Oil temps yeah... I'd imagine another 9 rows on the cooler would help.

Change your oil asap. Once oil sees temps over 250/260 it breaks down very fast and becomes useless. Better the oil of course and better the base stock used the longer it'll last though.

For all of those recommending extra brake ducting... here's another question...

Question
- Has anyone done a 2nd hose to their rotor before?

I'm open to suggestions. BUT not sure how to do fitment.

hmm...

A couple of people have done the 2nd hose. Just can't remember who. The one was on a Nismo with the Nismo RC brake ducts, which have a 4" opening. They used a 4" to 2-2" hose splitter. You just may need to have a larger inlet opening.

I'm using the front bumper "fangs" that stillen provided with their kit.
Wondering where a different intake might go. *scratches head

Maybe you could put a couple of generic NACA ducts on the undertray and use that as the air intake to the hoses.

I know someone here did this. He cut two openings on the Zspeed undertray. I'm trying to find the thread. The shop that I took my car to mentioned that as a possible solution as well.

For now, something related:

Pretty cool brake duct setup for rotors (GTR)

Edit: Found the thread, ducts @ undertray, Nismo bumper brake duct install

Think one guy cut his fangs out. Made a plate with 2 holes in it for each side. Can't find the post or the pictures of it.
