13+ brake cooking kit

So the Stillen brake cooling kit does NOT fit the newer front fascias. We tried earlier today and it was a no go. Here's the pics for the proof JIC

Cooking kit:



Really like the bialetti I cooked with today, normaly I just use cheap circulon. Didn't even need any oil today to sautee / Fry. Highly recommended although I'm not sure if you would need a special coating for the 13+

ID10T, or perhaps PEBCAK, but I laughed, which was the object !!!

Nice post .....

I would drill a whole in the original piece and mount the Stillen piece behind it.

Use a hole-saw bit on the original piece and cut off the cylindrical lip on the Stillen part. Jb weld it together and you won't even be to tell it was modified. That is if the diameter is small enough to fit.

How about a vaccum cleaner nozzle the size of the 3 entries in the fascia? That way it sucks more air and still gets in to the brake hose. Someone on here used a nozzle for cooling purposes too, i think it was for the differential, cant really remember.

I know, not the best or prettiest idea, just trying to help

I had to use a 4" to 2" dust collector reduser to make my RC brake ducts work with the Stillen kit.

Unreal Nissan didnt make a simple brake cooling fixuture for these cars. My 1997 BMW had a pair stock up front. Was a plastic rectangular tube that merely clipped into the wheel well area and out the front bumper cut outs.
