how to shave the foam to allow the air to flow up into the intake area. I am already working with someone for an alternate Nismo rc brake duct kit. Again there should not be a problem with this intake duct.

What's the size of this duct? If I can fit one on regular bumper I'll get one for sure.

sub'd just because I may become NISMO owner soon. and I want to actually see the pics when I'm not behind a proxy.

Whatever happened with this?

Any way to get these made now?

Nope. It was another one of his pipe dreams.

You could try reaching out to Piotr Grzelak on FB, he's been making parts for the Zs for sometime now so he might be able to help.

I'm game.
